Leviticus 11

1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them:

And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying: These are the living things which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

Speak to the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is wholly cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.

Whatever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.

4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that only chew the cud, or of them that only part the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.

Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean to you.

5 And the rock-badger, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.

And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean to you.

6 And the hare, because she cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, she is unclean unto you.

And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean to you.

7 And the swine, because he parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you.

And the swine, though he divideth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.

8 Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch; they are unclean unto you.

Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.

9 These may ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them may ye eat.

These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.

10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that swarm in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are a detestable thing unto you,

And all that have not fins nor scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living creature which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination to you:

11 and they shall be a detestable thing unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses ye shall have in detestation.

They shall be even an abomination to you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.

12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that is a detestable thing unto you.

Whatever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination to you.

13 And these ye shall have in detestation among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are a detestable thing: the great vulture, and the bearded vulture, and the ospray;

And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,

14 and the kite, and the falcon after its kinds;

And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;

15 every raven after its kinds;

Every raven after his kind;

16 and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-mew, and the hawk after its kinds;

And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,

17 and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl;

And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,

18 and the horned owl, and the pelican, and the carrion-vulture;

And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,

19 and the stork, and the heron after its kinds, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

20 All winged swarming things that go upon all fours are a detestable thing unto you.

All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination to you.

21 Yet these may ye eat of all winged swarming things that go upon all fours, which have jointed legs above their feet, wherewith to leap upon the earth;

Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap with upon the earth;

22 even these of them ye may eat: the locust after its kinds, and the bald locust after its kinds, and the cricket after its kinds, and the grasshopper after its kinds.

Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the beetle after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.

23 But all winged swarming things, which have four feet, are a detestable thing unto you.

But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination to you.

24 And by these ye shall become unclean; whosoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until even.

And for these ye shall be unclean: whoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the evening.

25 And whosoever beareth aught of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

And whoever beareth any of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

26 Every beast which parteth the hoof, but is not cloven footed, nor cheweth the cud, is unclean unto you; every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.

The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean to you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.

27 And whatsoever goeth upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all fours, they are unclean unto you; whoso toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the even.

And whatever goeth upon its paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean to you: whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the evening.

28 And he that beareth the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even; they are unclean unto you.

And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: they are unclean to you.

29 And these are they which are unclean unto you among the swarming things that swarm upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard after its kinds,

These also shall be unclean to you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after its kind,

30 and the gecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon.

And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.

31 These are they which are unclean to you among all that swarm; whosoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even.

These are unclean to you among all that creep: whoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.

32 And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherewith any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; then shall it be clean.

And upon whatever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, in which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; so it shall be cleansed.

33 And every earthen vessel whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean, and it ye shall break.

And every earthen vessel, into which any of them falleth, whatever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.

34 All food therein which may be eaten, that on which water cometh, shall be unclean; and all drink in every such vessel that may be drunk shall be unclean.

Of all food which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.

35 And every thing whereupon any part of their carcass falleth shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces; they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.

And every thing on which any part of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; whether an oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.

36 Nevertheless a fountain or a cistern wherein is a gathering of water shall be clean; but he who toucheth their carcass shall be unclean.

Nevertheless a fountain or pit, in which there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.

37 And if aught of their carcass fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.

And if any part of their carcase shall fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean.

38 But if water be put upon the seed, and aught of their carcass fall thereon, it is unclean unto you.

But if any water shall be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase shall fall on it, it shall be unclean to you.

39 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die, he that toucheth the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the even.

And if any beast, of which ye may eat, shall die; he that toucheth its carcase shall be unclean until the evening.

40 And he that eateth of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even; he also that beareth the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

And he that eateth of its carcase shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: he also that beareth its carcase shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

41 And every swarming thing that swarmeth upon the earth is a detestable thing; it shall not be eaten.

And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

42 Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all fours, or whatsoever hath many feet, even all swarming things that swarm upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are a detestable thing.

Whatever goeth upon the belly, and whatever goeth upon all four, or whatever hath many feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

43 Ye shall not make yourselves detestable with any swarming thing that swarmeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.

Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled by them.

44 For I am the LORD your God; sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am holy; neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of swarming thing that moveth upon the earth.

For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

45 For I am the LORD that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

For I am the LORD that bringeth you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

46 This is the law of the beast, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that swarmeth upon the earth;

This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:

47 to make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.

To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
