Leviticus 11

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

וַיְדַבֵּר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה וְאֶֽל־אַהֲרֹן לֵאמֹר אֲלֵהֶֽם׃

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.

דַּבְּרוּ אֶל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר זֹאת הַֽחַיָּה אֲשֶׁר תֹּאכְלוּ מִכׇּל־הַבְּהֵמָה אֲשֶׁר עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

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

כֹּל ׀ מַפְרֶסֶת פַּרְסָה וְשֹׁסַעַת שֶׁסַע פְּרָסֹת מַעֲלַת גֵּרָה בַּבְּהֵמָה אֹתָהּ תֹּאכֵֽלוּ׃

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.

אַךְ אֶת־זֶה לֹא תֹֽאכְלוּ מִֽמַּעֲלֵי הַגֵּרָה וּמִמַּפְרִסֵי הַפַּרְסָה אֶֽת־הַגָּמָל כִּֽי־מַעֲלֵה גֵרָה הוּא וּפַרְסָה אֵינֶנּוּ מַפְרִיס טָמֵא הוּא לָכֶֽם׃

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

וְאֶת־הַשָּׁפָן כִּֽי־מַעֲלֵה גֵרָה הוּא וּפַרְסָה לֹא יַפְרִיס טָמֵא הוּא לָכֶֽם׃

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

וְאֶת־הָאַרְנֶבֶת כִּֽי־מַעֲלַת גֵּרָה הִוא וּפַרְסָה לֹא הִפְרִיסָה טְמֵאָה הִוא לָכֶֽם׃

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

וְאֶת־הַחֲזִיר כִּֽי־מַפְרִיס פַּרְסָה הוּא וְשֹׁסַע שֶׁסַע פַּרְסָה וְהוּא גֵּרָה לֹֽא־יִגָּר טָמֵא הוּא לָכֶֽם׃

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

מִבְּשָׂרָם לֹא תֹאכֵלוּ וּבְנִבְלָתָם לֹא תִגָּעוּ טְמֵאִים הֵם לָכֶֽם׃

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.

אֶת־זֶה תֹּֽאכְלוּ מִכֹּל אֲשֶׁר בַּמָּיִם כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ סְנַפִּיר וְקַשְׂקֶשֶׂת בַּמַּיִם בַּיַּמִּים וּבַנְּחָלִים אֹתָם תֹּאכֵֽלוּ׃

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,

וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר אֵֽין־לוֹ סְנַפִּיר וְקַשְׂקֶשֶׂת בַּיַּמִּים וּבַנְּחָלִים מִכֹּל שֶׁרֶץ הַמַּיִם וּמִכֹּל נֶפֶשׁ הַחַיָּה אֲשֶׁר בַּמָּיִם שֶׁקֶץ הֵם לָכֶֽם׃

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.

וְשֶׁקֶץ יִהְיוּ לָכֶם מִבְּשָׂרָם לֹא תֹאכֵלוּ וְאֶת־נִבְלָתָם תְּשַׁקֵּֽצוּ׃

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

כֹּל אֲשֶׁר אֵֽין־לוֹ סְנַפִּיר וְקַשְׂקֶשֶׂת בַּמָּיִם שֶׁקֶץ הוּא לָכֶֽם׃

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;

וְאֶת־אֵלֶּה תְּשַׁקְּצוּ מִן־הָעוֹף לֹא יֵאָכְלוּ שֶׁקֶץ הֵם אֶת־הַנֶּשֶׁר וְאֶת־הַפֶּרֶס וְאֵת הָעׇזְנִיָּֽה׃

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

וְאֶת־הַדָּאָה וְאֶת־הָאַיָּה לְמִינָֽהּ׃

15 every raven after its kinds;

אֵת כׇּל־עֹרֵב לְמִינֽוֹ׃

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

וְאֵת בַּת הַֽיַּעֲנָה וְאֶת־הַתַּחְמָס וְאֶת־הַשָּׁחַף וְאֶת־הַנֵּץ לְמִינֵֽהוּ׃

