Leviticus 11:1-30

EJ2000(i) 1 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them, 2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, These are the animals which ye shall eat among all the animals that are on the earth. 3 Whatever divides the hoof and is clovenfooted and chews the cud, among the animals, that shall you eat. 4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud or of those that divide the hoof: the camel because it chews the cud but divides not the hoof; it is unclean unto you. 5 And the coney because it chews the cud, but divides not the hoof: it is unclean unto you. 6 And the hare because it chews the cud, but divides not the hoof: it is unclean unto you. 7 And the swine though it divides the hoof and is clovenfooted, yet it chews not the cud: it is unclean to you. 8 Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcase you shall 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, those shall you eat. 10 But all that have not fins and scales in the seas and in the rivers, of any reptile in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you; 11 they shall be an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, and ye shall have their carcasses in abomination. 12 Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you. 13 And these ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they shall be an abomination: the eagle, the ossifrage, the ospray, 14 the vulture, and the kite according to his species, 15 every raven according to his species, 16 the owl, the night hawk, the cuckow, and the hawk according to his species; 17 the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl, 18 the swan, the pelican, the gier eagle, 19 the stork, the heron according to her species, the lapwing, and the bat. 20 ¶ Every flying insect that creeps, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you. 21 Yet these may ye eat of every flying insect that goes upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap with them upon the earth; 22 these of them ye may eat: the locust according to his species and the bald locust according to his species and the beetle according to his species and the grasshopper according to his species. 23 But all other flying insects, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you. 24 And for these ye shall be unclean: whoever touches their carcase shall be unclean until the evening. 25 And whoever bears any part of their carcase shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening. 26 The carcasses of every animal which divides the hoof and is not clovenfooted, nor chews the cud, are unclean unto you; everyone that touches them shall be unclean. 27 And of all the animals that go on all four, any that walk upon their paws are unclean unto you; whoever touches their carcase shall be unclean until the evening. 28 And he that bears their carcase shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean unto you. 29 These also shall be unclean unto you among the animals that creep upon the earth: the weasel and the mouse and the frog according to his species 30 and the ferret and the lizard and the snail and the slug and the mole.
