And the LORD spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them:
2 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which you shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
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.
3 Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven footed, and chews the cud, among the beasts, that shall you eat.
Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is wholly cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.
4 Nevertheless these shall you not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he chews the cud, but divides not the hoof; he is unclean to you.
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.
5 And the coney, because he chews the cud, but divides not the hoof; he is unclean to you.
And the rock-badger, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.
6 And the hare, because he chews the cud, but divides not the hoof; he is unclean to you.
And the hare, because she cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, she is unclean unto you.
7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven footed, yet he chews not the cud; he is unclean to you.

8 Of their flesh shall you not eat, and their carcass shall you not touch; they are unclean to you.
Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch; they are unclean unto you.
9 These shall you eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall you eat.
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.
10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination to you:
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,
11 They shall be even an abomination to you; you shall not eat of their flesh, but you shall have their carcasses in abomination.
and they shall be a detestable thing unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses ye shall have in detestation.
12 Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination to you.
Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that is a detestable thing unto you.
13 And these are they which you shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
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;
14 And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
and the kite, and the falcon after its kinds;
15 Every raven after his kind;
every raven after its kinds;

and the horned owl, and the pelican, and the carrion-vulture;
19 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
and the stork, and the heron after its kinds, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
20 All fowls that creep, going on all four, shall be an abomination to you.
All winged swarming things that go upon all fours are a detestable thing unto you.
21 Yet these may you eat of every flying creeping thing that goes on all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap with on the earth;
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;
22 Even these of them you may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.
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.
23 But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination to you.

And he that beareth the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even; they are unclean unto you.
29 These also shall be unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind,
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,
30 And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.
and the gecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon.
31 These are unclean to you among all that creep: whoever does touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
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.
32 And on whatever any of them, when they are dead, does fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed.
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 every earthen vessel whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean, and it ye shall break.
34 Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water comes shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.
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.

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 swarming thing that swarmeth upon the earth is a detestable thing; it shall not be eaten.
42 Whatever goes on the belly, and whatever goes on all four, or whatever has more feet among all creeping things that creep on the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
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.
43 You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps, neither shall you make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled thereby.
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.
44 For I am the LORD your God: you shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall you defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creeps on the earth.
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.
45 For I am the LORD that brings you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: you shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

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;
47 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.
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.
