1. And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
2. Speak to the children of Israel, saying, These are the animals which you shall eat among all the animals that are on the earth.
3. Whatever parts the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and chews the cud, among the animals, that shall you eat.
4. Nevertheless these shall you not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof; he is unclean to you.
5. And the coney, because he chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof; he is unclean to you.
6. And the hare, because he chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof; he is unclean to you.
7. And the swine, though he divides the hoof, and is clovenfooted, yet he does not chew the cud; he is unclean to you.
8. Of their flesh shall you not eat, and their carcass shall you not touch; they are unclean to you.
9. These shall you eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall you 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 to you:
11. They shall be even an abomination to you; you shall not eat of their flesh, but you shall have their carcasses in abomination.
12. Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination to you.
13. And these are they which you shall have in abomination among the birds; 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 its kind;
15. Every raven after its kind;
16. 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. All flying things that creep, going upon all fours, shall be an abomination to you.
21. Yet these may you eat of every flying creeping thing that walks upon its feet, which have legs above their feet, to leap with upon the earth;
22. Even these of them you may eat; the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the leaping insect after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.
23. But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination to you.
24. And for these you shall be unclean: whoever touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening.
25. And whoever carries anything of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
26. The carcasses of every beast which divides the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor chews the cud, are unclean to you: every one that touches them shall be unclean.
27. And whatever goes upon its paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all fours, those are unclean unto you: whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
28. And he that carries the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: they are unclean to you.
29. These also shall be unclean to you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after its 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: whoever touches them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the evening.
32. And upon whatever any of them, when they are dead, falls, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it be, in which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; so it shall be cleansed.
33. And every earthen vessel, into which any of them falls, whatever is in it shall be unclean; and you shall break it.
34. Of all food which may be eaten, that on which such water comes shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.
35. And every thing upon which any part of their carcass falls shall be unclean; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken in pieces: for they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.
36. Nevertheless a spring or pit, in which there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.
37. And if any part of their carcass falls 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 carcass falls thereon, it shall be unclean to you.
39. And if any animal, of which you may eat, dies; he that touches the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the evening.
40. And he that eats of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: he also that bears the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
41. And every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
42. Whatever goes upon the belly, and whatever goes upon all fours, or whatever has more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
43. You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps, neither shall you make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled thereby.
44. For I am the LORD your God: you shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall you defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.
45. For I am the LORD that brings you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: you shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
46. This is the law of the beasts, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps 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.
