Leviticus 11
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying unto 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.
'Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, This [is] the beast which ye do eat out of all the beasts which [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.
any dividing a hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hoofs, bringing up the cud, among the beasts, it ye do eat.
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.
'Only, this ye do not eat — of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the hoof — the camel, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof not dividing — it [is] unclean to you;
5 And the rabbit, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.
and the rabbit, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof it divideth not — unclean it [is] to you;
6 And the hare, because it does not chew the cud, and does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.
and the hare, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof hath not divided — unclean it [is] 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 sow, though it is dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hoof, yet the cud it bringeth not up — unclean it [is] 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 ye do not eat, and against their carcase ye do not come — unclean they [are] 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.
'This ye do eat of all which [are] in the waters; any one that hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the brooks, them ye do eat;
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.
and any one that hath not fins and scales in the seas, and in the brooks, of any teeming creature of the waters, and of any creature which liveth, which [is] in the waters — an abomination they [are] to you;
11 You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall abhor their carcases.
yea, an abomination they are to you; of their flesh ye do not eat, and their carcase ye abominate.
12 And all things that have not fins or scales of those that are in the waters, these are an abomination to you.
'Any one that hath not fins and scales in the waters — an abomination it [is] to 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.
'And these ye do abominate of the fowl; they are not eaten, an abomination they [are]: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
14 And the vulture, and the kite, and the like to it;
and the vulture, and the kite after its kind,
15 and the sparrow, and the owl, and the cormorant, and the like to it:
every raven after its kind,
16 and every raven, and the birds like it, and the hawk and his like,
and the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after its kind,
17 and the night-raven and the cormorant and the stork,
and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
18 and the red-bill, and the pelican, and swan,
and the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
19 and the heron, and the lapwing, and the like to it, and the hoopoe and the bat.
and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
20 And all winged creatures that creep, which go upon four feet, are abominations to you.
'Every teeming creature which is flying, which is going on four — an abomination it [is] to 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.
'Only — this ye do eat of any teeming thing which is flying, which is going on four, which hath legs above its feet, to move with them on 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.
these of them ye do 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 Every creeping thing from among the birds, which has four feet, is an abomination to you.
and every teeming thing which is flying, which hath four feet — an abomination it [is] to you.
24 And by these you shall be defiled; every one that touches their carcases shall be unclean till the evening.
'And by these ye are made unclean, any one who is coming against their carcase is unclean till the evening;
25 And every one that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean till the evening.
and anyone who is lifting up [aught] of their carcase doth wash his garments, and hath been unclean till the evening: —
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.
even every beast which is dividing the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, and the cud is not bringing up — unclean they [are] to you; any one who is coming against them is unclean.
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 any one going on its paws, among all the beasts which are going on four — unclean they [are] to you; any one who is coming against their carcase is unclean until the evening;
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 who is lifting up their carcase doth wash his garments, and hath been unclean until the evening — unclean they [are] to you.
29 And these [are] unclean to you of reptiles upon the earth, the weasel, and the mouse, and the lizard,
'And this [is] to you the unclean among the teeming things which are teeming on the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after its kind,
30 the ferret, and the chameleon, and the evet, and the newt, and the mole.
and the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole;
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 [are] the unclean to you among all which are teeming; any one who is coming against them in their death is unclean till the evening.
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.
'And anything on which any one of them falleth, in their death, is unclean, of any vessel of wood or garment or skin or sack, any vessel in which work is done is brought into water, and hath been unclean till the evening, then it hath been clean;
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.
and any earthen vessel, into the midst of which [any] one of them falleth, all that [is] in its midst is unclean, and it ye do break.
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.
'Of all the food which is eaten, that on which cometh [such] water, is unclean, and all drink which is drunk in any [such] vessel is unclean;
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 anything on which [any] of their carcase falleth is unclean (oven or double pots), it is broken down, unclean they [are], yea, unclean they are to 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.
'Only — a fountain or pit, a collection of water, is clean, but that which is coming against their carcase is unclean;
37 And if one of their carcases should fall upon any sowing seed which shall be sown, it shall be clean.
and when [any] of their carcase falleth on any sown seed which is sown — it [is] clean;
38 But if water be poured on any seed, and one of their dead bodies fall upon it, it is unclean to you.
and when water is put on the seed, and [any] of its carcase hath fallen on it — unclean it [is] to 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.
'And when any of the beasts which are to you for food dieth, he who is coming against its carcase is unclean till the evening;
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 who is eating of its carcase doth wash his garments, and hath been unclean till the evening; and he who is lifting up its carcase doth wash his garments, and hath been unclean till the evening.
41 And every reptile that creeps on the earth, this shall be an abomination to you; it shall not be eaten.
'And every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth is an abomination, it is not 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.
any thing going on the belly, and any going on four, unto every multiplier of feet, to every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth — ye do not eat them, for they [are] an 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 do not make yourselves abominable with any teeming thing which is teeming, nor do ye make yourselves unclean with them, so that ye have been unclean thereby.
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] Jehovah your God, and ye have sanctified yourselves, and ye have been holy, for I [am] holy; and ye do not defile your persons with any teeming thing which is creeping on 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] Jehovah who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt to become your God; and ye have been 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] a law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature which is moving in the waters, and of every creature which is teeming on 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.
to make separation between the unclean and the pure, and between the beast that is eaten, and the beast that is not eaten.'
