Leviticus 11:2-23
2SpeakH1696 unto the children of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, These are the living things which ye may eatH398 among all the beasts that are on the earthH776. 3Whatsoever parteth the hoofH6541, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cudH1625, among the beasts, that may ye eatH398. 4NeverthelessH389 these shall ye not eatH398 of them that chew the cudH1625, or of them that part the hoofH6541: the camelH1581, because he cheweth the cudH1625 but parteth not the hoofH6541, he is uncleanH2931 unto you. 5And the coney, because he cheweth the cudH1625 but parteth not the hoofH6541, he is uncleanH2931 unto you. 6And the hareH768, because she cheweth the cudH1625 but parteth not the hoofH6541, she is uncleanH2931 unto you. 7And the swine, because he parteth the hoofH6541, and is clovenfooted, but cheweth not the cudH1625, he is uncleanH2931 unto you. 8Of their fleshH1320 ye shall not eatH398, and their carcassesH5038 ye shall not touchH5060; they are uncleanH2931 unto you.
9These may ye eatH398 of all that are in the watersH4325: whatsoever hath finsH5579 and scalesH7193 in the watersH4325, in the seasH3220, and in the rivers, that may ye eatH398. 10And all that have not finsH5579 and scalesH7193 in the seasH3220, and in the rivers, of all that move in the watersH4325, and of all the living creaturesH5315 that are in the watersH4325, they are an abomination unto you, 11and they shall beH1961 an abomination unto you; ye shall not eatH398 of their fleshH1320, and their carcassesH5038 ye shall have in abomination. 12Whatsoever hath no finsH5579 nor scalesH7193 in the watersH4325, that is an abomination unto you.
13And these ye shall have in abomination among the birdsH5775; they shall not be eatenH398, they are an abomination: the eagleH5404, and the gier-eagle, and the ospray, 14and the kite, and the falcon after its kindH4327, 15every ravenH6158 after its kindH4327, 16and the ostrichH3284, and the night-hawk, and the sea-mew, and the hawk after its kindH4327, 17and the little owlH3244, and the cormorantH7994, and the greatH3244 owlH3244, 18and the horned owlH8580, and the pelican, and the vultureH7360, 19and the storkH2624, the heronH601 after its kindH4327, and the hoopoeH1744, and the batH5847.
20All wingedH5775 creeping things that goH1980 upon all foursH702 are an abomination unto you. 21Yet these may ye eatH398 of all wingedH5775 creeping things that goH1980 upon all foursH702, which have legsH3767 above their feetH7272, wherewith to leap upon the earthH776; 22even these of them ye may eatH398: the locustH697 after its kindH4327, and the bald locustH697 after its kindH4327, and the cricket after its kindH4327, and the grasshopperH2284 after its kindH4327. 23But all wingedH5775 creeping things, which have fourH702 feetH7272, are an abomination unto you.
