Leviticus 11
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
And Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto 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 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 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 cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud among 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 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 hyrax, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof is not divided—it [is] unclean to 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, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof has not divided—it [is] unclean to you;
And the hare, because though she cheweth the cud, yet the hoof, she parteth not, —unclean, she is 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, because though he parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, yet, the cud, he cheweth not, —unclean, he is 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 ye not eat, and, their carcase, shall ye not touch, —unclean, they are 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, 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 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;
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 indeed, they are an abomination to you; you do not eat of their flesh, and you detest their carcass.
and an abomination, shall they remain to you, —of their flesh, ye shall not eat, and their carcases, shall ye abhor.
12 Anything that does not have fins and scales in the waters—it [is] an abomination to you.
Whatsoever hath not fins and scales in the waters, an abomination, it is 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, 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 kite, and the falcon after its kind,
and the vulture, and the falcon, after its kind;
15 every raven after its kind,
every raven, after its kind;
16 and the ostrich, and the nightjar [[or male ostrich]], and the seagull, and the hawk after its 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 waterhen, and the pelican, and the Egyptian vulture,
and the swan and the vomiting pelican and the little vulture;
19 and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
and the stork, and the parrot, after its kind, —and the mountain-cock and the bat.
20 Every teeming creature which is flying, which is going on four [legs]—it [is] an abomination to you.
Every creeping thing that flieth, that goeth on all-fours, an abomination, it is 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;
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 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;
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 and every teeming thing which is flying, which has four feet—it [is] an abomination to you.
But every [other] creeping thing that flieth, which hath four feet, an abomination, it is unto you;
24 And you are made unclean by these; anyone who is coming against their carcass is unclean until the evening;
and, for these, shall ye count yourselves unclean—whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the evening;
25 and anyone who is lifting up of their carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening—
and whosoever beareth away aught of the carcase of them, shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
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.
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 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, 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 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 away the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the evening, —unclean, they are 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, 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 gecko [[or 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] 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 creep, —whosoever toucheth them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening;
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, 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 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, 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 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 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 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, 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 Only, a fountain or pit, a collection of water, is clean, but that which is coming against their carcass is 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 when [any] of their carcass falls on any sown seed which is sown—it [is] 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 and when water is put on the seed, and [any] of its carcass has fallen on it—it [is] unclean to 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 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, 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 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 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 teeming thing which is teeming on the earth is an abomination, it is not eaten;
And, any creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, an abomination, it is—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;
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 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.
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] 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—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] 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—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] 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 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 separation between the unclean and the pure, and between the beast that is eaten, and the beast that is not 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.
