Leviticus 11

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 2 Speak you⌃ to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which you⌃ shall eat ofall beasts that are upon the earth. 3 Every beast parting the hoof and making divisions of two claws, and chewing the cud amongbeasts, these you⌃ shall eat. 4 But of these you⌃ shall not eat, of those that chew the cud, and of those that part thehoofs, and divide claws; the camel, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is uncleanto you. 5 And the rabbit, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is uncleanto you. 6 And the hare, because it does not chew the cud, and does not divide the hoof, this isunclean to you. 7 And the swine, because thisanimal divides the hoof, and makes claws of the hoof, and it does not chew the cud, is uncleanto you. 8 You⌃ shall not eat of their flesh, and you⌃ shall not touch their carcases; these areunclean to you. 9 And theseare what you⌃ shall eat of all that are in the waters: all things that have fins and scalesin the waters, and in the seas, and in the brooks, these you⌃ shall eat. 10 And all things which have not fins or scales in the water, or in the seas, and in thebrooks, of all which the waters produce, and of every soul living in the water, are an abomination; andthey shall be abominations to you. 11 You⌃ shall not eat of their flesh, and you⌃ shall abhor their carcases. 12 And all things that have not fins or scales of those that are in the waters, these arean abomination to you. 13 And these are the things which you⌃ shall abhor of birds, and they shall not be eaten,they are an abomination: the eagle and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle. 14 And the vulture, and the kite, and the like to it; 15 and the sparrow, and the owl, and the cormorant, and the like to it: 16 and every raven, and the birds like it, and the hawk and his like, 17 and the night-raven and the cormorant and the stork, 18 and the red-bill, and the pelican, and swan, 19 and the heron, and the lapwing, and the like to it, and the hoopoe and the bat. 20 And all winged creatures that creep, which go upon four feet, are abominations to you. 21 But these you⌃ shall eat of the creeping winged animals, which go upon four feet, whichhave legs above their feet, to leap with on the earth. 22 And these of them you⌃ shall eat: the caterpillar and his like, and the attacus and hislike, and the cantharus and his like, and the locust and his like. 23 Every creeping thing from among the birds, which has four feet, is an abomination toyou. 24 And by these you⌃ shall be defiled; every one that touches their carcases shall be uncleantill the evening. 25 And every one that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be uncleantill the evening. 26 And whichever among the beasts divides the hoof and makes claws, and does not chew thecud, shall be unclean to you; every one that touches their dead bodies shall be unclean till evening. 27 And every one among all the wild beasts that moves upon its fore feet, which goes onall four, is unclean to you; every one that touches their dead bodies shall be unclean till evening. 28 And he that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be uncleantill evening: these are unclean to you. 29 And theseare unclean to you of reptiles upon the earth, the weasel, and the mouse, and the lizard, 30 the ferret, and the chameleon, and the evet, and the newt, and the mole. 31 These are unclean to you of all the reptiles which are on the earth; every one who touchestheir carcases shall be unclean till evening. 32 And on whatever one of their dead bodies shall fall it shall be unclean; whatever woodenvessel, or garment, or skin, or sack it may be, every vessel in which work should be done, shall be dippedin water, and shall be unclean till evening; andthen it shall be clean. 33 And every earthen vessel into which one of these things shall fall, whatever is insideit, shall be unclean, and it shall be broken. 34 And all food that is eaten, on which water shall comefrom such a vessel, shall be unclean; and every beverage which is drunk in anysuch vessel, shall be unclean. 35 And every thing on which there shall fall of their dead bodies shall be unclean; ovensand stands for jars shall be broken down: these are unclean, and they shall be unclean to you. 36 Onlyif the water be of fountains of water, or a pool, or confluence of water, it shall be clean;but he that touches their carcases shall be unclean. 37 And if one of their carcases should fall upon any sowing seed which shall be sown, itshall be clean. 38 But if water be poured on any seed, and one of their dead bodies fall upon it, it isunclean to you. 39 And if one of the cattle die, which it is lawful for you to eat, he that touches theircarcases shall be unclean till evening. 40 And he that eats of their carcases shall wash his garments, and be unclean till evening;and he that carries any of their carcases shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and beunclean till evening. 41 And every reptile that creeps on the earth, this shall be an abomination to you; it shallnot be eaten. 42 And everyanimal that creeps on its belly, and every one that goes on fourfeet continually, which abounds with feet among all the reptiles creeping upon the earth—you⌃shall not eat it, for it is an abomination to you. 43 And you⌃ shall not defile your souls with any of the reptiles that creep upon the earth,and you⌃ shall not be polluted with them, and you⌃ shall not be unclean by them. 44 For I am the Lord your God; and you⌃ shall be sanctified, and you⌃ shall be holy, becauseI the Lord your God am holy; and you⌃ shall not defile your souls with any of the reptiles creeping uponthe earth. 45 For I am the Lord who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God; and you⌃shall be holy, for I the Lord am holy. 46 This is the law concerning beasts and birds and every living creature moving in the water,and every living creature creeping on the earth; 47 to distinguish between the unclean and the clean; and between those that bring forthalive, such as should be eaten, and those that bring forth alive, such as should not be eaten.
