1And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying unto them, 2‘Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, This is the beast which ye do eat out of all the beasts which are on the earth: 3any dividing a hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hoofs, bringing up the cud, among the beasts, it ye do eat.

4‘Only, this ye do not eat—of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the hoof—the camel, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof not dividing—it is unclean to you; 5and the rabbit, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof it divideth not—unclean it is to you; 6and the hare, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof hath not divided—unclean it is to you; 7and the sow, though it is dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hoof, yet the cud it bringeth not up—unclean it is to you.

8‘Of their flesh ye do not eat, and against their carcase ye do not come—unclean they are to you.

9‘This ye do eat of all which are in the waters; any one that hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the brooks, them ye do eat; 10and any one that hath not fins and scales in the seas, and in the brooks, of any teeming creature of the waters, and of any creature which liveth, which is in the waters—an abomination they are to you; 11yea, an abomination they are to you; of their flesh ye do not eat, and their carcase ye abominate.

12‘Any one that hath not fins and scales in the waters—an abomination it is to you.

13‘And these ye do abominate of the fowl; they are not eaten, an abomination they are: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, 14and the vulture, and the kite after its kind, 15every raven after its kind, 16and the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after its kind, 17and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, 18and the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, 19and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

20‘Every teeming creature which is flying, which is going on four—an abomination it is to you.

21‘Only—this ye do eat of any teeming thing which is flying, which is going on four, which hath legs above its feet, to move with them on the earth; 22these of them ye do eat: the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the beetle after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind; 23and every teeming thing which is flying, which hath four feet—an abomination it is to you.
