LE-11:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto
them,
LE-11:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These [are]
the beasts
which ye shall eat among all the beasts that [are] on the earth.
LE-11:3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, [and]
cheweth the
cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
LE-11:4 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.
LE-11:5 And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth
not the hoof;
he [is] unclean unto you.
LE-11:6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth
not the hoof;
he [is] unclean unto you.
LE-11:7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be
clovenfooted, yet he
cheweth not the cud; he [is] unclean to you.
LE-11:8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase
shall ye not
touch; they [are] unclean to you.
LE-11:9 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.
LE-11:10 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:
LE-11:11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall
not eat of
their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
LE-11:12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that
[shall be] an
abomination unto you.
LE-11:13 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 osprey,
LE-11:14 And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
LE-11:15 Every raven after his kind;
LE-11:16 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckoo, and
the hawk after
his kind,
LE-11:17 And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great
owl,
LE-11:18 And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
LE-11:19 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the
lapwing, and the
bat.
LE-11:20 All fowls that creep, going upon [all] four, [shall
be] an
abomination unto you.
LE-11:21 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;
LE-11:22 [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.
LE-11:23 But all [other] flying creeping things, which have
four feet, [shall
be] an abomination unto you.
LE-11:24 And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth
the carcase of
them shall be unclean until the even.
LE-11:25 And whosoever beareth [ought] of the carcase of them
shall wash his
clothes, and be unclean until the even.
LE-11:26 [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.
LE-11:27 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.
LE-11:28 And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his
clothes, and
be unclean until the even: they [are] unclean unto you.
LE-11:29 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,
LE-11:30 And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and
the snail,
and the mole.
LE-11:31 These [are] unclean to you among all that creep:
whosoever doth
touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
LE-11:32 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.
LE-11:33 And every earthen vessel, whereinto [any] of them
falleth,
whatsoever [is] in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
LE-11:34 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.
LE-11:35 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.
LE-11:36 Nevertheless a fountain or pit, [wherein there is]
plenty of water,
shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be
unclean.
LE-11:37 And if [any part] of their carcase fall upon any
sowing seed which
is to be sown, it [shall be] clean.
LE-11:38 But if [any] water be put upon the seed, and [any
part] of their
carcase fall thereon, it [shall be] unclean unto you.
LE-11:39 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that
toucheth the
carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
LE-11:40 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.
LE-11:41 And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth
[shall be] an
abomination; it shall not be eaten.
LE-11:42 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.
LE-11:43 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.
LE-11:44 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.
LE-11:45 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.
LE-11:46 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:
LE-11:47 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.
