11 And the LORD spake unto Moses
and to Aaron, saying unto them, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying,
These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on
the earth. 3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted,
and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. 4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of
them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because
he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 5 And the coney, because he cheweth the
cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 6 And the hare, because he cheweth the
cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof,
and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. 8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and
their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you. 9 These shall ye eat of all that are in
the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas,
and in the rivers, them shall ye eat. 10 And all that have not fins and scales
in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any
living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you: 11 They shall be even an abomination unto
you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in
abomination. 12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in
the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you. 13 And these are they which ye shall have
in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination:
the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, 14 And the vulture, and the kite after
his kind; 15 Every raven after his kind; 16 And the owl, and the night hawk, and
the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, 17 And the little owl, and the cormorant,
and the great owl, 18 And the swan, and the pelican, and the
gier eagle, 19 And the stork, the heron after her kind,
and the lapwing, and the bat. 20 All fowls that creep, going upon all
four, shall be an abomination unto you. 21 Yet these may ye eat of every flying
creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet,
to leap withal upon the earth; 22 Even these of them ye may eat; the locust
after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after
his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind. 23 But all other flying creeping things,
which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you. 24 And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever
toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even. 25 And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase
of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
26 The carcases
of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth
the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean. 27 And whatsoever goeth upon his paws,
among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean unto
you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even. 28 And he that beareth the carcase of
them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean
unto you. 29 These also shall be unclean unto you
among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the
mouse, and the tortoise after his kind, 30 And the ferret, and the chameleon,
and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole. 31 These are unclean to you among all
that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean
until the even. 32 And upon whatsoever any of them, when
they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel
of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherein
any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until
the even; so it shall be cleansed. 33 And every earthen vessel, whereinto
any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall
break it. 34 Of all meat which may be eaten, that
on which such water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be
drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean. 35 And every thing whereupon any part
of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; whether it be oven, or ranges
for pots, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean and shall be
unclean unto you. 36 Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein
there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which 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 any water be put upon the seed,
and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you. 39 And if any beast, of which ye may
eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until
the even. 40 And he that eateth of the carcase
of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that
beareth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until
the even. 41 And every creeping thing that creepeth
upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten. 42 Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and
whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all
creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for
they are an abomination. 43 Ye shall not make yourselves abominable
with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves
unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby. 44 For I am the LORD your God: ye shall
therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither
shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth
upon the earth. 45 For I am the LORD that bringeth 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 the beasts, and
of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and
of every creature that creepeth upon the earth: 47 To make a difference between the unclean
and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that
may not be eaten.
