Leviticus 11

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

After, the Lord spake vnto Moses and to Aaron, saying vnto them,

2 Speak you to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which you shall eat of all beasts that are upon the earth.

Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say, These are the beastes which yee shall eate, among all the beasts that are on the earth.

3 Every beast parting the hoof and making divisions of two claws, and chewing the cud among beasts, these you shall eat.

Whatsoeuer parteth the hoofe, and is clouen footed, and cheweth the cudde, among the beastes, that shall ye eate.

4 But of these you shall not eat, of those that chew the cud, and of those that part the hoofs, and divide claws; the camel, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.

But of them that chewe the cud, or deuide the hoofe onely, of them yee shall not eate: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, and deuideth not ye hoofe, he shall be vncleane vnto you.

5 And the rabbit, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.

Likewise the conie, because he cheweth the cud and deuideth not the hoofe, he shall bee vncleane to you.

6 And the hare, because it does not chew the cud, and does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.

Also the hare, because he cheweth the cud, and deuideth not the hoofe, he shalbe vncleane to you.

7 And the swine, because this [animal] divides the hoof, and makes claws of the hoof, and it does not chew the cud, is unclean to you.

And the swine, because he parteth ye hoofe and is clouen footed, but cheweth not the cud, he shalbe vncleane to you.

8 You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcases; these are unclean to you.

Of their flesh shall yee not eate, and their carkeise shall yee not touch: for they shall bee vncleane to you.

9 And these [are] what you shall eat of all that are in the waters: all things that have fins and scales in the waters, and in the seas, and in the brooks, these you shall eat.

These shall ye eate, of all that are in the waters: whatsoeuer hath finnes and skales in ye waters, in the seas, or in the riuers, them shall ye eate.

10 And all things which have not fins or scales in the water, or in the seas, and in the brooks, of all which the waters produce, and of every soul living in the water, are an abomination; and they shall be abominations to you.

But all that haue not finnes nor skales in the seas, or in the riuers, of all that moueth in the waters, and of al liuing things that are in the waters, they shalbe an abomination vnto you.

11 You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall abhor their carcases.

They, I say, shalbe an abomination to you: ye shall not eate of their flesh, but shall abhorre their carkeis.

12 And all things that have not fins or scales of those that are in the waters, these are an abomination to you.

Whatsoeuer hath not fins nor skales in the waters, that shalbe abomination vnto you.

13 And these are the things which you shall abhor of birds, and they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle.

These shall ye haue also in abomination among the foules, they shall not be eaten: for they are an abomination, the eagle, and the goshauke, and the osprey:

14 And the vulture, and the kite, and the like to it;

Also the vultur, and the kite after his kinde,

15 and the sparrow, and the owl, and the cormorant, and the like to it:

And all rauens after their kinde:

16 and every raven, and the birds like it, and the hawk and his like,

The ostrich also, and the night crowe, and the seameaw, and the hauke after his kinde:

17 and the night-raven and the cormorant and the stork,

The litle owle also, and the connorant, and the great owle.

18 and the red-bill, and the pelican, and swan,

Also the redshanke and the pelicane, and the swanne:

19 and the heron, and the lapwing, and the like to it, and the hoopoe and the bat.

The storke also, the heron after his kinde, and the lapwing, and the backe:

20 And all winged creatures that creep, which go upon four feet, are abominations to you.

Also euery foule that creepeth and goeth vpon all foure, such shalbe an abomination vnto you.

21 But these you shall eat of the creeping winged animals, which go upon four feet, which have legs above their feet, to leap with on the earth.

Yet these shall ye eate: of euery foule that creepeth, and goeth vpon all foure which haue their feete and legs all of one to leape withal vpon the earth,

22 And these of them you shall eat: the caterpillar and his like, and the attacus and his like, and the cantharus and his like, and the locust and his like.

Of them ye shall eate these, the grashopper after his kinde, and the solean after his kinde, the hargol after his kinde, and the hagab after his kind.

23 Every creeping thing from among the birds, which has four feet, is an abomination to you.

But al other foules that creepe and haue foure feete, they shalbe abomination vnto you.

24 And by these you shall be defiled; every one that touches their carcases shall be unclean till the evening.

For by such ye shalbe polluted: whosoeuer toucheth their carkeis, shalbe vncleane vnto the euening.

25 And every one that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean till the evening.

Whosoeuer also beareth of their carkeis, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntil euen.

26 And whichever among the beasts divides the hoof and makes claws, and does not chew the cud, shall be unclean to you; every one that touches their dead bodies shall be unclean till evening.

Euery beast that hath clawes deuided, and is not clouen footed, nor cheweth the cud, such shalbe vncleane vnto you: euery one that toucheth them, shalbe vncleane.

27 And every one among all the wild beasts that moves upon its fore feet, which goes on all four, is unclean to you; every one that touches their dead bodies shall be unclean till evening.

And whatsoeuer goeth vpon his pawes among all maner beastes that goeth on all foure, such shalbe vncleane vnto you: who so doth touch their carkeis shalbe vncleane vntil the euen.

