Leviticus 11:10-41

101But whatever is in the seas and in the rivers that does not have fins and scales among all the teeming life of the water, and among all the living creatures that are in the water, they are detestable things to you, 11and they shall be detestable to you; you may not eat any of their flesh, and you shall detest their carcasses. 12Whatever in the water does not have fins and scales is detestable to you.

13‘Moreover, these 2you shall detest among the birds; they are detestable, not to be eaten: the 3eagle, the vulture, and the 4buzzard, 14the red kite, the falcon in its kind, 15every raven in its kind, 16the ostrich, the owl, the seagull, and the hawk in its kind, 17the little owl, the cormorant, and the 5great owl, 18the white owl, the 6pelican, and the carrion vulture, 19the stork, the heron in its kinds, the hoopoe, and the bat.

20‘All the 7winged insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you. 21Yet these you may eat among all the 8winged insects that walk on all fours: those which have jointed legs above their feet with which to jump on the earth. 22These of them you may eat: the locust in its kinds, the devastating locust in its kinds, the cricket in its kinds, and the grasshopper in its kinds. 23But all other 9winged insects which are four-footed are detestable to you.

24‘By these, moreover, you will be made unclean; whoever touches their carcasses becomes unclean until evening, 25and 10whoever picks up any of their carcasses shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening. 26As for all the animals which have a divided hoof but do not show a split hoof, or do not chew the cud, they are unclean to you; whoever touches them becomes unclean. 27Also whatever walks on its paws, among all the creatures that walk on all fours, are unclean to you; whoever touches their carcasses becomes unclean until evening, 28and the one who picks up their carcasses shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening; they are unclean to you.

29‘Now these are to you the unclean among the swarming things which swarm on the earth: the mole, the mouse, and the 11great lizard in its kinds, 30the gecko, the 12crocodile, the lizard, the 13sand reptile, and the chameleon. 31These are to you the unclean among all the swarming things; whoever touches them when they are dead becomes unclean until evening. 32Also anything on which one of them may fall when they are dead becomes unclean, including any wooden article, or clothing, or a hide, or a sack--any article 14of which use is made--15it shall be put in the water and be unclean until evening, then it becomes clean. 33As for any 16earthenware vessel into which one of them may fall, whatever is in it becomes unclean and you shall break 17the vessel. 34Any of the 18food which may be eaten, on which water comes, shall become unclean, and any 19liquid which may be drunk in every vessel shall become unclean. 35Moreover, everything on which part of their carcass may fall becomes unclean; an oven or a 20stove shall be smashed; they are unclean and shall continue as unclean to you. 36Nevertheless, a spring or a cistern 21collecting water shall be clean, though the one who touches their carcass shall be unclean. 37Now if a part of their carcass falls on any seed for sowing which is to be sown, it is clean. 38But if water is put on the seed and a part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.

39‘Also if one of the animals dies which you have for food, the one who touches its carcass becomes unclean until evening. 4022He, too, who eats some of its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening, and the one who picks up its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening.

41‘23Now every swarming thing that swarms on the earth is detestable, not to be eaten.
