Leviticus 11:2-27
2SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, TheseH2063 are the livingH2416 things whichH834 ye shall eatH398 among allH3605 the beastsH929 that are on the earthH776.
3WhatsoeverH3605 parteth the hoofH6541, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cudH1625, among the beastsH929, that shall ye eatH398.
4NeverthelessH389 theseH2088 shall ye notH3808 eatH398 of them that chewH5927 the cudH1625, or of them that partH1931 the hoofH6541: the camelH1581, becauseH3588 he cheweth the cudH1625 but parteth notH3808 the hoofH6541, he is uncleanH2931 unto youH3588.
5And the coney, becauseH3588 he cheweth the cudH1625 but parteth notH3808 the hoofH6541, he is uncleanH2931 unto youH3588.
6And the hareH768, becauseH3588 sheH1931 cheweth the cudH1625 but parteth notH3808 the hoofH6541, sheH1931 is uncleanH2931 unto youH3588.
7And the swine, becauseH3588 he parteth the hoofH6541, and is clovenfooted, but cheweth notH3808 the cudH1625, he is uncleanH2931 unto youH3588.
8Of their fleshH1320 ye shall notH3808 eatH398, and their carcases ye shall notH3808 touchH5060; they are uncleanH2931 unto youH3808.
9TheseH2088 shall ye eatH398 of allH3605 that are in the watersH4325: whatsoeverH3605 hath finsH5579 and scalesH7193 in the watersH4325, in the seasH3220, and in the rivers, them shall ye eatH398.
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.