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

וְאֶת־הַכּוֹס וְאֶת־הַשָּׁלָךְ וְאֶת־הַיַּנְשֽׁוּף׃

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

וְאֶת־הַתִּנְשֶׁמֶת וְאֶת־הַקָּאָת וְאֶת־הָרָחָֽם׃

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

וְאֵת הַחֲסִידָה הָאֲנָפָה לְמִינָהּ וְאֶת־הַדּוּכִיפַת וְאֶת־הָעֲטַלֵּֽף׃

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

כֹּל שֶׁרֶץ הָעוֹף הַהֹלֵךְ עַל־אַרְבַּע שֶׁקֶץ הוּא לָכֶֽם׃

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;

אַךְ אֶת־זֶה תֹּֽאכְלוּ מִכֹּל שֶׁרֶץ הָעוֹף הַהֹלֵךְ עַל־אַרְבַּע אֲשֶׁר־[לוֹ] (לא) כְרָעַיִם מִמַּעַל לְרַגְלָיו לְנַתֵּר בָּהֵן עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

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.

אֶת־אֵלֶּה מֵהֶם תֹּאכֵלוּ אֶת־הָֽאַרְבֶּה לְמִינוֹ וְאֶת־הַסׇּלְעָם לְמִינֵהוּ וְאֶת־הַחַרְגֹּל לְמִינֵהוּ וְאֶת־הֶחָגָב לְמִינֵֽהוּ׃

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

וְכֹל שֶׁרֶץ הָעוֹף אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ אַרְבַּע רַגְלָיִם שֶׁקֶץ הוּא לָכֶֽם׃

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

וּלְאֵלֶּה תִּטַּמָּאוּ כׇּל־הַנֹּגֵעַ בְּנִבְלָתָם יִטְמָא עַד־הָעָֽרֶב׃

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

וְכׇל־הַנֹּשֵׂא מִנִּבְלָתָם יְכַבֵּס בְּגָדָיו וְטָמֵא עַד־הָעָֽרֶב׃

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.

לְֽכׇל־הַבְּהֵמָה אֲשֶׁר הִוא מַפְרֶסֶת פַּרְסָה וְשֶׁסַע ׀ אֵינֶנָּה שֹׁסַעַת וְגֵרָה אֵינֶנָּה מַעֲלָה טְמֵאִים הֵם לָכֶם כׇּל־הַנֹּגֵעַ בָּהֶם יִטְמָֽא׃

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.

וְכֹל ׀ הוֹלֵךְ עַל־כַּפָּיו בְּכׇל־הַֽחַיָּה הַהֹלֶכֶת עַל־אַרְבַּע טְמֵאִים הֵם לָכֶם כׇּל־הַנֹּגֵעַ בְּנִבְלָתָם יִטְמָא עַד־הָעָֽרֶב׃

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

וְהַנֹּשֵׂא אֶת־נִבְלָתָם יְכַבֵּס בְּגָדָיו וְטָמֵא עַד־הָעָרֶב טְמֵאִים הֵמָּה לָכֶֽם׃

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,

וְזֶה לָכֶם הַטָּמֵא בַּשֶּׁרֶץ הַשֹּׁרֵץ עַל־הָאָרֶץ הַחֹלֶד וְהָעַכְבָּר וְהַצָּב לְמִינֵֽהוּ׃

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

וְהָאֲנָקָה וְהַכֹּחַ וְהַלְּטָאָה וְהַחֹמֶט וְהַתִּנְשָֽׁמֶת׃

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.

אֵלֶּה הַטְּמֵאִים לָכֶם בְּכׇל־הַשָּׁרֶץ כׇּל־הַנֹּגֵעַ בָּהֶם בְּמֹתָם יִטְמָא עַד־הָעָֽרֶב׃

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.

וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר־יִפֹּל־עָלָיו מֵהֶם ׀ בְּמֹתָם יִטְמָא מִכׇּל־כְּלִי־עֵץ אוֹ בֶגֶד אוֹ־עוֹר אוֹ שָׂק כׇּל־כְּלִי אֲשֶׁר־יֵעָשֶׂה מְלָאכָה בָּהֶם בַּמַּיִם יוּבָא וְטָמֵא עַד־הָעֶרֶב וְטָהֵֽר׃

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

וְכׇל־כְּלִי־חֶרֶשׂ אֲשֶׁר־יִפֹּל מֵהֶם אֶל־תּוֹכוֹ כֹּל אֲשֶׁר בְּתוֹכוֹ יִטְמָא וְאֹתוֹ תִשְׁבֹּֽרוּ׃

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.

