ויקרא 11
| וַיְדַבֵּר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה וְאֶֽל־אַהֲרֹן לֵאמֹר אֲלֵהֶֽם׃ | 1 |
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
| דַּבְּרוּ אֶל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר זֹאת הַֽחַיָּה אֲשֶׁר תֹּאכְלוּ מִכׇּל־הַבְּהֵמָה אֲשֶׁר עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 2 |
Say to the children of Israel: These are the living things which you may have for food among all the beasts on the earth.
| כֹּל ׀ מַפְרֶסֶת פַּרְסָה וְשֹׁסַעַת שֶׁסַע פְּרָסֹת מַעֲלַת גֵּרָה בַּבְּהֵמָה אֹתָהּ תֹּאכֵֽלוּ׃ | 3 |
You may have as food any beast which has a division in the horn of its foot, and whose food comes back into its mouth to be crushed again.
| אַךְ אֶת־זֶה לֹא תֹֽאכְלוּ מִֽמַּעֲלֵי הַגֵּרָה וּמִמַּפְרִסֵי הַפַּרְסָה אֶֽת־הַגָּמָל כִּֽי־מַעֲלֵה גֵרָה הוּא וּפַרְסָה אֵינֶנּוּ מַפְרִיס טָמֵא הוּא לָכֶֽם׃ | 4 |
But, at the same time, of those beasts, you may not take for food the camel, because its food comes back but the horn of its foot is not parted in two; it is unclean to you.
| וְאֶת־הַשָּׁפָן כִּֽי־מַעֲלֵה גֵרָה הוּא וּפַרְסָה לֹא יַפְרִיס טָמֵא הוּא לָכֶֽם׃ | 5 |
And the rock-badger, for the same reason, is unclean to you.
| וְאֶת־הָאַרְנֶבֶת כִּֽי־מַעֲלַת גֵּרָה הִוא וּפַרְסָה לֹא הִפְרִיסָה טְמֵאָה הִוא לָכֶֽם׃ | 6 |
And the hare, because the horn of its foot is not parted in two, is unclean to you.
| וְאֶת־הַחֲזִיר כִּֽי־מַפְרִיס פַּרְסָה הוּא וְשֹׁסַע שֶׁסַע פַּרְסָה וְהוּא גֵּרָה לֹֽא־יִגָּר טָמֵא הוּא לָכֶֽם׃ | 7 |
And the pig is unclean to you, because though the horn of its foot is parted, its food does not come back.
| מִבְּשָׂרָם לֹא תֹאכֵלוּ וּבְנִבְלָתָם לֹא תִגָּעוּ טְמֵאִים הֵם לָכֶֽם׃ | 8 |
Their flesh may not be used for food, and their dead bodies may not even be touched; they are unclean to you.
| אֶת־זֶה תֹּֽאכְלוּ מִכֹּל אֲשֶׁר בַּמָּיִם כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ סְנַפִּיר וְקַשְׂקֶשֶׂת בַּמַּיִם בַּיַּמִּים וּבַנְּחָלִים אֹתָם תֹּאכֵֽלוּ׃ | 9 |
These you may have for food of all things living in the water: anything living in the water, in the seas or rivers, which has special parts for swimming and skin formed of thin plates, may be used for food.
| וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר אֵֽין־לוֹ סְנַפִּיר וְקַשְׂקֶשֶׂת בַּיַּמִּים וּבַנְּחָלִים מִכֹּל שֶׁרֶץ הַמַּיִם וּמִכֹּל נֶפֶשׁ הַחַיָּה אֲשֶׁר בַּמָּיִם שֶׁקֶץ הֵם לָכֶֽם׃ | 10 |
All other things living and moving in the water, in the sea or in the rivers, are a disgusting thing to you;
| וְשֶׁקֶץ יִהְיוּ לָכֶם מִבְּשָׂרָם לֹא תֹאכֵלוּ וְאֶת־נִבְלָתָם תְּשַׁקֵּֽצוּ׃ | 11 |
They may not be used for food, and their dead bodies are disgusting to you.
| כֹּל אֲשֶׁר אֵֽין־לוֹ סְנַפִּיר וְקַשְׂקֶשֶׂת בַּמָּיִם שֶׁקֶץ הוּא לָכֶֽם׃ | 12 |
Anything in the water which has no special parts for swimming and no thin plates on its skin is disgusting to you.
