Leviticus 11

1And Jehovah spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,

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

2Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the living things which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

2Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the animals which ye shall eat of all the beasts which are on the earth.

3Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.

3Whatever hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts — that shall ye eat.

4Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that part the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.

4Only 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;

5And the coney, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.

5and the rock-badger, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs — it shall be unclean unto you;

6And the hare, because she cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, she is unclean unto you.

6and the hare, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs — it shall be unclean unto you;

7And the swine, because he parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you.

7and the swine, for it hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, but it cheweth not the cud — it shall be unclean unto you.

8Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch; they are unclean unto you.

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

9These may ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that may ye eat.

9These 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;

10And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination unto you,

10but 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.

11and they shall be an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses ye shall have in abomination.

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

12Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination unto you.

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

13And these ye shall have in abomination among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the gier-eagle, and the ospray,

13And 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,

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

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

15every raven after its kind,

15every raven after its kind;

16and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-mew, and the hawk after its kind,

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

17and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,

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

18and the horned owl, and the pelican, and the vulture,

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

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

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

20All winged creeping things that go upon all fours are an abomination unto you.

20Every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four shall be an abomination unto you.

21Yet these may ye eat of all winged creeping things that go upon all fours, which have legs above their feet, wherewith to leap upon the earth;

21Yet 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.

22even these of them ye may eat: the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.

22These 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.

23But all winged creeping things, which have four feet, are an abomination unto you.

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

24And by these ye shall become unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until the even;

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

25and whosoever beareth aught of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

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

26Every beast which parteth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, is unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.

26Every 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.

27And whatsoever goeth upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all fours, they are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the even.

27And 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.

28And he that beareth the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.

28And he that carrieth their carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even: they shall be unclean unto you.

29And these are they which are unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard after its kind,

29And 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;

30and the gecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon.

30and the groaning lizard, and the great red lizard, and the climbing lizard, and the chomet, and the chameleon.

31These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even.

31These shall be unclean unto you among all that crawl: whoever toucheth them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even.

32And 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 skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherewith any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; then shall it be clean.

32And 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.

33And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean, and it ye shall break.

33And every earthen vessel into which [any] of them falleth — whatever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.

34All food therein which may be eaten, that on which water cometh, shall be unclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.

34All 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.

35And every thing whereupon any part of their carcass falleth shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces: they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.

35And 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.

36Nevertheless a fountain or a pit wherein is a gathering of water shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcass shall be unclean.

36Nevertheless, a spring or a well, a quantity of water, shall be clean. But he that toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.

37And if aught of their carcass fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.

37And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing-seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean;

38But if water be put upon the seed, and aught of their carcass fall thereon, it is unclean unto you.

38but if water have been put on the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.

39And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the even.

39And if any beast which is to you for food die, he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.

40And he that eateth of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

40And 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.

41And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth is an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

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

42Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all fours, or whatsoever hath many feet, even all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

42Whatever 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.

43Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.

43Ye 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.

44For I am Jehovah your God: sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that moveth upon the earth.

44For I am Jehovah yourGod; 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.

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

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

46This is the law of the beast, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth;

46This 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;

47to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.

47to 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.
