Dicite filiis Israel: Haec sunt animalia quae comedere debetis de cunctis animantibus terrae:

Quidquid autem ruminat quidem, et habet ungulam, sed non dividit eam, sicut camelus et cetera, non comedetis illud, et inter immunda reputabitis.

Choerogryllus qui ruminat, ungulamque non dividit, immundus est.

et super quod ceciderit quidquam de morticinis eorum, polluetur tam vas ligneum et vestimentum, quam pelles et cilicia: et in quocumque fit opus, tingentur aqua, et polluta erunt usque ad vesperum, et sic postea mundabuntur.

ut differentias noveritis mundi, et immundi, et sciatis quid comedere et quid respuere debeatis.
