Leviticus 11
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them:
2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, This [is] the beast which you eat out of all the beasts which [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 any dividing a hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hooves, bringing up the cud, among the beasts—you eat it.
Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is wholly cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.
4 Only, this you 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 is not dividing—it [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 hyrax, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof is not divided—it [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, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof has not divided—it [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 sow, though it is dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hoof, yet it does not bring up the cud—it [is] unclean to you.
And the swine, because he parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you.
8 You do not eat of their flesh, and you do not come against their carcass—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 This you eat of all which [are] in the waters: anything that has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the brooks, them 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 anything that does not have fins and scales in the seas, and in the brooks, of any teeming creature of the waters, and of any creature which lives, which [is] in the waters—they [are] 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 indeed, they are an abomination to you; you do not eat of their flesh, and you detest their carcass.
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 Anything that does not have fins and scales in the waters—it [is] an abomination to you.
Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that is a detestable thing unto you.
13 And these you detest of the bird—they are not eaten, they [are] an abomination: the eagle, and the bearded vulture, and the osprey,
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 kite, and the falcon after its kind,
and the kite, and the falcon after its kinds;
15 every raven after its kind,
every raven after its kinds;
16 and the ostrich, and the nightjar [[or male ostrich]], and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind,
and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-mew, and the hawk after its kinds;
17 and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl;
18 and the waterhen, and the pelican, and the Egyptian vulture,
and the horned owl, and the pelican, and the carrion-vulture;
19 and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
and the stork, and the heron after its kinds, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
20 Every teeming creature which is flying, which is going on four [legs]—it [is] an abomination to you.
All winged swarming things that go upon all fours are a detestable thing unto you.
21 Only, this you eat of any teeming thing which is flying, which is going on four, which has legs above its feet, to move with them 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 these of them you eat: the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its 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 and every teeming thing which is flying, which has four feet—it [is] an abomination to you.
But all winged swarming things, which have four feet, are a detestable thing unto you.
24 And you are made unclean by these; anyone who is coming against their carcass is unclean until the evening;
And by these ye shall become unclean; whosoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until even.
25 and anyone who is lifting up of their carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening—
And whosoever beareth aught of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
26 even every beast which is dividing the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, and is not bringing up the cud—they [are] unclean to you; anyone who is coming against them is unclean.
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.
27 And anything going on its paws, among all the beasts which are going on four—they [are] unclean to you; anyone who is coming against their carcass is unclean until the evening;
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.
28 and he who is lifting up their carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening—they [are] unclean 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 And this [is] the unclean to you among the teeming things which are teeming on the earth: the weasel, and the muroid, and the tortoise [[or large lizard]] after its 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 gecko [[or 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] the unclean to you among all which are teeming; anyone who is coming against them in their death is unclean until the evening.
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 anything on which anyone of them falls, 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 has been unclean until the evening, then it has been clean;
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.
33 and any earthen vessel, into the midst of which [any] one of them falls, all that [is] in its midst is unclean, and you break it.
And every earthen vessel whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean, and it ye shall break.
34 Of all the food which is eaten, that on which comes [such] water, is unclean, and all drink which is drunk in any [such] vessel is 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.
35 and anything on which [any] of their carcass falls is unclean; oven or double pots, it is broken down, they [are] unclean, indeed, they are unclean to you.
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.
36 Only, a fountain or pit, a collection of water, is clean, but that which is coming against their carcass is unclean;
Nevertheless a fountain or a cistern wherein is a gathering of water shall be clean; but he who toucheth their carcass shall be unclean.
37 and when [any] of their carcass falls on any sown seed which is sown—it [is] clean;
And if aught of their carcass fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.
38 and when water is put on the seed, and [any] of its carcass has fallen on it—it [is] unclean to you.
But if water be put upon the seed, and aught of their carcass fall thereon, it is unclean unto you.
39 And when any of the beasts which are for food for you dies, he who is coming against its carcass is unclean until the evening;
And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die, he that toucheth the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the even.
40 and he who is eating of its carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening; and he who is lifting up its carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening.
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.
41 And every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth is an abomination, it is not eaten;
And every swarming thing that swarmeth upon the earth is a detestable thing; it shall not be eaten.
42 anything going on the belly, and any going on four, to every multiplier of feet, to every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth—you do not eat them, 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 do not make yourselves abominable with any teeming thing which is teeming, nor do you make yourselves unclean with them, so that you have been unclean with them.
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] your God YHWH, and you have sanctified yourselves, and you have been holy, for I [am] holy; and you do not defile your persons with any teeming thing which is creeping 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] YHWH who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt to become your God; and you have been holy, for I [am] holy.
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.
46 This [is] a law of the beasts, and of the bird, and of every living creature which is moving in the waters, and of every creature which is teeming on the earth,
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 separation between the unclean and the pure, and between the beast that is eaten, and the beast that is not 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.
