⁶The hare also: for that too cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof.

⁷And the swine, which, though it divideth the hoof, cheweth not the cud.

⁸The flesh of these you shall not eat, nor shall you touch their carcasses, because they are unclean to you.

⁹These are the things that breed in the waters, and which it is lawful to eat. All that hath fins, and scales, as well in the sea, as in the rivers, and the pools, you shall eat.

¹⁰But whatsoever hath not fins and scales, of those things that move and live in the waters, shall be an abomination to you,

¹¹And detestable. Their flesh you shall not eat: and their carcasses you shall avoid.

¹²All that have not fins and scales, in the waters, shall be unclean.

²⁰Of things that fly, whatsoever goeth upon four feet, shall be abominable to you.

²¹But whatsoever walketh upon four feet, but hath the legs behind longer, wherewith it hoppeth upon the earth,

²²That you shall eat: as the bruchus in its kind, the attacus, and ophimachus, and the locust, every, one according to their kind.

²³But of flying things whatsoever hath four feet only, shall be an abomination to you.

²⁴And whosoever shall touch the carcasses of them, shall be defiled: and shall be unclean until the evening:

²⁵And if it be necessary that he carry any of these things when they are dead: he shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the sun set.

²⁶Every beast that hath a hoof, but divideth it not, nor cheweth the cud shall be unclean: and he that toucheth it, shall be defiled.

²⁷That which walketh upon hands of all animals which go on all four, shall be unclean: he that shall touch their carcasses shall be defiled until evening.

²⁸And he that shall carry such carcasses, shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until evening: because all these things are unclean to you.

²⁹These also shall be reckoned among unclean things, of all that move upon the earth. The weasel, and the mouse, and the crocodile, every one according to their kind:

³⁰The shrew, and the chameleon, and the stellio, and the lizard, and the mole.

³¹All these are unclean. He that toucheth their carcasses shall be unclean until the evening.
