Leviticus 11:2-23

2“SpeakH1696 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, ‘1TheseH2088 are the creaturesH2421 whichH834 you may eatH398 from allH3605 the animalsH929 that are on the earthH776. 3WhateverH3605 dividesH6536 a hoofH6541, thus makingH8156 splitH8156 hoofsH6541, and chewsH5927 the cudH1625, among the animalsH929, that you may eatH398. 4NeverthelessH389, 2you are not to eatH398 of theseH2088, among those which chewH5927 the cudH1625, or among those which divideH6536 the hoofH6541: the camelH1581, for though it chewsH5927 cudH1625, it does not divideH6536 the hoofH6541, it is uncleanH2931 to you. 5Likewise, the 3shaphanH8227, for though it chewsH5927 cudH1625, it does not divideH6536 the hoofH6541, it is uncleanH2931 to you; 6the 4rabbitH768 also, for though it chewsH5927 cudH1625, it does not divideH6536 the hoofH6541, it is uncleanH2931 to you; 7and the pigH2386, for though it dividesH6536 the hoofH6541, thus makingH8156 a splitH8156 hoofH6541, it does not chewH1641 cudH1625, it is uncleanH2931 to you. 8You shall not eatH398 of their fleshH1320 norH3808 touchH5060 their carcassesH5038; they are uncleanH2931 to you.

9‘5TheseH2088 you may eatH398, whateverH3605 H834 is in the waterH4325: allH3605 that have finsH5579 and scalesH7193, those in the waterH4325, in the seasH3220 or in the riversH5158, you may eatH398. 10 6But whateverH3605 H834 is in the seasH3220 and in the riversH5158 that does not haveH369 finsH5579 and scalesH7193 amongH4480 allH3605 the teemingH8318 lifeH8318 of the waterH4325, and amongH4480 allH3605 the livingH2416 creaturesH5315 that are in the waterH4325, they are detestableH8263 thingsH8263 to you, 11and they shall be 7abhorrentH8263 to you; you may not eatH398 of their fleshH1320, and their carcassesH5038 you shall detestH8262. 12WhateverH3605 H834 in the waterH4325 does not haveH369 finsH5579 and scalesH7193 is 8abhorrentH8263 to you.

13‘TheseH428, moreover, 9you shall detestH8262 amongH4480 the birdsH5775; they are 10abhorrentH8263, not to be eatenH398: the 11eagleH5404 and the vultureH6538 and the 12buzzardH5822, 14and the kiteH1676 and the falconH344 in its kindH4327, 15everyH3605 ravenH6158 in its kindH4327, 16and the ostrichH3284 and the owlH8464 and the seaH7828 gullH7828 and the hawkH5322 in its kindH4327, 17and the littleH3563 owlH3563 and the cormorantH7994 and the 13greatH3244 owlH3244, 18and the whiteH8580 owlH8580 and the 14pelicanH6893 and the carrionH7360 vultureH7360, 19and the storkH2624, the heronH601 in its kindsH4327, and the hoopoeH1744, and the batH5847.

20‘AllH3605 the 15wingedH5775 insectsH8318 that walkH1980 on all foursH702 are detestableH8263 to you. 21YetH389 theseH2088 you may eatH398 amongH4480 allH3605 the 16wingedH5775 insectsH8318 which walkH1980 on all foursH702: those whichH834 have aboveH4480 H4605 their feetH7272 jointed legsH3767 with whichH1992 to jumpH5425 on the earthH776. 22TheseH428 of them you may eatH398: the locustH697 in its kindsH4327, and the devastatingH5556 locustH5556 in its kindsH4327, and the cricketH2728 in its kindsH4327, and the grasshopperH2284 in its kindsH4327. 23But allH3605 other 17wingedH5775 insectsH8318 whichH834 are four-footedH702 H7272 are detestableH8263 to you.