| וְאֶת־אֵלֶּה תְּשַׁקְּצוּ מִן־הָעוֹף לֹא יֵאָכְלוּ שֶׁקֶץ הֵם אֶת־הַנֶּשֶׁר וְאֶת־הַפֶּרֶס וְאֵת הָעׇזְנִיָּֽה׃ | 13 |
And among birds these are to be disgusting to you, and not to be used for food: the eagle and the gier-eagle and the ospray;
| וְאֶת־הַדָּאָה וְאֶת־הָאַיָּה לְמִינָֽהּ׃ | 14 |
And the kite and the falcon, and birds of that sort;
| אֵת כׇּל־עֹרֵב לְמִינֽוֹ׃ | 15 |
Every raven, and birds of that sort;
| וְאֵת בַּת הַֽיַּעֲנָה וְאֶת־הַתַּחְמָס וְאֶת־הַשָּׁחַף וְאֶת־הַנֵּץ לְמִינֵֽהוּ׃ | 16 |
And the ostrich and the night-hawk and the sea-hawk, and birds of that sort;
| וְאֶת־הַכּוֹס וְאֶת־הַשָּׁלָךְ וְאֶת־הַיַּנְשֽׁוּף׃ | 17 |
And the little owl and the cormorant and the great owl;
| וְאֶת־הַתִּנְשֶׁמֶת וְאֶת־הַקָּאָת וְאֶת־הָרָחָֽם׃ | 18 |
And the water-hen and the pelican and the vulture;
| וְאֵת הַחֲסִידָה הָאֲנָפָה לְמִינָהּ וְאֶת־הַדּוּכִיפַת וְאֶת־הָעֲטַלֵּֽף׃ | 19 |
The stork and the heron, and birds of that sort, and the hoopoe and the bat.
| כֹּל שֶׁרֶץ הָעוֹף הַהֹלֵךְ עַל־אַרְבַּע שֶׁקֶץ הוּא לָכֶֽם׃ | 20 |
Every winged four-footed thing which goes on the earth is disgusting to you;
| אַךְ אֶת־זֶה תֹּֽאכְלוּ מִכֹּל שֶׁרֶץ הָעוֹף הַהֹלֵךְ עַל־אַרְבַּע אֲשֶׁר־[לוֹ] (לא) כְרָעַיִם מִמַּעַל לְרַגְלָיו לְנַתֵּר בָּהֵן עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 21 |
But of the winged four-footed things, those which have long legs for jumping on the earth you may have for food;
| אֶת־אֵלֶּה מֵהֶם תֹּאכֵלוּ אֶת־הָֽאַרְבֶּה לְמִינוֹ וְאֶת־הַסׇּלְעָם לְמִינֵהוּ וְאֶת־הַחַרְגֹּל לְמִינֵהוּ וְאֶת־הֶחָגָב לְמִינֵֽהוּ׃ | 22 |
Such as all the different sorts of locust.
| וְכֹל שֶׁרֶץ הָעוֹף אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ אַרְבַּע רַגְלָיִם שֶׁקֶץ הוּא לָכֶֽם׃ | 23 |
But all other winged four-footed things which go on the earth are disgusting to you.
| וּלְאֵלֶּה תִּטַּמָּאוּ כׇּל־הַנֹּגֵעַ בְּנִבְלָתָם יִטְמָא עַד־הָעָֽרֶב׃ | 24 |
By these you will be made unclean; anyone touching their dead bodies will be unclean till evening:
| וְכׇל־הַנֹּשֵׂא מִנִּבְלָתָם יְכַבֵּס בְּגָדָיו וְטָמֵא עַד־הָעָֽרֶב׃ | 25 |
Whoever takes away the dead body of one of them is to have his clothing washed, and will be unclean till evening.
| לְֽכׇל־הַבְּהֵמָה אֲשֶׁר הִוא מַפְרֶסֶת פַּרְסָה וְשֶׁסַע ׀ אֵינֶנָּה שֹׁסַעַת וְגֵרָה אֵינֶנָּה מַעֲלָה טְמֵאִים הֵם לָכֶם כׇּל־הַנֹּגֵעַ בָּהֶם יִטְמָֽא׃ | 26 |
Every beast, in the horn of whose foot there is not a complete division, and whose food does not come back, is unclean to you: anyone touching one of these will be unclean.
