Leviticus 11

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,

And the Lord spak to Moises and Aaron, and seide,

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:

Seie ye to the sones of Israel, Kepe ye alle thingis whiche Y wroot to you, that Y be youre God. These ben the beestis, whiche ye schulen ete, of alle lyuynge beestis of erthe;

3 any dividing a hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hooves, bringing up the cud, among the beasts—you eat it.

ye schulen ete `al thing among beestis that hath a clee departid, and chewith code;

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;

sotheli what euer thing chewith code, and hath a clee, but departith not it, as a camel and othere beestis doon, ye schulen not ete it, and ye schulen arette among vnclene thingis.

5 and the hyrax, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof is not divided—it [is] unclean to you;

A cirogrille, which chewith code, and departith not the clee, is vnclene; and an hare,

6 and the hare, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof has not divided—it [is] unclean to you;

for also he chewith code, but departith not the clee;

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 a swiyn, that chewith not code, thouy he departith the clee.

8 You do not eat of their flesh, and you do not come against their carcass—they [are] unclean to you.

Ye schulen not ete the fleischis of these, nether ye schulen touche the deed bodies, for tho ben vnclene 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;

Also these thingis ben that ben gendrid in watris, and is leueful to ete;

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;

ye schulen ete al thing that hath fynnes and scalis, as wel in the see, as in floodis and stondynge watris; sotheli what euer thing of tho that ben moued and lyuen in watris, hath not fynnes and scalis, schal be abhominable, and wlatsum to you;

11 indeed, they are an abomination to you; you do not eat of their flesh, and you detest their carcass.

ye schulen not ete the fleischis of tho, and ye schulen eschewe the bodies deed bi hem silf.

12 Anything that does not have fins and scales in the waters—it [is] an abomination to you.

Alle thingis in watris that han not fynnes and scalis, schulen be pollutid,

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,

These thingis ben of foulis whiche ye schulen not ete, and schulen be eschewid of you; an egle, and a grippe, aliete, and a kyte, and a vultur by his kynde;

14 and the kite, and the falcon after its kind,

and al of `rauyns kynde bi his licnesse;

15 every raven after its kind,

a strucioun,

16 and the ostrich, and the nightjar [[or male ostrich]], and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind,

and nyyt crowe, a lare, and an hauke bi his kinde;

17 and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,

an owle, and dippere, and ibis;

18 and the waterhen, and the pelican, and the Egyptian vulture,

a swan and cormoraunt, and a pellican;

19 and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

a fawcun, a iay bi his kynde; a leepwynke, and a reremows.

20 Every teeming creature which is flying, which is going on four [legs]—it [is] an abomination to you.

Al thing of foulis that goith on foure feet, schal be abhomynable 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;

sotheli what euer thing goith on foure feet, but hath lengere hipis bihynde, bi whiche it skippith on the erthe, ye schulen ete;

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;

as is a bruke in his kynde, and acatus, and opymacus, and a locuste, alle bi her kynde.

23 and every teeming thing which is flying, which has four feet—it [is] an abomination to you.

Forsothe what euer thing of briddis hath foure feet oneli, it schal be abhomynable to you;

24 And you are made unclean by these; anyone who is coming against their carcass is unclean until the evening;

and who euer touchith her bodies deed bi hem silf, schal be defoulid, and `schal be vnclene `til to euentid;

25 and anyone who is lifting up of their carcass washes his garments, and has been unclean until the evening—

and if it is nede, that he bere ony deed thing of these, he schal waische his clothis, and he schal be vnclene til to the goyng doun of the sunne.

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.

Sotheli ech beeste that hath a clee, but departith not it, nether chewith code, schal be vnclene; and what euer thing touchith it, schal be defoulid.

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;

That that goith on hondis, of alle beestis that gon on foure feet, schal be vnclene; he, that touchith her bodies deed bi hem silf, schal be defoulid `til to euentid;

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 berith siche deed bodies, schal waische hise clothis, and he schal be vnclene `til to euentid; for alle these thingis ben vnclene 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,

Also these thingis schulen be arettid among defoulid thingis, of these that ben moued on erthe; a wesele, and mows, and a cocodrille, `alle bi her kynde;

30 and the gecko [[or ferret]], and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole;

mygal, camelion, and stellio, and lacerta, and a maldewerp.

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.

Alle these ben vnclene; he that touchith her bodies deed bi hem silf, schal be vnclene `til to euentid;

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 that thing schal be defoulid, on which ony thing of her bodies deed bi hem silf fallith, as wel a vessel of tree, and a cloth, as skynnes `and heiris; and in what euer thing werk is maad, it schal be dippid in watir, and tho thingis schulen be defoulid `til to euentid, and so aftirward tho schulen be clensid.

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.

Sotheli a vessel of erthe, in which ony thing of these fallith with ynne, schal be defoulid, and therfor it schal be brokun.

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;

Ech mete, which ye schulen ete, schal be vnclene, if water is sched thereon; and ech fletynge thing, which is drunkun of ech vessel, `where ynne vnclene thingis bifelden, schal be vnclene;

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 what euer thing of siche deed bodies bi hem silf felde theronne, it schal be vnclene, whether furneisis, ethir vessels of thre feet, tho schulen be destried, and schulen be vnclene.

36 Only, a fountain or pit, a collection of water, is clean, but that which is coming against their carcass is unclean;

Sotheli wellis and cisternes, and al the congregacioun of watris, schal be clene. He that touchith her bodi deed bi it silf, schal be defoulid.

37 and when [any] of their carcass falls on any sown seed which is sown—it [is] clean;

If it fallith on seed, it schal not defoule the seed;

38 and when water is put on the seed, and [any] of its carcass has fallen on it—it [is] unclean to you.

sotheli if ony man schedith seed with watir, and aftirward the watir is touchid with deed bodies bi hem silf, it schal be defoulid anoon.

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;

If a beeste is deed, which it is leueful to you to ete, he that touchith the deed bodi therof schal be vnclene `til to euentid; and he that etith therof ony thing,

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.

ethir berith, schal waische his clothis, and schal be vnclene `til to euentid.

41 And every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth is an abomination, it is not eaten;

Al thing that crepith on erthe, schal be abhomynable, nether schal be takun in to mete.

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;

`What euer thing goith on the brest and foure feet, and hath many feet, ethir drawun bi the erthe, ye schulen not ete, for it is abhomynable.

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.

Nyle ye defoule youre soulis, nether touche ye ony thing of tho, lest ye ben vnclene;

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 Y am youre Lord God; be ye hooli, for Y am hooli. Defoule ye not youre soulis in ech crepynge `beeste which is moued on erthe; for Y am the Lord,

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.

that ladde you out of the lond of Egipt, that Y schulde be to you in to God; ye schulen be hooli, for Y am hooli.

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 lawe of lyuynge beestes, and of foulis, and of ech lyuynge soule which is moued in watir, and crepith in erthe;

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 knowe differences of clene thing and vnclene, and that ye wite what ye schulen ete, and what ye owen forsake.
