³Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing. ⁴These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat; ⁵the hart, and the gazelle, and the stag, and the wild goat, and the dishon and the oryx, and the wild sheep. ⁶And every beast that hath cloven hoofs, and the feet quite split open into double hoofs, and which cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that ye shall eat. ⁷Only these ye shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those with hoofs cloven and split open: the camel, and the hare, and the rock-badger; for they chew the cud, but have not cloven hoofs—they shall be unclean unto you; ⁸and the swine, for it hath cloven hoofs, yet cheweth not the cud—it shall be unclean unto you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch. ⁹These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales shall ye eat; ¹⁰but whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye shall not eat: it shall be unclean unto you. ¹¹All clean birds shall ye eat. ¹²But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle, ¹³and the falcon, and the kite, and the black kite after its kind; ¹⁴and every raven after its kind; ¹⁵and the female ostrich, and the male ostrich, and the sea-gull, and the hawk after its kind; ¹⁶the owl, and the ibis and the swan, ¹⁷and the pelican, and the carrion vulture, and the gannet, ¹⁸and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat. ¹⁹And every winged crawling thing shall be unclean unto you; they shall not be eaten. ²⁰All clean fowls shall ye eat. ²¹Ye shall eat of no carcase; thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is within thy gates, that he may eat it, or sell it unto a foreigner; for thou art a holy people to Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.