28 And he that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean till evening: these are unclean to you.

And he that beareth their carkeis, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntill the euen: for such shalbe vncleane vnto you.

29 And these [are] unclean to you of reptiles upon the earth, the weasel, and the mouse, and the lizard,

Also these shalbe vncleane to you amog the things that creepe and moue vpon the earth, the weasell, and the mouse, and the frog, after his kinde:

30 the ferret, and the chameleon, and the evet, and the newt, and the mole.

Also the rat, and the lizard, and the chameleon, and the stellio, and the molle.

31 These are unclean to you of all the reptiles which are on the earth; every one who touches their carcases shall be unclean till evening.

These shall be vncleane to you among all that creepe: whosoeuer doeth touch them when they be dead, shalbe vncleane vntil the euen.

32 And on whatever one of their dead bodies shall fall it shall be unclean; whatever wooden vessel, or garment, or skin, or sack it may be, every vessel in which work should be done, shall be dipped in water, and shall be unclean till evening; and [then] it shall be clean.

Also whatsoeuer any of the dead carkeises of them doth fall vpon, shalbe vncleane, whether it be vessel of wood, or rayment, or skinne, or sacke: whatsoeuer vessel it be that is occupied, it shalbe put in the water as vncleane vntil the euen, and so be purified.

33 And every earthen vessel into which one of these things shall fall, whatever is inside it, shall be unclean, and it shall be broken.

But euery earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoeuer is within it shalbe vncleane, and ye shall breake it.

34 And all food that is eaten, on which water shall come [from such a vessel], shall be unclean; and every beverage which is drunk in any [such] vessel, shall be unclean.

Al meate also that shalbe eaten, if any such water come vpon it, shalbe vncleane: and all drinke that shalbe drunke in al such vessels shalbe vncleane.

35 And every thing on which there shall fall of their dead bodies shall be unclean; ovens and stands for jars shall be broken down: these are unclean, and they shall be unclean to you.

And euery thing that their carkeis fall vpon, shalbe vncleane: the fornais or the pot shalbe broken: for they are vncleane, and shalbe vncleane vnto you.

36 Only [if the water be] of fountains of water, or a pool, or confluence of water, it shall be clean; but he that touches their carcases shall be unclean.

Yet the fountaines and welles where there is plentie of water shalbe cleane: but that which toucheth their carkeises shalbe vncleane.

37 And if one of their carcases should fall upon any sowing seed which shall be sown, it shall be clean.

And if there fal of their dead carkeis vpon any seede, which vseth to be sowe, it shalbe cleane.

38 But if water be poured on any seed, and one of their dead bodies fall upon it, it is unclean to you.

But if any water be powred vpon ye seede, and there fal of their dead carkeis thereon, it shall be vncleane vnto you.

39 And if one of the cattle die, which it is lawful for you to eat, he that touches their carcases shall be unclean till evening.

If also any beast, whereof ye may eate, die, he that toucheth the carkeis thereof shall be vncleane vntil the euen.

40 And he that eats of their carcases shall wash his garments, and be unclean till evening; and he that carries any of their carcases shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean till evening.

And he that eateth of the carkeis of it, shall wash his clothes and be vncleane vntil the euen: he also that beareth the carkeis of it, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntil the euen.

41 And every reptile that creeps on the earth, this shall be an abomination to you; it shall not be eaten.

Euery creeping thing therefore that creepeth vpon the earth shalbe an abomination, and not be eaten.

42 And every [animal] that creeps on its belly, and every one that goes on four [feet] continually, which abounds with feet among all the reptiles creeping upon the earth—you shall not eat it, for it is an abomination to you.

Whatsoeuer goeth vpon the breast, and whatsoeuer goeth vpon al foure, or that hath many feete among all creeping thinges that creepe vpon the earth, ye shall not eate of them, for they shalbe abomination.

43 And you shall not defile your souls with any of the reptiles that creep upon the earth, and you shall not be polluted with them, and you shall not be unclean by them.

Ye shall not pollute your selues with any thing that creepeth, neither make your selues vncleane with them, neither defile your selues thereby: ye shall not, I say, be defiled by them,

44 For I am the Lord your God; and you shall be sanctified, and you shall be holy, because I the Lord your God am holy; and you shall not defile your souls with any of the reptiles creeping upon the earth.

For I am the Lord your God: be sanctified therefore, and be holy, for I am holy, and defile not your selues with any creeping thing, that creepeth vpon the earth.

45 For I am the Lord who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God; and you shall be holy, for I the Lord am holy.

For I am the Lord that brought you out of the lande of Egypt, to be your God, and that you should be holy, for I am holy.

46 This is the law concerning beasts and birds and every living creature moving in the water, and every living creature creeping on the earth;

This is the law of beasts, and of foules, and of euery liuing thing that moueth in the waters, and of euery thing that creepeth vpon the earth:

47 to distinguish between the unclean and the clean; and between those that bring forth alive, such as should be eaten, and those that bring forth alive, such as should not be eaten.

That there may be a difference betweene the vncleane and cleane, and betweene the beast that may be eaten, and the beast that ought not to be eaten.
