Leviticus 11:1-30

Brenton^{(i) 1} And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, ² Speak ye to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat of all beasts that are upon the earth. ³ Every beast parting the hoof and making divisions of two claws, and chewing the cud among beasts, these ye shall eat. ⁴ But of these ye shall not eat, of those that chew the cud, and of those that part the hoofs, and divide claws; the camel, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you. ⁵ And the rabbit, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you. ⁶ And the hare, because it does not chew the cud, and does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you. ⁷ And the swine, because this animal divides the hoof, and makes claws of the hoof, and it does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. ⁸ Ye shall not eat of their flesh, and ye shall not touch their carcases; these are unclean to you. ⁹ And these are what ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all things that have fins and scales in the waters, and in the seas, and in the brooks, these ye shall eat. ¹⁰ And all things which have not fins or scales in the water, or in the seas, and in the brooks, of all which the waters produce, and of every soul living in the water, are an abomination; and they shall be abominations to you. ¹¹ Ye shall not eat of their flesh, and ye shall abhor their carcases. ¹² And all things that have not fins or scales of those that are in the waters, these are an abomination to you. ¹³ And these are the things which ye 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 sea-mew, 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 ye shall eat of the creeping winged animals, which go upon four feet, which have legs above their feet, to leap with on the earth. ²² And these of them ye shall eat: the caterpillar and his like, and the attacus and his like, 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 to you. ²⁴ And by these ye shall be defiled; every one that touches their carcases shall be unclean till the evening. ²⁵ And every one that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean till the evening. ²⁶ And whichever among the beasts divides the hoof and makes claws, and does not chew the cud, 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 on all 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 unclean till evening: these are unclean to you. ²⁹ And these are 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.
