Leviticus 11:2-23

2SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, TheseH2063 are the beastsH2416 which ye shall eatH398 among all the beastsH929 that are on the earthH776. 3Whatsoever partethH6536 the hoofH6541, and is clovenfootedH8157H8156, and chewethH5927 the cudH1625, among the beastsH929, that shall ye eatH398. 4NeverthelessH389 these shall ye not eatH398 of them that chewH5927 the cudH1625, or of them that divideH6536 the hoofH6541: as the camelH1581, because he chewethH5927 the cudH1625, but dividethH6536 not the hoofH6541; he is uncleanH2931 unto you. 5And the coneyH8227, because he chewethH5927 the cudH1625, but dividethH6536 not the hoofH6541; he is uncleanH2931 unto you. 6And the hareH768, because he chewethH5927 the cudH1625, but dividethH6536 not the hoofH6541; he is uncleanH2931 unto you. 7And the swineH2386, though he divideH6536 the hoofH6541, and be clovenfootedH8157H8156, yet he chewethH1641 not the cudH1625; he is uncleanH2931 to you. 8Of their fleshH1320 shall ye not eatH398, and their carcaseH5038 shall ye not touchH5060; they are uncleanH2931 to you.

9These shall ye eatH398 of all that are in the watersH4325: whatsoever hath finsH5579 and scalesH7193 in the watersH4325, in the seasH3220, and in the riversH5158, them shall ye eatH398. 10And all that have not finsH5579 and scalesH7193 in the seasH3220, and in the riversH5158, of all that moveH8318 in the watersH4325, and of any livingH2416 thingH5315 which is in the watersH4325, they shall be an abominationH8263 unto you: 11They shall be even an abominationH8263 unto you; ye shall not eatH398 of their fleshH1320, but ye shall have their carcasesH5038 in abominationH8262. 12Whatsoever hath no finsH5579 nor scalesH7193 in the watersH4325, that shall be an abominationH8263 unto you.

13And these are they which ye shall have in abominationH8262 amongH4480 the fowlsH5775; they shall not be eatenH398, they are an abominationH8263: the eagleH5404, and the ossifrageH6538, and the osprayH5822, 14And the vultureH1676, and the kiteH344 after his kindH4327; 15Every ravenH6158 after his kindH4327; 16And the owlH3284H1323, and the night hawkH8464, and the cuckowH7828, and the hawkH5322 after his kindH4327, 17And the little owlH3563, and the cormorantH7994, and the great owlH3244, 18And the swanH8580, and the pelicanH6893, and the gier eagleH7360, 19And the storkH2624, the heronH601 after her kindH4327, and the lapwingH1744, and the batH5847. 20All fowlsH5775 that creepH8318, goingH1980 upon all fourH702, shall be an abominationH8263 unto you. 21Yet these may ye eatH398 of every flyingH5775 creepingH8318 thing that goethH1980 upon all fourH702, which have legsH3767 aboveH4605 their feetH7272, to leapH5425 withalH2004 upon the earthH776; 22Even these of them ye may eatH398; the locustH697 after his kindH4327, and the bald locustH5556 after his kindH4327, and the beetleH2728 after his kindH4327, and the grasshopperH2284 after his kindH4327. 23But all other flyingH5775 creeping thingsH8318, which have fourH702 feetH7272, shall be an abominationH8263 unto you.
