Leviticus 11

1And the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872 and to AaronH175, sayingH559 to them, 2SpeakH1696 to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, TheseH2063 are the beastsH2416 which ye may eatH398 among all the beastsH929 that are on the earthH776. 3Whatever partethH6536 the hoofH6541, and is clovenfootedH8156H8157, 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: the camelH1581, because he chewethH5927 the cudH1625, but dividethH6536 not the hoofH6541; he is uncleanH2931 to you. 5And the coneyH8227, because he chewethH5927 the cudH1625, but dividethH6536 not the hoofH6541; he is uncleanH2931 to you. 6And the hareH768, because he chewethH5927 the cudH1625, but dividethH6536 not the hoofH6541; he is uncleanH2931 to you. 7And the swineH2386, though he dividethH6536 the hoofH6541, and is clovenfootedH8156H8157, 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: whatever hath finsH5579 and scalesH7193 in the watersH4325, in the seasH3220, and in the riversH5158, them shall ye eatH398. 10And all that have not finsH5579 nor scalesH7193 in the seasH3220, and in the riversH5158, of all that moveH8318 in the watersH4325, and of any livingH2416 creatureH5315 which is in the watersH4325, they shall be an abominationH8263 to you: 11They shall be even an abominationH8263 to you; ye shall not eatH398 of their fleshH1320, but ye shall have their carcasesH5038 in abominationH8262. 12Whatever hath no finsH5579 nor scalesH7193 in the watersH4325, that shall be an abominationH8263 to 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 owlH1323H3284, 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, and the heronH601 after her kindH4327, and the lapwingH1744, and the batH5847.

20All fowlsH5775 that creepH8318, goingH1980 upon all fourH702, shall be an abominationH8263 to you. 21Yet these may ye eatH398 of every flyingH5775 creepingH8318 thing that goethH1980 upon all fourH702, which have legsH3767 aboveH4605 their feetH7272, to leapH5425 withH2004 upon the earthH776; 22Even these of them ye may eatH398; the locustH697 after its kindH4327, and the bald locustH5556 after its kindH4327, and the beetleH2728 after its kindH4327, and the grasshopperH2284 after its kindH4327. 23But all other flyingH5775 creeping thingsH8318, which have fourH702 feetH7272, shall be an abominationH8263 to you. 24And for these ye shall be uncleanH2930: whoever touchethH5060 the carcaseH5038 of them shall be uncleanH2930 until the eveningH6153. 25And whoever bearethH5375 any of the carcaseH5038 of them shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be uncleanH2930 until the eveningH6153. 26The carcases of every beastH929 which dividethH6536 the hoofH6541, and is not clovenfootedH8157H8156, nor chewethH5927 the cudH1625, are uncleanH2931 to you: every one that touchethH5060 them shall be uncleanH2930. 27And whateverH3605H1992 goethH1980 upon its pawsH3709, among all manner of beastsH2416 that goH1980 on all fourH702, those are uncleanH2931 to you: whoever touchethH5060 their carcaseH5038 shall be uncleanH2930 until the eveningH6153. 28And he that bearethH5375 the carcaseH5038 of them shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be uncleanH2930 until the eveningH6153: they are uncleanH2931 to you. 29These also shall be uncleanH2931 to you among the creeping thingsH8318 that creepH8317 upon the earthH776; the weaselH2467, and the mouseH5909, and the tortoiseH6632 after its kindH4327, 30And the ferretH604, and the chameleonH3581, and the lizardH3911, and the snailH2546, and the moleH8580. 31These are uncleanH2931 to you among all that creepH8318: whoever doth touchH5060 them, when they are deadH4194, shall be uncleanH2930 until the eveningH6153. 32And upon whatever any of them, when they are deadH4194, doth fallH5307, it shall be uncleanH2930; whether it is any vesselH3627 of woodH6086, or raimentH899, or skinH5785, or sackH8242, whatever vesselH3627 it is, in which any workH4399 is doneH6213, it must be putH935 into waterH4325, and it shall be uncleanH2930 until the eveningH6153; so it shall be cleansedH2891. 33And every earthenH2789 vesselH3627, into which any of them fallethH5307H8432, whatever is in it shall be uncleanH2930; and ye shall breakH7665 it. 34Of all foodH400 which may be eatenH398, that on which such waterH4325 comethH935 shall be uncleanH2930: and all drinkH4945 that may be drunkH8354 in every such vesselH3627 shall be uncleanH2930. 35And every thing on which any part of their carcaseH5038 fallethH5307 shall be uncleanH2930; whether an ovenH8574, or rangesH3600 for pots, they shall be broken downH5422: for they are uncleanH2931, and shall be uncleanH2931 to you. 36Nevertheless a fountainH4599 or pitH953, in which there is plentyH4723 of waterH4325, shall be cleanH2889: but that which touchethH5060 their carcaseH5038 shall be uncleanH2930.1 37And if any part of their carcaseH5038 shall fallH5307 upon any sowingH2221 seedH2233 which is to be sownH2232, it shall be cleanH2889. 38But if any waterH4325 shall be putH5414 upon the seedH2233, and any part of their carcaseH5038 shall fallH5307 on it, it shall be uncleanH2931 to you. 39And if any beastH929, of which ye may eatH402, shall dieH4191; he that touchethH5060 its carcaseH5038 shall be uncleanH2930 until the eveningH6153. 40And he that eatethH398 of its carcaseH5038 shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be uncleanH2930 until the eveningH6153: he also that bearethH5375 its carcaseH5038 shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be uncleanH2930 until the eveningH6153. 41And every creeping thingH8318 that creepethH8317 upon the earthH776 shall be an abominationH8263; it shall not be eatenH398. 42Whatever goethH1980 upon the bellyH1512, and whatever goethH1980 upon all fourH702, or whatever hath manyH7235 feetH7272 among all creeping thingsH8318 that creepH8317 upon the earthH776, them ye shall not eatH398; for they are an abominationH8263.2

43Ye shall not makeH8262 yourselvesH5315 abominableH8262 with any creeping thingH8318 that creepethH8317, neither shall ye make yourselves uncleanH2933 with them, that ye should be defiledH2930 by them.3 44For I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselvesH6942, and ye shall be holyH6918; for I am holyH6918: neither shall ye defileH2930 yourselvesH5315 with any manner of creeping thingH8318 that creepethH7430 upon the earthH776. 45For I am the LORDH3068 that bringethH5927 you out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, to be your GodH430: ye shall therefore be holyH6918, for I am holyH6918. 46This is the lawH8451 of the beastsH929, and of the fowlH5775, and of every livingH2416 creatureH5315 that movethH7430 in the watersH4325, and of every creatureH5315 that creepethH8317 upon the earthH776: 47To make a differenceH914 between the uncleanH2931 and the cleanH2889, and between the beastH2416 that may be eatenH398 and the beastH2416 that may not be eatenH398.
