They have forsaken Jehovah; they have provoked the Holy One of Israel to anger; they have gone away backward. ⁵ Why should you be stricken any more? You will revolt more and more; the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. ⁶ From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it; only a wound and a stripe and a fresh blow; they have not been closed, nor bound up, nor soothed with oil. ⁷ Your land is wasted, your cities burned with fire.

¹ And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them, ² Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the animals which you shall eat among all the animals that are in the earth. ³ Whatever divides the hoof, and is cloven-footed, chewing the cud, among the animals, that you shall eat. ⁴ Only, you shall not eat these of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: the camel, for he chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; he is unclean to you. ⁵ And the rock badger, 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 cloven-footed, yet he does not chew the cud; he is unclean to you. ⁸ You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall not touch their dead body.

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 shall be an abomination to you. ¹³ And you shall have these in abomination among the fowls.

Whoever touches their dead body shall be unclean until the evening. ²⁵ And whoever carries the carcass of them shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; ²⁶ even every living thing which divides the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, nor chews the cud, they are unclean to you. Everyone that touches them shall be unclean. ²⁷ And whatever goes on its paws, among all the living things that go on all four, those are unclean to you.

Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening. ³² And whatever shall fall on any of them when they are dead, shall be unclean, whether any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack; whatever vessel in which work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean to the evening. So it shall be cleaned. ³³ And every earthen vessel in 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 on which any part of their dead body falls shall be unclean; whether it is the oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down. They are unclean, and shall be unclean to you. ³⁶ But a fountain or pit, with a collection of water, shall be clean. But that which touches their dead body shall be unclean. ³⁷ And if any of their dead body falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean. ³⁸ But if any water is put on the seed, and any part of the dead body falls on it, it shall be unclean to you. ³⁹ And if any animal among those you may eat dies, he that touches its dead body shall be unclean until the evening. ⁴⁰ And he that eats of its dead body shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening. He also that carries its body shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening. ⁴¹ And every swarming thing that swarms on the earth shall be an abomination. It shall not be eaten. ⁴² Anything going on its belly, and any going on all four, and all having many feet, even every swarming thing that swarms on the earth, you shall not eat them. For they are an abomination. ⁴³ You shall not defile yourselves with any swarming thing that swarms, neither shall you make yourselves unclean with them, so that you should be defiled by them. ⁴⁴ For I am Jehovah your God, and you shall sanctify yourselves, and you shall be holy, for I am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves with any kind of swarming thing that swarms on the earth. ⁴⁵ For I am Jehovah who brought 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 animals, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that swarms on the earth, ⁴⁷ to make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the creature that may be eaten and the creature that may not be eaten.

Have You come here to torment us before the time? ³⁰ And there was a good way off from them a herd of many swine, feeding. ³¹ And the demons begged Him, saying, If You cast us out, allow us to go away into the herd of swine. ³² And He said to them, Go! And when they had come out, they went into the herd of swine. And behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea and perished in the waters.
