* After , the Lord spake vnto Moses and to Aaron , saying vnto them , * Speak unto the children of Israel , saying , These [are ] the beasts which ye (note :)Or , of which ye may eat .(:note ) shall eat among all the beasts that [are ] on the earth . * Whatsoever parteth the (note :)He notes four types of beasts , some that chew the cud only , and some that only have the hoof cleft . Others neither chew the cud , nor have the hoof cleft , and the fourth both chew the cud and have the hoof divided , which may be eaten .(:note ) hoof , and is clovenfooted , [and ] cheweth the cud , among the beasts , that shall ye eat . * But of them that chewe the cud , or deuide the hoofe onely , of them yee shall not eate : as the camel , because he cheweth the cud , &amp ; deuideth not ye hoofe , he shall be vncleane vnto you . * Likewise the conie , because he cheweth the cud and deuideth not the hoofe , he shall bee vncleane to you . * Also the hare , because he cheweth the cud , and deuideth not the hoofe , he shalbe vncleane to you . * And the swine , because he parteth ye hoofe and is clouen footed , but cheweth not the cud , he shalbe vncleane to you . * Of their (note :)God would that by this for a time they should be discerned as his people from the Gentiles .(:note ) flesh shall ye not eat , and their carcase shall ye not touch ; they [are ] unclean to you . * These shall ye eate , of all that are in the waters : whatsoeuer hath finnes &amp ; skales in ye waters , in the seas , or in the riuers , them shal ye eate . * And all that have not fins and scales in the seas , and in the rivers , of all that (note :)As little fish begotten in the slime .(:note ) move in the waters , and of any As they which come of generation . living thing which [is ] in the waters , they [shall be ] an abomination unto you : * They , I say , shalbe an abomination to you : ye shall not eate of their flesh , but shall abhorre their carkeis . * Whatsoeuer hath not fins nor skales in the waters , that shalbe abomination vnto you . * These shal ye haue also in abomination among the foules , they shal not be eaten : for they are an abomination , the egle , and the goshauke , and the osprey : * Also the vultur , &amp ; the kite after his kinde , * And all rauens after their kinde : * The ostrich also , and the night crowe , and the seameaw , and the hauke after his kinde : * The litle owle also , and the connorant , and the great owle . * Also the redshanke and the pelicane , and the swanne : * The storke also , the heron after his kinde , and the lapwing , and the backe : * Also euery foule that creepeth &amp ; goeth vpon all foure , such shalbe an abomination vnto you . * Yet these shal ye eate : of euery foule that creepeth , and goeth vpon all foure which haue their feete and legs all of one to leape withal vpon the earth , * [Even ] these of them ye may eat ; the locust after his kind , and the (note :)These were certain types of grasshoppers , which are not now properly known .(:note ) bald locust after his kind , and the beetle after his kind , and the grasshopper after his kind . * But al other foules that creepe &amp ; haue foure feete , they shalbe abomination vnto you . * For by such ye shalbe polluted : whosoeuer toucheth their carkeis , shalbe vncleane vnto the euening . * And whosoever (note :)Out of the camp .(:note ) beareth [ought ] of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes , and be unclean until the even . * Euery beast that hath clawes deuided , and is not clouen footed , nor cheweth the cud , such shalbe vncleane vnto you : euery one that toucheth them , shalbe vncleane . * And whatsoeuer goeth vpon his pawes among all maner beastes that goeth on all foure , such shalbe vncleane vnto you : who so doth touch their carkeis shalbe vncleane vntil the euen . * And he that beareth their carkeis , shal wash his clothes , and be vncleane vntill the euen : for such shalbe vncleane vnto you . * These also [shall be ] unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth ; the weasel , and the mouse , and the (note :)The green frog that sits on the bushes .(:note ) tortoise after his kind , * Also the rat , and the lizard , and the chameleon , and the stellio , and the molle . * These shall be vncleane to you among all that creepe : whosoeuer doeth touch them when they be dead , shalbe vncleane vntil the euen . * And upon whatsoever [any ] of them , when they are dead , doth fall , it shall be unclean ; whether [it be ] any vessel of wood , or raiment , or (note :)As a bottle or bag .(:note ) skin , or sack , whatsoever vessel [it be ], wherein [any ] work is done , it must be put into water , and it shall be unclean until the even ; so it shall be cleansed . * But euery earthen vessel , whereinto any of them falleth , whatsoeuer is within it shalbe vncleane , and ye shal breake it . * Al meate also that shalbe eaten , if any such water come vpon it , shalbe vncleane : &amp ; all drinke that shalbe drunke in al such vessels shalbe vncleane . * And euery thing that their carkeis fall vpon , shalbe vncleane : the fornais or the pot shalbe broken : for they are vncleane , &amp ; shalbe vncleane vnto you . * Nevertheless a fountain or pit , [wherein there is ] plenty of water , shall be clean : but that which (note :)So much of the water as touched it .(:note ) toucheth their carcase shall be unclean . * And if there fal of their dead carkeis vpo any seede , which vseth to be sowe , it shalbe cleane . * But if [any ] (note :)He speaks of seed that is laid to sleep before it is sown .(:note ) water be put upon the seed , and [any part ] of their carcase fall thereon , it [shall be ] unclean unto you . * If also any beast , whereof ye may eate , die , he that toucheth the carkeis thereof shal be vncleane vntil the euen . * And he that eateth of the carkeis of it , shal wash his clothes and be vncleane vntil the euen : he also that beareth the carkeis of it , shal wash his clothes , and be vncleane vntil the euen . * Euery creeping thing therefore that creepeth vpon the earth shalbe an abomination , and not be eaten . * Whatsoeuer goeth vpon the breast , and whatsoeuer goeth vpon al foure , or that hath many feete among all creeping thinges that creepe vpon the earth , ye shal not eate of them , for they shalbe abomination . * Ye shall not pollute your selues with any thing that creepeth , neither make your selues vncleane with them , neither defile your selues thereby : ye shal not , I say , be defiled by them , * For I [am ] the LORD your God : ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves , and ye shall be (note :)He shows why God chose them to be his people , ( 1Pe_1:15 ).(:note ) holy ; for I [am ] holy : neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth . * For I am the Lorde that brought you out of the lande of Egypt , to be your God , and that you should be holy , for I am holy . * This is the law of beasts , and of foules , and of euery liuing thing that moueth in the waters , and of euery thing that creepeth vpon the earth : * That there may be a difference betweene the vncleane and cleane , and betweene the beast that may be eaten , and the beast that ought not to be eaten .
