Leviticus 11:2-31

2“Speak to Bnei-Yisrael, saying: These are the living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth.

3Whatever has a split, divided hoof and chews cud among the animals—that you may eat.

4“Nevertheless, you should not eat of those that only chew cud, or have a split hoof. The camel, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof, is unclean to you.

5The coney, though it chews the cud yet does not have a divided hoof, so it is unclean to you.

6The hare, though it chews the cud, does not split the hoof, so it is unclean to you.

7The pig, though it has a split, divided hoof, does not chew cud, so it is unclean to you.

8You are not to eat meat from them, nor are you to touch their carcasses. They are unclean to you.

9“From all that are in the waters, you may eat whatever has fins and scales, within the waters, in the seas and in the rivers. Those you may eat.

10But any that do not have fins and scales in the seas or the rivers, among those that swarm on the waters, or among any of the living creatures that are in the waters, they are loathsome to you.

11They are to be detestable to you. You should not eat meat from them and you should detest their carcasses.

12Whatever has neither fins nor scales in the waters, that is a detestable thing to you.

13“Among the birds you should detest the following—they are not to be eaten—they are loathsome: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture,

14the red kite, any kind of black kite,

15any kind of raven,

16the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,

17the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,

18the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,

19the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.

20“All flying insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you.

21Yet you may eat from all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to hop on the earth.

22You may eat from any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket and any kind of grasshopper.

23But all winged creeping things that have four feet are loathsome to you.

24“Moreover, by these also you will become unclean: whoever touches their carcasses should be unclean until the evening.

25Whoever carries any part of their carcass is to wash his clothes, and will be unclean until the evening.

26“Every animal with a separating hoof but not split, or does not chew cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them will become unclean.

27So whatever moves on its paws, among all animals that go on all fours, is unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until the evening.

28Whoever carries their carcasses, is to wash his clothes and will be unclean until the evening. They are unclean to you.

29“Among the creeping things that creep on the earth, the following are unclean to you: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,

30the gecko, the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink and the chameleon.

31Among all that creep these are the ones that are unclean to you. Whoever touches them when they are dead, will be unclean until the evening.
