Revised Version 1895
Leviticus 11:2-27
2Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the living things which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
3Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
4Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that part the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.
5And the coney, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.
6And the hare, because she cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, she is unclean unto you.
7And the swine, because he parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you.
8Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcases ye shall not touch; they are unclean unto you.
9These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
10And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination unto you,
11and they shall be an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, and their carcases ye shall have in abomination.
12Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination unto you.
13And these ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the gier eagle, and the ospray;
14and the kite, and the falcon after its kind;
15every raven after its kind;
16and the ostrich, and the night hawk, and the seamew, and the hawk after its kind;
17and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl;
18and the horned owl, and the pelican, and the vulture;
19and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
20All winged creeping things that go upon all four are an abomination unto you.
21Yet these may ye eat of all winged creeping things that go upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;
22even these of them ye may eat; the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.
23But all winged creeping things, which have four feet, are an abomination unto you.
24And by these ye shall become unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even:
25And whosoever beareth aught of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
26Every beast which parteth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, is unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.
27And whatsoever goeth upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all four, they are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.
