⁴These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat, ⁵the hart, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the mountain-sheep. ⁶Every animal that parts the hoof and has the hoof cloven in two, and chews the cud, among the animals, you may eat. ⁷Yet of those that chew the cud or have the hoof cloven you shall not eat these: the camel, the hare, and the rock badger, because they chew the cud but do not part the hoof, are unclean for you. ⁸And the swine, because it parts the hoof but does not chew the cud, is unclean for you. Their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch.

⁹“Of all that are in the waters you may eat these: whatever has fins and scales you may eat. ¹⁰And whatever does not have fins and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean for you.

¹¹“You may eat all clean birds. ¹²But these are the ones which you shall not eat: the eagle, the vulture, the osprey, ¹³the buzzard, the kite, after their kinds; ¹⁴every raven after its kind; ¹⁵the ostrich, the nighthawk, the sea gull, the hawk, after their kinds; ¹⁶the little owl and the great owl, the water hen ¹⁷and the pelican, the carrion vulture and the cormorant, ¹⁸the stork, the heron, after their kinds; the hoopoe and the bat. ¹⁹And all winged insects are unclean for you; they shall not be eaten. ²⁰All clean winged things you may eat.
