Leviticus 11:10-41
10And allH3605 that have notH369 finsH5579 and scalesH7193 in the seasH3220, and in the rivers, of allH3605 that move in the watersH4325, and of allH3605 the livingH2416 creaturesH5315 that are in the watersH4325, they are an abomination unto youH834,
11and they shall be an abomination unto youH3808; ye shall notH3808 eatH398 of their fleshH1320, and their carcases ye shall have in abomination.
12WhatsoeverH3605 hath noH369 finsH5579 norH369 scalesH7193 in the watersH4325, that is an abomination unto youH834.
13And theseH428 ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall notH3808 be eatenH398, they are an abomination: the eagleH5404, and the gier eagleH5404, and the ospray;
14and the kiteH1676, and the falconH344 afterH4327 itsH853 kindH4327;
15everyH3605 ravenH6158 afterH4327 itsH3605 kindH4327;
16and the ostrichH3284, and the night hawkH5322, and the seamew, and the hawkH5322 afterH4327 itsH853 kindH4327;
17and the little owlH3244, and the cormorantH7994, and the greatH3244 owlH3244;
18and the horned owlH8580, and the pelicanH6893, and the vultureH7360;
19and the storkH2624, the heronH601 afterH4327 itsH853 kindH4327, and the hoopoeH1744, and the batH5847.
20AllH3605 wingedH5775 creeping things that goH1980 uponH5921 allH3605 fourH702 are an abomination unto youH3605.
21Yet theseH2088 may ye eatH398 of allH3605 wingedH5775 creeping things that goH1980 uponH5921 allH3605 fourH702, whichH834 have legsH3767 aboveH5921 their feetH7272, to leap withal uponH5921 the earthH776;
22evenH853 theseH428 of them ye may eatH398; the locustH697 afterH1992 itsH853 kindH4327, and the bald locustH697 afterH1992 itsH853 kindH4327, and the cricketH2728 afterH1992 itsH853 kindH4327, and the grasshopperH2284 afterH1992 itsH853 kindH4327.
23But allH3605 wingedH5775 creeping things, whichH834 have fourH702 feetH7272, are an abomination unto youH834.
24And by theseH428 ye shall becomeH2930 uncleanH2930: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be uncleanH2930 untilH5704 the evenH5704:
25And whosoever beareth aught of the carcase of them shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be uncleanH2930 untilH5704 the evenH5704.
26EveryH3605 beastH929 whichH834 parteth the hoofH6541, and is notH369 clovenfooted, norH369 cheweth the cudH1625, is uncleanH2931 unto youH834: everyH3605 one that toucheth them shall be uncleanH2931.
27And whatsoeverH3605 goeth uponH5921 itsH3605 pawsH3709, among allH3605 beastsH2416 that goH1980 on allH3605 fourH702, they are uncleanH2931 unto youH3605: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be uncleanH2931 untilH5704 the evenH5704.
28And he that beareth the carcase of them shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be uncleanH2931 untilH5704 the evenH5704: they are uncleanH2931 unto youH5704.
29And theseH2088 are they whichH8318 are uncleanH2931 unto youH5921 among the creeping things that creep uponH5921 the earthH776; the weasel, and the mouseH5909, and the great lizard afterH5921 itsH5921 kindH4327,
30and the geckoH604, and the land-crocodile, and the lizardH3911, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleonH8580.
31TheseH428 are they whichH8318 are uncleanH2931 to youH3605 among allH3605 that creep: whosoever doth touchH5060 them, when they are deadH4194, shall be uncleanH2931 untilH5704 the evenH5704.
32And uponH5921 whatsoeverH3605 anyH3605 of them, when they are deadH4194, doth fallH5307, it shall be uncleanH2930; whetherH176 it be anyH3605 vesselH3627 of woodH6086, or raiment, or skinH5785, or sackH8242, whatsoeverH3605 vesselH3627 it be, wherewith anyH3605 workH4399 is doneH6213, it must be putH935 intoH935 waterH4325, and it shall be uncleanH2930 untilH5704 the evenH5704; then shall it be cleanH2891.
33And everyH3605 earthenH2789 vesselH3627, whereinto anyH3605 of them falleth, whatsoeverH3605 is in it shall be uncleanH2930, and it ye shall breakH7665.
34AllH3605 foodH400 therein whichH834 may be eatenH398, that on whichH834 waterH4325 cometh, shall be uncleanH2930: and allH3605 drinkH8354 that may be drunkH8354 in everyH3605 suchH834 vesselH3627 shall be uncleanH2930.
35And everyH3605 thingH3605 whereupon anyH3605 partH5921 of their carcase falleth shall be uncleanH2931; whether ovenH8574, or range for pots, it shall be brokenH5422 in pieces: they are uncleanH2931, and shall be uncleanH2931 unto youH834.
36NeverthelessH389 a fountainH4599 or a pitH953 wherein is a gatheringH4723 of waterH4325 shall be cleanH2889: but that whichH5038 toucheth their carcase shall be uncleanH2930.
37And ifH3588 aught of their carcase fallH5307 uponH5921 anyH3605 sowingH2221 seedH2233 whichH834 is to be sownH2232, it is cleanH2889.
38But ifH3588 waterH4325 be putH5414 uponH5921 the seedH2233, and aught of their carcase fallH5307 thereonH5921, it is uncleanH2931 unto youH3588.
39And ifH3588 anyH4480 beastH929, of whichH834 ye may eatH402, dieH4191; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be uncleanH2930 untilH5704 the evenH5704.
40And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be uncleanH2930 untilH5704 the evenH5704: he also that beareth the carcase of it shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be uncleanH2930 untilH5704 the evenH5704.
41And everyH3605 creeping thingH8318 that creepeth uponH5921 the earthH776 is an abomination; it shall notH3808 be eatenH398.
