* And the Lord spoke unto Moses and to Aaron , saying unto them , * Speak unto the children of Israel , saying , These are the beasts which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth . * Whatsoever divideth the hoof , and is cloven –footed , and cheweth the cud , among the beasts , that may ye eat . * But these shall ye not eat , of those that chew the cud , or of those that divide the hoof : the camel ; because he cheweth the cud , but divideth not the hoof ; he is unclean unto you . * And the cony ; because he cheweth the cud , but divideth not the hoof ; he is unclean unto you . * And the hare ; because he cheweth the cud , but divideth not the hoof ; he is unclean unto you . * And the swine ; because he divideth the hoof , and is cloven –footed , but he cheweth not the cud ; he is unclean unto you . * Of their flesh shall ye not eat , and their carcass shall ye not touch ; they are unclean unto you . * These may ye eat , of all that are in the waters : all that have fins and scales in the waters , in the seas , and in the rivers , them may ye eat . * But all that have not fins and scales in the seas , and in the rivers , of whatever moveth in the waters , and of any living thing which is in the waters , shall be an abomination unto you : * And an abomination shall they remain unto you ; of their flesh shall ye not eat , and their carcasses ye shall have in abomination . * Whatsoever hath not fins and scales in the waters , shall be an abomination unto you . * And these shall ye have in abomination among the fowls ; they shall not be eaten , they are an abomination : The eagle , and the ossifrage , and the osprey , * And the vulture , and the kite after his kind ; * Every raven after his kind : * And the ostrich , and the night –hawk , and the cuckoo , and the hawk after his kind ; * And the little owl , and the cormorant , and the great owl , * And the swan , and the pelican , and the gier –eagle , * And the stork , the heron after his kind , and the lapwing , and the bat . * All flying insects that walk upon four feet , shall be an abomination unto you . * Yet these may ye eat , among all the flying insects that walk on four feet , which have spring –legs above their feet , to leap therewith upon the earth . * These of them may ye eat : The locust after its kind , and the sol ’am after its kind , and the chargol after its kind , and the chagab after its kind . * But all flying insects , which have four feet , shall be an abomination unto you ; * And through these shall ye be rendered unclean : whosoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening ; * And whosoever beareth aught of their carcass shall wash his clothes , and be unclean until the evening . * Every species of beast , which divideth the hoof and is not cloven –footed nor cheweth the cud , is unclean unto you : every one that toucheth the same shall be unclean . * And all that walk upon their paws , among all manner of beasts that walk on four feet , are unclean unto you ; whosoever toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the evening . * And he that beareth their carcass shall wash his clothes , and be unclean until the evening : unclean shall they be unto you . * And these shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth : The weasel , and the mouse , and the tortoise after its kind , * And the hedgehog , and the chameleon , and the lizard , and the snail , and the mole . * These shall be unclean to you among all that creep : whosoever doth touch them , when they are dead , shall be unclean until the evening . * And every thing upon which any part of them , when they are dead , doth fall , shall be unclean ; whether it be any vessel of wood , or raiment , or skin , or sack , every vessel wherewith any work can be done , must be put into water , and it shall be unclean until the evening , when it shall be clean . * And every earthen vessel whereinto any part of them falleth , whatsoever is in it shall be unclean ; and itself shall ye break . * All kinds of food which may be eaten , on which water cometh , shall be unclean : and all drink that may be drunk , shall be rendered unclean in every vessel . * And every thing whereupon any part of their carcass falleth , shall be unclean ; an oven , or ranges for pots , shall be broken down , they are unclean ; and unclean shall they be unto you . * Nevertheless , a fountain , or pit , receptacles for water , shall be clean ; but he that toucheth their carcass shall be unclean . * And if any part of their carcass fall upon any sowing –seed which hath been sown , it shall be clean . * But if any water be put upon the seed , and any part of their carcass fall thereon , it shall be unclean unto you . * And if any cattle die , which is allowed to you as food : he that toucheth its carcass shall be unclean until the evening . * And he that eateth of its carcass shall wash his clothes , and be unclean until the evening ; he also that beareth its carcass shall wash his clothes , and be unclean until the evening . * And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth is an abomination , it shall not be eaten . * Whatsoever goeth upon the belly , and whatsoever goeth upon four feet , down to whatsoever hath many feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth , shall ye not eat ; for they are an abomination . * Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth ; and ye shall not make yourselves unclean with them , that ye should be defiled thereby . * For I am the Lord your God ; ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves , and ye shall be holy ; for I am holy : neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth . * For I am the Lord that have brought you up out of the land of Egypt , to be your God ; ye shall therefore be holy , for I am holy . * This is the law of the beasts , and of the fowl , and of every living creature that moveth in the waters , and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth : * To distinguish between the unclean and the clean , and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten .
