| 1 | And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them, |
| 2 | Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the animals which ye shall eat of all the beasts which are on the earth. |
| 3 | Whatever hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts -- that shall ye eat. |
| 4 | Only these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those with cloven hoofs: the camel, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs -- it shall be unclean unto you; |
| 5 | and the rock-badger, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs -- it shall be unclean unto you; |
| 6 | and the hare, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs -- it shall be unclean unto you; |
| 7 | and the swine, for it hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, but it cheweth not the cud -- it shall be unclean unto you. |
| 8 | Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch: they shall be unclean unto you. |
| 9 | These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatever hath fins and scales in waters, in seas and in rivers, these shall ye eat; |
| 10 | but all that have not fins and scales in seas and in rivers, of all that swarm in the waters, and of every living soul which is in the waters -- they shall be an abomination unto you. |
| 11 | They shall be even an abomination unto you: of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase ye shall have in abomination. |
| 12 | Whatever in the waters hath no fins and scales, that shall be an abomination unto you. |
| 13 | And these shall ye have in abomination of the fowls; they shall not be eaten; an abomination shall they be: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle, |
| 14 | and the falcon, and the kite, after its kind; |
| 15 | every raven after its kind; |
| 16 | and the female ostrich and the male ostrich, and the sea-gull, and the hawk, after its kind; |
| 17 | and the owl, and the gannet, and the ibis, |
| 18 | and the swan, and the pelican, and the carrion vulture, |
| 19 | and the stork; the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat. |
| 20 | Every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four shall be an abomination unto you. |
| 21 | Yet these shall ye eat of every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four: those which have legs above their feet with which to leap upon the earth. |
| 22 | These shall ye eat of them: the arbeh after its kind, and the solam after its kind, and the hargol after its kind, and the hargab after its kind. |
| 23 | But every winged crawling thing that hath four feet shall be an abomination unto you. |
| 24 | And by these ye shall make yourselves unclean; whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even. |
| 25 | And whoever carrieth [ought] of their carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even. |
| 26 | Every beast that hath cloven hoofs, but not feet quite split open, nor cheweth the cud, shall be unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean. |
| 27 | And whatever goeth on its paws, among all manner of beasts that go upon all four, those are unclean unto you: whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even. |
| 28 | And he that carrieth their carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even: they shall be unclean unto you. |
| 29 | And these shall be unclean unto you among the crawling things which crawl on the earth: the mole, and the field-mouse, and the lizard, after its kind; |
| 30 | and the groaning lizard, and the great red lizard, and the climbing lizard, and the chomet, and the chameleon. |
| 31 | These shall be unclean unto you among all that crawl: whoever toucheth them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even. |
| 32 | And on whatever any of them when they are dead doth fall, it shall be unclean; all vessels of wood, or garment, or skin, or sack, every vessel wherewith work is done -- it shall be put into water, and be unclean until the even; then shall it be clean. |
| 33 | And every earthen vessel into which [any] of them falleth -- whatever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it. |
| 34 | All food that is eaten on which [such] water hath come shall be unclean; and all drink that is drunk shall be unclean, in every [such] vessel. |
| 35 | And everything where upon [any part] of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; oven and hearth shall be broken down: they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you. |
| 36 | Nevertheless, a spring or a well, a quantity of water, shall be clean. But he that toucheth their carcase shall be unclean. |
| 37 | And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing-seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean; |
| 38 | but if water have been put on the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you. |
| 39 | And if any beast which is to you for food die, he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even. |
| 40 | And he that eateth of its carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even: he also that carrieth its carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even. |
| 41 | And every crawling thing which crawleth on the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten. |
| 42 | Whatever goeth on the belly, and whatever goeth on all four, and all that have a great many feet, of every manner of crawling thing which crawleth on the earth -- these ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination. |
| 43 | Ye shall not make yourselves abominable through any crawling thing which crawleth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby. |
| 44 | For I am Jehovah your God; and ye shall hallow yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy; and ye shall not make yourselves unclean through any manner of crawling thing which creepeth on the earth. |
| 45 | For I am Jehovah who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy. |
| 46 | This is the law of cattle, and of fowl, and of every living soul that moveth in the waters, and of every soul that crawleth on the earth; |
| 47 | to make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that is to be eaten and the beast that is not to be eaten. |