מִכׇּל־הָאֹכֶל אֲשֶׁר יֵאָכֵל אֲשֶׁר יָבוֹא עָלָיו מַיִם יִטְמָא וְכׇל־מַשְׁקֶה אֲשֶׁר יִשָּׁתֶה בְּכׇל־כְּלִי יִטְמָֽא׃

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.

וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר־יִפֹּל מִנִּבְלָתָם ׀ עָלָיו יִטְמָא תַּנּוּר וְכִירַיִם יֻתָּץ טְמֵאִים הֵם וּטְמֵאִים יִהְיוּ לָכֶֽם׃

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.

אַךְ מַעְיָן וּבוֹר מִקְוֵה־מַיִם יִהְיֶה טָהוֹר וְנֹגֵעַ בְּנִבְלָתָם יִטְמָֽא׃

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

וְכִי יִפֹּל מִנִּבְלָתָם עַל־כׇּל־זֶרַע זֵרוּעַ אֲשֶׁר יִזָּרֵעַ טָהוֹר הֽוּא׃

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

וְכִי יֻתַּן־מַיִם עַל־זֶרַע וְנָפַל מִנִּבְלָתָם עָלָיו טָמֵא הוּא לָכֶֽם׃

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

וְכִי יָמוּת מִן־הַבְּהֵמָה אֲשֶׁר־הִיא לָכֶם לְאׇכְלָה הַנֹּגֵעַ בְּנִבְלָתָהּ יִטְמָא עַד־הָעָֽרֶב׃

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.

וְהָֽאֹכֵל מִנִּבְלָתָהּ יְכַבֵּס בְּגָדָיו וְטָמֵא עַד־הָעָרֶב וְהַנֹּשֵׂא אֶת־נִבְלָתָהּ יְכַבֵּס בְּגָדָיו וְטָמֵא עַד־הָעָֽרֶב׃

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

וְכׇל־הַשֶּׁרֶץ הַשֹּׁרֵץ עַל־הָאָרֶץ שֶׁקֶץ הוּא לֹא יֵאָכֵֽל׃

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.

כֹּל הוֹלֵךְ עַל־גָּח וֹ ן וְכֹל ׀ הוֹלֵךְ עַל־אַרְבַּע עַד כׇּל־מַרְבֵּה רַגְלַיִם לְכׇל־הַשֶּׁרֶץ הַשֹּׁרֵץ עַל־הָאָרֶץ לֹא תֹאכְלוּם כִּי־שֶׁקֶץ הֵֽם׃

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.

אַל־תְּשַׁקְּצוּ אֶת־נַפְשֹׁתֵיכֶם בְּכׇל־הַשֶּׁרֶץ הַשֹּׁרֵץ וְלֹא תִֽטַּמְּאוּ בָּהֶם וְנִטְמֵתֶם בָּֽם׃

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.

כִּי אֲנִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם וְהִתְקַדִּשְׁתֶּם וִהְיִיתֶם קְדֹשִׁים כִּי קָדוֹשׁ אָנִי וְלֹא תְטַמְּאוּ אֶת־נַפְשֹׁתֵיכֶם בְּכׇל־הַשֶּׁרֶץ הָרֹמֵשׂ עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

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.

כִּי ׀ אֲנִי יְהֹוָה הַֽמַּעֲלֶה אֶתְכֶם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם לִהְיֹת לָכֶם לֵאלֹהִים וִהְיִיתֶם קְדֹשִׁים כִּי קָדוֹשׁ אָֽנִי׃

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;

זֹאת תּוֹרַת הַבְּהֵמָה וְהָעוֹף וְכֹל נֶפֶשׁ הַֽחַיָּה הָרֹמֶשֶׂת בַּמָּיִם וּלְכׇל־נֶפֶשׁ הַשֹּׁרֶצֶת עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

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.

לְהַבְדִּיל בֵּין הַטָּמֵא וּבֵין הַטָּהֹר וּבֵין הַֽחַיָּה הַֽנֶּאֱכֶלֶת וּבֵין הַֽחַיָּה אֲשֶׁר לֹא תֵאָכֵֽל׃
