11:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them:

11:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These [are] the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that [are] on the earth:

11:3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, [and] cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat:

11:4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: [as] the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean unto you:

11:5 And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean unto you:

11:6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean unto you:

11:7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he [is] unclean to you:

11:8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they [are] unclean to you:

11:9 These 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:

11:10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which [is] in the waters, they [shall be] an abomination unto you:

11:11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination:

11:12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that [shall be] an abomination unto you:

11:13 And these [are they which] ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they [are] an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray:

11:14 And the vulture, and the kite after his kind:

11:15 Every raven after his kind:

11:16 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind:

11:17 And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl:

11:18 And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle:

11:19 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat:

11:20 All fowls that creep, going upon [all] four, [shall be] an abomination unto you:

11:21 Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon [all] four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth:

11:22 these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind:

11:23 But all [other] flying creeping things, which have four feet, [shall be] an abomination unto you:

11:24 And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even:

11:25 And whosoever beareth [ought] of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even:

11:26 of every beast which divideth the hoof, and [is] not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, [are] unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean:

11:27 And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on [all] four, those [are] unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even:

11:28 And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they [are] unclean unto you:

11:29 These also [shall be] unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind:

11:30 And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole:

11:31 These [are] unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even:

11:32 And upon whatsoever [any] of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether [it be] any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel [it be], wherein [any] work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed:

11:33 And every earthen vessel, whereinto [any] of them falleth, whatsoever [is] in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it:

11:34 Of all meat which may be eaten, [that] on which [such] water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every [such] vessel shall be unclean:

11:35 And every [thing] whereupon [any part] of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; [whether it be] oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: [for] they [are] unclean, and shall be unclean unto you:

11:36 Nevertheless a fountain or pit, [wherein there is] plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean:

11:37 And if [any part] of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it [shall be] clean:

11:38 But if [any] water be put upon the seed, and [any part] of their carcase fall thereon, it [shall be] unclean unto you:

11:39 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even:

11:40 And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even:

11:41 And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth [shall be] an abomination; it shall not be eaten:

11:42 Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon [all] four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they [are] an abomination:

11:43 Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby:

11:44 For I [am] the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I [am] holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth:

11:45 For I [am] the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I [am] holy:

11:46 This [is] the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:

11:47 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten:
