1 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.
