Leviticus 11

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

And Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying unto them:

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These [are] the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that [are] on the earth.

Speak ye unto the sons of Israel saying, —These are the living things which ye may eat, of all the beasts which are upon the earth:

3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, [and] cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.

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

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

Nevertheless, these, shall ye not eat, of them that chew the cud, and of them that part the hoof, —the camel, because though he, cheweth the cud, yet, the hoof, he parteth not, unclean, he is to you;

5 And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean unto you.

And, the coney, because, though he cheweth the cud, yet, the hoof, he parteth not, —unclean, he is to you;

6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean unto you.

And the hare, because though she cheweth the cud, yet the hoof, she parteth not, —unclean, she is to you;

7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he [is] unclean to you.

And, the swine, because though he parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, yet, the cud, he cheweth not, —unclean, he is to you;

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

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

9 These shall 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 shall ye eat.

these, may ye eat, of all that are in the waters, —all that have 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 unto you:

But, 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 souls that are in the waters, an abomination, they are unto you;

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

and an abomination, shall they remain to you, —of their flesh, ye shall not eat, and their carcases, shall ye abhor.

12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that [shall be] an abomination unto you.

Whatsoever hath not fins and scales in the waters, an abomination, it is unto you.

13 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,

And, these, shall ye abhor of birds, they shall not be eaten, an abomination, they are, —the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey;

14 And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;

and the vulture, and the falcon, after its kind;

15 Every raven after his kind;

every raven, after its kind;

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

and the female ostrich, and the male ostrich, and the sea-gull, —and the hawk after its kind;

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

and the pelican and the gannet, and the bittern;

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

and the swan and the vomiting pelican and the little vulture;

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

and the stork, and the parrot, after its kind, —and the mountain-cock and the bat.

20 All fowls that creep, going upon [all] four, [shall be] an abomination unto you.

Every creeping thing that flieth, that goeth on all-fours, an abomination, it is unto you.

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

Nevertheless, these, may ye eat, of all creeping things that fly, that go on all-fours, —such as have legs above their feet, to leap therewith, upon the earth—

22 [Even] these of them ye 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.

these of them, may ye eat: the swarming-locust after its kind, and the devouring locust after its kind, —and the chargol-locust after its kind, and the chagab-locust after its kind.

23 But all [other] flying creeping things, which have four feet, [shall be] an abomination unto you.

But every [other] creeping thing that flieth, which hath four feet, an abomination, it is unto you;

24 And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.

and, for these, shall ye count yourselves unclean—whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the evening;

25 And whosoever beareth [ought] of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

and whosoever beareth away aught of the carcase of them, shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.

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

As for every kind of beast which, though it parteth the hoof, yet is not cloven-footed nor cheweth the cud, unclean, they are unto you, —every one who toucheth them shall be unclean.

27 And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on [all] four, those [are] unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.

And, all that go upon their paws, among all the living things that go on all-fours, unclean, they are unto you, —whoso toucheth the carcase of them, shall be unclean until the evening.

28 And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they [are] unclean unto you.

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

29 These also [shall be] unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind,

And, these, unto you, shall be unclean, among the creeping things that creep upon the earth, —the weasel and the mouse, and the lizard after its kind;

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

and the ferret and the chameleon and the wall-lizard, —and the winding lizard, and the mole.

31 These [are] unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.

These, are they which are unclean to you among all that creep, —whosoever toucheth 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], 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, everything whereon any of them shall fall when they are dead shall be unclean—of any articles of wood, or cloth, or skin, or sackcloth, any article wherewith any work is done, —shall be put in water and shall be unclean until the evening, and then be clean,

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

And, as for any earthen vessel whereinto any of them may fall, everything therein shall be unclean, and, the vessel itself, shall ye break in pieces.

34 Of all meat 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.

Of all the food that may be eaten, that whereon shall come water, shall be unclean, —and, all drink which might be drunk in any [such] vessel, shall be unclean.

35 And every [thing] whereupon [any part] of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; [whether it be] oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: [for] they [are] unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.

And, everything whereon shall fall any part of the carcase of them shall be unclean, oven or fire-range, it shall be destroyed, unclean, they are, —and, unclean, Shall they remain to you.

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

Notwithstanding, a fountain or cistern wherein is a gathering of waters shall be clean, —but, he that toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean.

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

And when any part of the carcase of them shall fall upon seed for sowing, which is to be sown, the same is, clean.

38 But if [any] water be put upon the seed, and [any part] of their carcase fall thereon, it [shall be] unclean unto you.

But, when water shall be put upon seed, and there shall fall thereon any part of the carcase of them, unclean, it is to you.

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

And, when any of the beasts which are yours for food shall die, he that toucheth the carcase of it shall be unclean until the evening.

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

And, he that eateth of the carcase of it, shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening, —he also that carrieth away the carcase thereof shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

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

And, any creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, an abomination, it is—it shall not be eaten.

42 Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon [all] four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they [are] an abomination.

Everything that goeth upon the belly, and everything that goeth upon all-fours, even to everything having many feet, as regardeth any creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, ye shall not eat them for, an abomination, they are.

43 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 thereby.

Do not make your persons abominable, with any creeping thing that creepeth, —neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should become unclean thereby.

44 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.

For, I—Yahweh, am your God, therefore shall ye hallow yourselves and remain holy; for, holy, am, I,—therefore shall ye not make your persons unclean, with any creeping thing that crawleth upon the earth;

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

for, I—Yahweh, am he that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, that I might become your God, —therefore shall ye be holy, for, holy, am, I.

46 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:

This, is the law of beast and of bird, and of every living soul that moveth in the waters, —and as to every soul that creepeth 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.

That ye may make a difference—between the unclean and the clean, —and between the living thing that may be eaten, and the living thing which may not be eaten.
