Leviticus 11

1 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen et Aaron dicens

And the Lord spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,

2 dicite filiis Israhel haec sunt animalia quae comedere debetis de cunctis animantibus terrae

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

3 omne quod habet divisam ungulam et ruminat in pecoribus comedetis

Whatsoever divideth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.

4 quicquid autem ruminat quidem et habet ungulam sed non dividit eam sicut camelus et cetera non comedetis illud et inter inmunda reputabitis

But these shall ye not eat, of those that chew the cud, or of those that divide the hoof: the camel; because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

5 chyrogryllius qui ruminat ungulamque non dividit inmundus est

And the cony; because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

7 et sus qui cum ungulam dividat non ruminat

8 horum carnibus non vescemini nec cadavera contingetis quia inmunda sunt vobis

Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch; they are unclean unto you.

9 haec sunt quae gignuntur in aquis et vesci licitum est omne quod habet pinnulas et squamas tam in mari quam in fluminibus et stagnis comedetis

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 quicquid autem pinnulas et squamas non habet eorum quae in aquis moventur et vivunt abominabile vobis

But all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of whatever moveth in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, shall be an abomination unto you:

11 et execrandum erit carnes eorum non comedetis et morticina vitabitis
