3 You may eat any animal that has a split hoof and that also chews the cud.
凡走獸中偶蹄，有趾及反芻的，你們都可以吃。
4 However, some animals either chew the cud or have a split hoof, and you must not eat them, animals such as the camel, because it chews the cud but does not have a split hoof. So the camel is unclean to you.
但在反芻或有偶蹄的走獸中，你們不可吃的是駱駝，因為駱駝雖反芻，但偶蹄無趾，對你們仍是潔的；
5 Also the rock badger, because it chews the cud but does not have a split hoof, it is also unclean to you.
岩貍，牠雖反芻，但偶蹄無趾，對你們仍是不潔的；

但凡在水中蠕動，和在水中生存的生物，若沒有鰭和鱗，不論是海裡的，或河裡的，都是你們所當憎惡的。

44 For I am Yahweh your God. You are to keep yourselves holy, therefore, and be holy, because I am holy. You must not defile yourselves with any kind of animal that moves about on the ground.
因為我上主是你們的天主：你們該表現為聖潔的，你們應是聖的，因為我是聖的。你們不要因地上任何爬蟲，而使自己成為不潔的，
45 For I am Yahweh, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You must therefore be holy, for I am holy.
因為是我上主領你們由埃及地上來，為作你們的天主：你們應是聖的，因為我是聖的。
46 This is the law regarding the animals, the birds, every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the ground,
以上是有關走獸飛禽，一切水中游行和地上一切爬行動物的法律，
47 for which a distinction is to be made between the unclean and the clean, and between the living things that may be eaten and the living things that may not be eaten.'”
以便分辨潔與不潔，可吃與不可吃的生物。
