Leviticus 11
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying unto them:
And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
2 Speak ye unto the sons of Israel saying, —These are the living things which ye may eat, of all the beasts which are upon the earth:
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the living things which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof and is cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud among beasts, that, may ye eat.
Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, [and] cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
4 Nevertheless, these, shall ye not eat, of them that chew the cud, and of them that part the hoof, —the camel, because though he, cheweth the cud, yet, the hoof, he parteth not, unclean, he is to you;
Nevertheless 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.
5 And, the coney, because, though he cheweth the cud, yet, the hoof, he parteth not, —unclean, he is to you;
And the coney, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.
6 And the hare, because though she cheweth the cud, yet the hoof, she parteth not, —unclean, she is to you;
And the hare, because she cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, she is unclean unto you.
7 And, the swine, because though he parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, yet, the cud, he cheweth not, —unclean, he is to you;
And the swine, because he parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you.
8 Of their flesh, shall ye not eat, and, their carcase, shall ye not touch, —unclean, they are to you.
Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcases ye shall not touch; they are unclean unto you.
9 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.
These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
10 But, all that have not fins and scales, in the seas and in the rivers, of all that swarm in the waters, and of all the living souls that are in the waters, an abomination, they are unto you;
And 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,
11 and an abomination, shall they remain to you, —of their flesh, ye shall not eat, and their carcases, shall ye abhor.
and they shall be an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, and their carcases ye shall have in abomination.
12 Whatsoever hath not fins and scales in the waters, an abomination, it is unto you.
Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination unto you.
13 And, these, shall ye abhor of birds, they shall not be eaten, an abomination, they are, —the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey;
And these ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the gier eagle, and the ospray;
14 and the vulture, and the falcon, after its kind;
and the kite, and the falcon after its kind;
15 every raven, after its kind;
every raven after its kind;
16 and the female ostrich, and the male ostrich, and the sea-gull, —and the hawk after its kind;
and the ostrich, and the night hawk, and the seamew, and the hawk after its kind;
17 and the pelican and the gannet, and the bittern;
and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl;
18 and the swan and the vomiting pelican and the little vulture;
and the horned owl, and the pelican, and the vulture;
19 and the stork, and the parrot, after its kind, —and the mountain-cock and the bat.
and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
20 Every creeping thing that flieth, that goeth on all-fours, an abomination, it is unto you.
All winged creeping things that go upon all four are an abomination unto you.
21 Nevertheless, these, may ye eat, of all creeping things that fly, that go on all-fours, —such as have legs above their feet, to leap therewith, upon the earth—
Yet these may ye eat of all winged creeping things that go upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;
22 these of them, may ye eat: the swarming-locust after its kind, and the devouring locust after its kind, —and the chargol-locust after its kind, and the chagab-locust after its kind.
even 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.
23 But every [other] creeping thing that flieth, which hath four feet, an abomination, it is unto you;
But all winged creeping things, which have four feet, are an abomination unto you.
24 and, for these, shall ye count yourselves unclean—whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the evening;
And by these ye shall become unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even:
25 and whosoever beareth away aught of the carcase of them, shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
And whosoever beareth [aught] of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
26 As for every kind of beast which, though it parteth the hoof, yet is not cloven-footed nor cheweth the cud, unclean, they are unto you, —every one who toucheth them shall be unclean.
Every 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.
27 And, all that go upon their paws, among all the living things that go on all-fours, unclean, they are unto you, —whoso toucheth the carcase of them, shall be unclean until the evening.
And whatsoever goeth upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all four, they are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.
28 And, he that beareth away the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the evening, —unclean, they are unto you.
And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.
29 And, these, unto you, shall be unclean, among the creeping things that creep upon the earth, —the weasel and the mouse, and the lizard after its kind;
And 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,
30 and the ferret and the chameleon and the wall-lizard, —and the winding lizard, and the mole.
and the gecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon.
31 These, are they which are unclean to you among all that creep, —whosoever toucheth them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening;
These 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.
32 and, everything whereon any of them shall fall when they are dead shall be unclean—of any articles of wood, or cloth, or skin, or sackcloth, any article wherewith any work is done, —shall be put in water and shall be unclean until the evening, and then be clean,
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 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.
33 And, as for any earthen vessel whereinto any of them may fall, everything therein shall be unclean, and, the vessel itself, shall ye break in pieces.
And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean, and it ye shall break.
34 Of all the food that may be eaten, that whereon shall come water, shall be unclean, —and, all drink which might be drunk in any [such] vessel, shall be unclean.
All 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.
35 And, everything whereon shall fall any part of the carcase of them shall be unclean, oven or fire-range, it shall be destroyed, unclean, they are, —and, unclean, Shall they remain to you.
And every thing whereupon [any part] of their carcase 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.
36 Notwithstanding, a fountain or cistern wherein is a gathering of waters shall be clean, —but, he that toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean.
Nevertheless a fountain or a pit wherein is a gathering of water shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.
37 And when any part of the carcase of them shall fall upon seed for sowing, which is to be sown, the same is, clean.
And if [aught] of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.
38 But, when water shall be put upon seed, and there shall fall thereon any part of the carcase of them, unclean, it is to you.
But if water be put upon the seed, and [aught] of their carcase fall thereon, it is unclean unto you.
39 And, when any of the beasts which are yours for food shall die, he that toucheth the carcase of it shall be unclean until the evening.
And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
40 And, he that eateth of the carcase of it, shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening, —he also that carrieth away the carcase thereof shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
41 And, any creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, an abomination, it is—it shall not be eaten.
And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth is an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
42 Everything that goeth upon the belly, and everything that goeth upon all-fours, even to everything having many feet, as regardeth any creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, ye shall not eat them for, an abomination, they are.
Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath many feet, even all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
43 Do not make your persons abominable, with any creeping thing that creepeth, —neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should become unclean thereby.
Ye 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.
44 For, I—Yahweh, am your God, therefore shall ye hallow yourselves and remain holy; for, holy, am, I,—therefore shall ye not make your persons unclean, with any creeping thing that crawleth upon the earth;
For I am the LORD 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.
45 for, I—Yahweh, am he that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, that I might become your God, —therefore shall ye be holy, for, holy, am, I.
For I am the LORD that 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 beast and of bird, and of every living soul that moveth in the waters, —and as to every soul that creepeth upon the earth:
This is the law of the beast, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:
47 That ye may make a difference—between the unclean and the clean, —and between the living thing that may be eaten, and the living thing which may not be eaten.
to make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.
