¹ And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

² This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without blemish, wherein is no defect, and upon which never came yoke;

³ and ye shall give it to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring it outside the camp, and one shall slaughter it before him.

⁴ And Eleazar the priest shall take of its blood with his finger, and shall sprinkle of its blood directly before the tent of meeting seven times.

⁵ And one shall burn the heifer before his eyes; its skin and its flesh, and its blood, with its dung, shall he burn.

⁶ And the priest shall take cedar-wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast them into the midst of the burning of the heifer.

⁷ And the priest shall wash his garments, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterwards he shall come into the camp; and the priest shall be unclean until the even;

⁸ and he that hath burned it shall wash his garments in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.

⁹ And a clean man shall gather the ashes of the heifer, and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the assembly of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin.

¹⁰ And he that hath gathered the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. And it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, an everlasting statute.

¹¹ He that toucheth a dead person, any dead body of a man, shall be unclean seven days.

¹² He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean; but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.

¹³ Whoever toucheth a dead person, the dead body of a man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel; for the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him: he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.

¹⁴ This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: every one that cometh into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.

¹⁵ And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, shall be unclean.

¹⁶ And every one that toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead person, or the bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.

¹⁷ And they shall take for the unclean of the ashes of the purification-offering that hath been burned, and shall put running water thereon in a vessel;

¹⁸ and a clean man shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, and upon all the utensils, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that hath touched the bone, or the one slain, or the dead person, or the grave;

¹⁹ and the clean shall sprinkle it on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day; and he shall purify him on the seventh day; and he shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.

²⁰ And the man that is unclean, and doth not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from the midst of the congregation, for he hath defiled the sanctuary of Jehovah: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled on him: he is unclean.

²¹ And it shall be an everlasting statute unto them. And he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his garments, and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.

²² And whatever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.

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.

⁸ Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch: they shall be unclean unto you.

⁹ These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatever hath fins and scales in waters, in seas and in rivers, these shall ye eat;

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.

¹¹ They shall be even an abomination unto you: of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase ye shall have in abomination.

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

¹³ And these shall ye have in abomination of the fowls; they shall not be eaten; an abomination shall they be: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle,

¹⁴ and the falcon, and the kite, after its kind;

¹⁵ every raven after its kind;

¹⁶ and the female ostrich and the male ostrich, and the sea-gull, and the hawk, after its kind;

¹⁷ and the owl, and the gannet, and the ibis,

¹⁸ and the swan, and the pelican, and the carrion vulture,

¹⁹ and the stork; the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

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.

²³ But every winged crawling thing that hath four feet shall be an abomination unto you.

²⁴ And by these ye shall make yourselves unclean; whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.

²⁵ And whoever carrieth [ought] of their carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even.

²⁶ Every beast that hath cloven hoofs, but not feet quite split open, nor cheweth the cud, shall be unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.

²⁷ And whatever goeth on its paws, among all manner of beasts that go upon all four, those are unclean unto you: whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.

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.

⁴¹ And every crawling thing which crawleth on the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

⁴² Whatever goeth on the belly, and whatever goeth on all four, and all that have a great many feet, of every manner of crawling thing which crawleth on the earth -- these ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

⁴³ Ye shall not make yourselves abominable through any crawling thing which crawleth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.

⁴⁴ For I am Jehovah your God; and ye shall hallow yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy; and ye shall not make yourselves unclean through any manner of crawling thing which creepeth on the earth.

⁴⁵ For I am Jehovah who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

⁴⁶ This is the law of cattle, and of fowl, and of every living soul that moveth in the waters, and of every soul that crawleth on the earth;

⁴⁷ to make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that is to be eaten and the beast that is not to be eaten.
