41TheseH2088 are the animalsH929 whichH834 you may eatH398: the oxH7794, the sheepH3775H7716, the goatH5795, 52the deerH354, the gazelleH6643, the roebuckH3180, the wildH689 goatH689, the ibexH1788, the antelopeH8377 and the mountainH2169 sheepH2169. 6AnyH3605 animalH929 that dividesH6536 the hoofH6541 and hasH8156 the hoofH8157 splitH8156 in 3twoH8147 and 4chewsH5927 the cudH1625, among the animalsH929, that you may eatH398. 7NeverthelessH389, you are not to eatH398 of theseH2088 amongH4480 those which 5chewH5927 the cudH1625, or amongH4480 those that divideH6536 the hoofH6541 in 6twoH8156: the camelH1581 and the 7rabbitH768 and the 8shaphanH8227, for though they 9chewH5927 the cudH1625, they do not divideH6536 the hoofH6541; they are uncleanH2931 for you. 8The pigH2386, becauseH3588 it dividesH6536 the hoofH6541 but does not chew the cudH1625, it is uncleanH2931 for you. You shall not eatH398 anyH4480 of their fleshH1320 norH3808 touchH5060 their carcassesH5038.

9“TheseH2088 you may eatH398 of allH3605 that are in waterH4325: anythingH3605 that has finsH5579 and scalesH7193 you may eatH398, 10but anythingH3605 that does not haveH369 finsH5579 and scalesH7193 you shall not eatH398; it is uncleanH2931 for you.

11“You may eatH398 anyH3605 cleanH2889 birdH6833. 12But 10theseH2088 are the ones whichH834 you shall not eatH398: the 11eagleH5404 and the vultureH6538 and the 12buzzardH5822, 13and the red kiteH1676, the falconH344, and the kiteH1676 in their kindsH4327, 14and everyH3605 ravenH6158 in its kindH4327, 15and the ostrichH3284, the owlH8464, the seaH7828 gullH7828, and the hawkH5322 in their kindsH4327, 16the littleH3563 owlH3563, the 13greatH3244 owlH3244, the whiteH8580 owlH8580, 17the pelicanH6893, the carrionH7360 vultureH7360, the cormorantH7994, 18the storkH2624, and the heronH601 in their kindsH4327, and the hoopoeH1744 and the batH5847. 19And allH3605 the 14teemingH8318 lifeH8318 with wingsH5775 are uncleanH2931 to you; they shall not be eatenH398. 20You may eatH398 anyH3605 cleanH2889 birdH5775.
