Leviticus 11
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to 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 to the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which you shall 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.
Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven footed, and chews the cud, among the beasts, that shall you 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 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.
5 and the hyrax, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof is not divided—it [is] unclean to you;
And the coney, because he chews the cud, but divides not the hoof; he is unclean to 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 he chews the cud, but divides not the hoof; he is unclean to 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, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven footed, yet he chews not the cud; he is unclean to 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 shall you not eat, and their carcass shall you not touch; they are unclean to 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 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.
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 move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination to you:
11 indeed, they are an abomination to you; you do not eat of their flesh, and you detest their carcass.
They shall be even an abomination to you; you shall not eat of their flesh, but you shall have their carcasses in abomination.
12 Anything that does not have fins and scales in the waters—it [is] an abomination to you.
Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination to 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 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,
14 and the kite, and the falcon after its kind,
And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
15 every raven after its kind,
Every raven after his kind;
16 and the ostrich, and the nightjar [[or male ostrich]], and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind,
And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
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 swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
19 and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
20 Every teeming creature which is flying, which is going on four [legs]—it [is] an abomination to you.
All fowls that creep, going on all four, shall be an abomination to 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 you eat of every flying creeping thing that goes on all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap with on 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 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.
23 and every teeming thing which is flying, which has four feet—it [is] an abomination to you.
But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination to you.
24 And you are made unclean by these; anyone who is coming against their carcass is unclean until the evening;
And for these you shall be unclean: whoever touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until the even.
25 and anyone who is lifting up of their carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening—
And whoever bears any 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.
The carcasses of every beast which divides the hoof, and is not cloven footed, nor chews the cud, are unclean to you: every one that touches 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 whatever goes on his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean to you: whoever touches 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 bears the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean to 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,
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,
30 and the gecko [[or ferret]], and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole;
And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.
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 unclean to you among all that creep: whoever does touch them, when they be 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 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.
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, into where any of them falls, whatever is in it shall be unclean; and you shall break it.
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;
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.
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 falls shall be unclean; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean and shall be unclean to 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 pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which touches 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 any part of their carcass fall on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be 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 any water be put on the seed, and any part of their carcass fall thereon, it shall be unclean to 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 you may eat, die; he that touches 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 eats of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that bears 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 creeping thing that creeps on the earth shall be an abomination; 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;
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.
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.
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.
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: 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.
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 brings you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: you 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 beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on 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 beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
