2“Tell the Israelites: Here are the kinds of land animals you may eat: 3all animals that have completely divided hoofs and that also chew their cud. 4However, from those that either chew their cud or have divided hoofs, these are the kinds you must never eat: You must never eat camels. (Camels are unclean because they chew their cud but do not have divided hoofs.) 5You must never eat rock badgers. (Rock badgers are unclean because they chew their cud but do not have divided hoofs.) 6You must never eat rabbits. (Rabbits are unclean because they chew their cud but do not have divided hoofs.) 7You must never eat pigs. (Because pigs have completely divided hoofs but do not chew their cud, they are also unclean.) 8Never eat the meat of these animals or touch their dead bodies. They are unclean for you.
9“Here are the kinds of creatures that live in the water which you may eat—anything in the seas and streams that has fins and scales. 10However, you must consider all swarming creatures living in the seas or the streams that have no fins or scales disgusting. 11They must remain disgusting to you. Never eat their meat. Consider their dead bodies disgusting. 12Every creature in the water without fins or scales is disgusting to you.
13“Here are the kinds of birds you must consider disgusting and must not eat. They are eagles, bearded vultures, black vultures, 14kites, all types of buzzards, 15all types of crows, 16ostriches, nighthawks, seagulls, all types of falcons, 17little owls, cormorants, great owls, 18barn owls, pelicans, ospreys, 19storks, all types of herons, hoopoes, and bats.
20“Every swarming, winged insect that walks across the ground like a four-legged animal is disgusting to you. 21However, you may eat winged insects that swarm if they use their legs to hop on the ground. 22You may eat any kind of locust, cricket, katydid, or grasshopper. 23Every kind of winged insect that walks across the ground like a four-legged animal is disgusting to you.
