1
And 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 :
3
any 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;
5
and the rabbit, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof it divideth not -- unclean it [is] to you;
6
and the hare, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof hath not divided -- unclean it [is] to you;
7
and 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 ;
10
and 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;
11
yea, 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,
14
and the vulture, and the kite after its kind,
15
every raven after its kind,
16
and the owl , and the night-hawk , and the cuckoo, and the hawk after its kind,
17
and the little owl , and the cormorant, and the great owl ,
18
and the swan, and the pelican , and the gier eagle,
19
and 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 ;
22
these 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;
23
and every teeming thing which is flying, which hath four feet -- an abomination it [is] to you.
24
`And by these ye are made unclean , any one who is coming against their carcase is unclean till the evening ;
25
and anyone who is lifting up [aught] of their carcase doth wash his garments , and hath been unclean till the evening : --
26
even every beast which is dividing the hoof , and is not cloven-footed, and the cud is not bringing up -- unclean they [are] to you; any one who is coming against them is unclean .
27
`And any one going on its paws, among all the beasts which are going on four -- unclean they [are] to you; any one who is coming against their carcase is unclean until the evening ;
28
and he who is lifting up their carcase doth wash his garments , and hath been unclean until the evening -- unclean they [are] to you.
29
`And this [is] to you the unclean among the teeming things which are teeming on the earth : the weasel, and the mouse , and the tortoise after its kind,
30
and the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole;
31
these [are] the unclean to you among all which are teeming; any one who is coming against them in their death is unclean till the evening .
32
`And anything on which any one of them falleth , in their death, is unclean , of any vessel of wood or garment or skin or sack , any vessel in which work is done is brought into water , and hath been unclean till the evening , then it hath been clean;
33
and any earthen vessel, into the midst of which [any] one of them falleth , all that [is] in its midst is unclean , and it ye do break .
34
`Of all the food which is eaten , that on which cometh [such] water , is unclean , and all drink which is drunk in any [such] vessel is unclean ;
35
and anything on which [any] of their carcase falleth is unclean (oven or double pots), it is broken down, unclean they [are], yea, unclean they are to you.
36
`Only -- a fountain or pit , a collection of water , is clean , but that which is coming against their carcase is unclean ;
37
and when [any] of their carcase falleth on any sown seed which is sown -- it [is] clean ;
38
and when water is put on the seed , and [any] of its carcase hath fallen on it -- unclean it [is] to you.
39
`And when any of the beasts which are to you for food dieth , he who is coming against its carcase is unclean till the evening ;
40
and he who is eating of its carcase doth wash his garments , and hath been unclean till the evening ; and he who is lifting up its carcase doth wash his garments , and hath been unclean till the evening .
41
`And every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth is an abomination, it is not eaten ;
42
any thing going on the belly, and any going on four , unto every multiplier of feet , to every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth -- ye do not eat them, for they [are] an abomination;
43
ye do not make yourselves abominable with any teeming thing which is teeming, nor do ye make yourselves unclean with them, so that ye have been unclean thereby.
44
`For I [am] Jehovah your God , and ye have sanctified yourselves, and ye have been holy, for I [am] holy; and ye do not defile your persons with any teeming thing which is creeping on the earth ;
45
for I [am] Jehovah who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt to become your God ; and ye have been holy, for I [am] holy.
46
`This [is] a law of the beasts , and of the fowl , and of every living creature which is moving in the waters, and of every creature which is teeming on the earth ,
47
to make separation between the unclean and the pure , and between the beast that is eaten , and the beast that is not eaten .'