| וְכֹל ׀ הוֹלֵךְ עַל־כַּפָּיו בְּכׇל־הַֽחַיָּה הַהֹלֶכֶת עַל־אַרְבַּע טְמֵאִים הֵם לָכֶם כׇּל־הַנֹּגֵעַ בְּנִבְלָתָם יִטְמָא עַד־הָעָֽרֶב׃ | 27 |
Any four-footed beast which goes on the ball of its foot, is unclean to you: anyone touching the dead body of one of these will be unclean till evening.
| וְהַנֹּשֵׂא אֶת־נִבְלָתָם יְכַבֵּס בְּגָדָיו וְטָמֵא עַד־הָעָרֶב טְמֵאִים הֵמָּה לָכֶֽם׃ | 28 |
Anyone who takes away the dead body of one of these is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening.
| וְזֶה לָכֶם הַטָּמֵא בַּשֶּׁרֶץ הַשֹּׁרֵץ עַל־הָאָרֶץ הַחֹלֶד וְהָעַכְבָּר וְהַצָּב לְמִינֵֽהוּ׃ | 29 |
And these are unclean to you among things which go low down on the earth; the weasel and the mouse and the great lizard, and animals of that sort;
| וְהָאֲנָקָה וְהַכֹּחַ וְהַלְּטָאָה וְהַחֹמֶט וְהַתִּנְשָֽׁמֶת׃ | 30 |
And the ferret and the land crocodile and the lizard and the sand-lizard and the chameleon.
| אֵלֶּה הַטְּמֵאִים לָכֶם בְּכׇל־הַשָּׁרֶץ כׇּל־הַנֹּגֵעַ בָּהֶם בְּמֹתָם יִטְמָא עַד־הָעָֽרֶב׃ | 31 |
All these are unclean to you: anyone touching them when they are dead will be unclean till evening.
| וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר־יִפֹּל־עָלָיו מֵהֶם ׀ בְּמֹתָם יִטְמָא מִכׇּל־כְּלִי־עֵץ אוֹ בֶגֶד אוֹ־עוֹר אוֹ שָׂק כׇּל־כְּלִי אֲשֶׁר־יֵעָשֶׂה מְלָאכָה בָּהֶם בַּמַּיִם יוּבָא וְטָמֵא עַד־הָעֶרֶב וְטָהֵֽר׃ | 32 |
The dead body of any of these, falling on anything, will make that thing unclean; if it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or bag, whatever it is, if it is used for any purpose, it will have to be put into water, and will be unclean till evening; after that it will be clean.
| וְכׇל־כְּלִי־חֶרֶשׂ אֲשֶׁר־יִפֹּל מֵהֶם אֶל־תּוֹכוֹ כֹּל אֲשֶׁר בְּתוֹכוֹ יִטְמָא וְאֹתוֹ תִשְׁבֹּֽרוּ׃ | 33 |
And if one of them gets into any vessel of earth, whatever is in the vessel will be unclean and the vessel will have to be broken.
| מִכׇּל־הָאֹכֶל אֲשֶׁר יֵאָכֵל אֲשֶׁר יָבוֹא עָלָיו מַיִם יִטְמָא וְכׇל־מַשְׁקֶה אֲשֶׁר יִשָּׁתֶה בְּכׇל־כְּלִי יִטְמָֽא׃ | 34 |
Any food in it, and anything on which water from it comes, will be unclean: any drink taken from such a vessel will be unclean.
| וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר־יִפֹּל מִנִּבְלָתָם ׀ עָלָיו יִטְמָא תַּנּוּר וְכִירַיִם יֻתָּץ טְמֵאִים הֵם וּטְמֵאִים יִהְיוּ לָכֶֽם׃ | 35 |
Any part of the dead body of one of these, falling on anything, will make it unclean; if it is an oven or a cooking-pot it will have to be broken: they are unclean and will be unclean to you.
| אַךְ מַעְיָן וּבוֹר מִקְוֵה־מַיִם יִהְיֶה טָהוֹר וְנֹגֵעַ בְּנִבְלָתָם יִטְמָֽא׃ | 36 |
But at the same time a fountain or a place where water is stored for use will be clean; but anyone touching their dead bodies will be unclean.
| וְכִי יִפֹּל מִנִּבְלָתָם עַל־כׇּל־זֶרַע זֵרוּעַ אֲשֶׁר יִזָּרֵעַ טָהוֹר הֽוּא׃ | 37 |
If any part of the dead body of one of these gets on to any seed for planting, it is clean;
| וְכִי יֻתַּן־מַיִם עַל־זֶרַע וְנָפַל מִנִּבְלָתָם עָלָיו טָמֵא הוּא לָכֶֽם׃ | 38 |
But if water is put on the seed, and any part of the dead body gets on to it, it will be unclean to you.
| וְכִי יָמוּת מִן־הַבְּהֵמָה אֲשֶׁר־הִיא לָכֶם לְאׇכְלָה הַנֹּגֵעַ בְּנִבְלָתָהּ יִטְמָא עַד־הָעָֽרֶב׃ | 39 |
And if any beast which may be used for food comes to a natural death, anyone touching its dead body will be unclean till evening.
| וְהָֽאֹכֵל מִנִּבְלָתָהּ יְכַבֵּס בְּגָדָיו וְטָמֵא עַד־הָעָרֶב וְהַנֹּשֵׂא אֶת־נִבְלָתָהּ יְכַבֵּס בְּגָדָיו וְטָמֵא עַד־הָעָֽרֶב׃ | 40 |
And he who makes use of any part of its body for food is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening; and anyone taking away its body is to have his clothing washed and be unclean till evening.
| וְכׇל־הַשֶּׁרֶץ הַשֹּׁרֵץ עַל־הָאָרֶץ שֶׁקֶץ הוּא לֹא יֵאָכֵֽל׃ | 41 |
Everything which goes flat on its body on the earth is disgusting, and is not to be used for food.
| כֹּל הוֹלֵךְ עַל־גָּח וֹ ן וְכֹל ׀ הוֹלֵךְ עַל־אַרְבַּע עַד כׇּל־מַרְבֵּה רַגְלַיִם לְכׇל־הַשֶּׁרֶץ הַשֹּׁרֵץ עַל־הָאָרֶץ לֹא תֹאכְלוּם כִּי־שֶׁקֶץ הֵֽם׃ | 42 |
Whatever goes on its stomach or on four feet or has a great number of feet, even all those going flat on the earth, may not be used for food, for they are disgusting.
| אַל־תְּשַׁקְּצוּ אֶת־נַפְשֹׁתֵיכֶם בְּכׇל־הַשֶּׁרֶץ הַשֹּׁרֵץ וְלֹא תִֽטַּמְּאוּ בָּהֶם וְנִטְמֵתֶם בָּֽם׃ | 43 |
You are not to make yourselves disgusting with anything which goes about flat on the earth; you may not make yourselves unclean with them, in such a way that you are not holy to me.
| כִּי אֲנִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם וְהִתְקַדִּשְׁתֶּם וִהְיִיתֶם קְדֹשִׁים כִּי קָדוֹשׁ אָנִי וְלֹא תְטַמְּאוּ אֶת־נַפְשֹׁתֵיכֶם בְּכׇל־הַשֶּׁרֶץ הָרֹמֵשׂ עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 44 |
For I am the Lord your God: for this reason, make and keep yourselves holy, for I am holy; you are not to make yourselves unclean with any sort of thing which goes about flat on the earth.
| כִּי ׀ אֲנִי יְהֹוָה הַֽמַּעֲלֶה אֶתְכֶם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם לִהְיֹת לָכֶם לֵאלֹהִים וִהְיִיתֶם קְדֹשִׁים כִּי קָדוֹשׁ אָֽנִי׃ | 45 |
For I am the Lord, who took you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God; so be you holy, for I am holy.
| זֹאת תּוֹרַת הַבְּהֵמָה וְהָעוֹף וְכֹל נֶפֶשׁ הַֽחַיָּה הָרֹמֶשֶׂת בַּמָּיִם וּלְכׇל־נֶפֶשׁ הַשֹּׁרֶצֶת עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 46 |
This is the law about beasts and birds and every living thing moving in the waters, and every living thing which goes flat on the earth:
| לְהַבְדִּיל בֵּין הַטָּמֵא וּבֵין הַטָּהֹר וּבֵין הַֽחַיָּה הַֽנֶּאֱכֶלֶת וּבֵין הַֽחַיָּה אֲשֶׁר לֹא תֵאָכֵֽל׃ | 47 |
Marking out the unclean from the clean, and the living thing which may be used for food from that which may not.
