| 1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them, |
|
| 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the animals which ye shall eat of all the beasts which are on the earth. |
|
| 3 Whatever hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts--that shall ye eat. |
|
| 4 Only these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those with cloven hoofs: the camel, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs--it shall be unclean unto you; |
|
| 5 and the rock-badger, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs--it shall be unclean unto you; |
|
| 6 and the hare, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs--it shall be unclean unto you; |
|
| 7 and the swine, for it hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, but it cheweth not the cud--it shall be unclean unto you. |

|
| 10 but all that have not fins and scales in seas and in rivers, of all that swarm in the waters, and of every living soul which is in the waters--they shall be an abomination unto you. |

| 12 Whatever in the waters hath no fins and scales, that shall be an abomination unto you. |
|
| |

|

|
| 15 every raven after its kind; |
|

|
| 20 Every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four shall be an abomination unto you. |
|
| 21 Yet these shall ye eat of every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four: those which have legs above their feet with which to leap upon the earth. |
|
| 22 These shall ye eat of them: the arbeh after its kind, and the solam after its kind, and the hargol after its kind, and the hargab after its kind. |
|

|
| |

|
| 28 And he that carrieth their carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even: they shall be unclean unto you. |
|
| |
|
| 29 And these shall be unclean unto you among the crawling things which crawl on the earth: the mole, and the field-mouse, and the lizard, after its kind; |
|
| 30 and the groaning lizard, and the great red lizard, and the climbing lizard, and the chomet, and the chameleon. |
|
| 31 These shall be unclean unto you among all that crawl: whoever toucheth them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even. |
|
| 32 And on whatever any of them when they are dead doth fall, it shall be unclean; all vessels of wood, or garment, or skin, or sack, every vessel wherewith work is done--it shall be put into water, and be unclean until the even; then shall it be clean. |
|
| 33 And every earthen vessel into which any of them falleth--whatever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it. |
|
| 34 All food that is eaten on which such water hath come shall be unclean; and all drink that is drunk shall be unclean, in every such vessel. |
|
| 35 And everything where upon any part of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; oven and hearth shall be broken down: they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you. |
|
| 36 Nevertheless, a spring or a well, a quantity of water, shall be clean. But he that toucheth their carcase shall be unclean. |
|
| 37 And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing-seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean; |
|
| 38 but if water have been put on the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you. |
|
| |
|
| 39 And if any beast which is to you for food die, he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even. |
|
| 40 And he that eateth of its carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even: he also that carrieth its carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even. |

|
