Leviticus 11
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying unto them,
2 Ref `Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, This `is' the beast which ye do eat out of all the beasts which `are' on the earth:
3 Ref any dividing a hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hoofs, bringing up the cud, among the beasts, it ye do eat.
4 `Only, this ye do not eat -- of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the hoof -- the camel, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof not dividing -- it `is' unclean to you;
5 Ref and the rabbit, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof it divideth not -- unclean it `is' to you;
6 Ref and the hare, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof hath not divided -- unclean it `is' to you;
7 Ref and the sow, though it is dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hoof, yet the cud it bringeth not up -- unclean it `is' to you.
8 Ref `Of their flesh ye do not eat, and against their carcase ye do not come -- unclean they `are' to you.
9 Ref `This ye do eat of all which `are' in the waters; any one that hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the brooks, them ye do eat;
10 Ref and any one that hath not fins and scales in the seas, and in the brooks, of any teeming creature of the waters, and of any creature which liveth, which `is' in the waters -- an abomination they `are' to you;
11 yea, an abomination they are to you; of their flesh ye do not eat, and their carcase ye abominate.
12 `Any one that hath not fins and scales in the waters -- an abomination it `is' to you.
13 Ref `And these ye do abominate of the fowl; they are not eaten, an abomination they `are': the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
14 and the vulture, and the kite after its kind,
15 Ref every raven after its kind,
16 Ref and the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after its 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 its kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
20 Ref `Every teeming creature which is flying, which is going on four -- an abomination it `is' to you.
21 `Only -- this ye do eat of any teeming thing which is flying, which is going on four, which hath legs above its feet, to move with them on the earth;
22 Ref these of them ye do eat: the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the beetle after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind;
23 and every teeming thing which is flying, which hath four feet -- an abomination it `is' to you.
24 Ref `And by these ye are made unclean, any one who is coming against their carcase is unclean till the evening;
25 Ref and anyone who is lifting up `aught' of their carcase doth wash his garments, and hath been unclean till the evening: --
