11:1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron,
saying,
11:2 Speak ye to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye
shall eat of all beasts that are upon the earth.
11:3 Every beast parting the hoof and making divisions of two claws, and
chewing the cud among beasts, these ye shall eat.
11:4 But of these ye shall not eat, of those that chew the cud, and of those
that part the hoofs, and divide claws; the camel, because it chews the cud,
but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.
11:5 And the rabbit, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof,
this is unclean to you.
11:6 And the hare, because it does not chew the cud, and does not divide the
hoof, this is unclean to you.
11:7 And the swine, because this [animal] divides the hoof, and makes claws
of the hoof, and it does not chew the cud, is unclean to you.
11:8 Ye shall not eat of their flesh, and ye shall not touch their carcases;
these are unclean to you.
11:9 And these [are] what ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all
things that have fins and scales in the waters, and in the seas, and in the
brooks, these ye shall eat.
11:10 And all things which have not fins or scales in the water, or in the
seas, and in the brooks, of all which the waters produce, and of every soul
living in the water, are an abomination; and they shall be abominations to
you.
11:11 Ye shall not eat of their flesh, and ye shall abhor their carcases.
11:12 And all things that have not fins or scales of those that are in the
waters, these are an abomination to you.
11:13 And these are the things which ye shall abhor of birds, an they shall
not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle and the ossifrage, and the
sea-eagle.
11:14 And the vulture, and the kite, and the like to it;
11:15 and the sparrow, and the owl, and the sea-mew, and the like to it:
11:16 and every raven, and the birds like it, and the hawk and his like,
11:17 and the night-raven and the cormorant and the stork,
11:18 and the red-bill, and the pelican, and swan,
11:19 and the heron, and the lapwing, and the like to it, and the hoopoe and
the bat.
11:20 And all winged creatures that creep, which go upon four feet, are
abominations to you.
11:21 But these ye shall eat of the creeping winged animals, which go upon
four feet, which have legs above their feet, to leap with on the earth.
11:22 And these of them ye shall eat: the caterpillar and his like, and the
attacus and his like, and the cantharus and his like, and the locust and his
like.
11:23 Every creeping thing from among the birds, which has four feet, is an
abomination to you.
11:24 And by these ye shall be defiled; every one that touches their
carcases shall be unclean till the evening.
11:25 And every one that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments,
and shall be unclean till the evening.
11:26 And whichever among the beasts divides the hoof and makes claws, and
does not chew the cud, shall be unclean to you; every one that touches their
dead bodies shall be unclean till evening.
11:27 And every one among all the wild beasts that moves upon its fore feet,
which goes on all four, is unclean to you; every one that touches their dead
bodies shall be unclean till evening.
11:28 And he that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and
shall be unclean till evening: these are unclean to you.
11:29 And these [are] unclean to you of reptiles upon the earth, the weasel,
and the mouse, and the lizard,
11:30 the ferret, and the chameleon, and the evet, and the newt, and the
mole.
11:31 These are unclean to you of all the reptiles which are on the earth;
every one who touches their carcases shall be unclean till evening.
11:32 And on whatsoever one of their dead bodies shall fall it shall be
unclean; whatever wooden vessel, or garment, or skin, or sack it may be,
every vessel in which work should be done, shall be dipped in water, and
shall be unclean till evening; and [then] it shall be clean.
11:33 And every earthen vessel into which one of these things shall fall,
whatsoever is inside it, shall be unclean, and it shall be broken.
11:34 And all food that is eaten, on which water shall come [from such a
vessel], shall be unclean; and every beverage which is drunk in any [such]
vessel, shall be unclean.
11:35 And every thing on which there shall fall of their dead bodies shall
be unclean; ovens and stands for jars shall be broken down: these are
unclean, and they shall be unclean to you.
11:36 Only [if the water be] of fountains of water, or a pool, or confluence
of water, it shall be clean; but he that touches their carcases shall be
unclean.
11:37 And if one of their carcases should fall upon any sowing seed which
shall be sown, it shall be clean.
11:38 But if water be poured on any seed, and one of their dead bodies fall
upon it, it is unclean to you.
11:39 And if one of the cattle die, which it is lawful for you to eat, he
that touches their carcases shall be unclean till evening.
11:40 And he that eats of their carcases shall wash his garments, and be
unclean till evening; and he that carries any of their carcases shall wash
his garments, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean till evening.
11:41 And every reptile that creeps on the earth, this shall be an
abomination to you; it shall not be eaten.
11:42 And every [animal] that creeps on its belly, and every one that goes
on four [feet] continually, which abounds with feet among all the reptiles
creeping upon the earth-- ye shall not eat it, for it is an abomination to
you.
11:43 And ye shall not defile your souls with any of the reptiles that creep
upon the earth, and ye shall not be polluted with them, and ye shall not be
unclean by them.
1:44 For I am the Lord your God; and ye shall be sanctified, and ye shall be
holy, because I the Lord your God am holy; and ye shall not defile your
souls with any of the reptiles creeping upon the earth.
11:45 For I am the Lord who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to be
your God; and ye shall be holy, for I the Lord am holy.
11:46 This is the law concerning beasts and birds and every living creature
moving in the water, and every living creature creeping on the earth;
11:47 to distinguish between the unclean and the clean; and between those
that bring forth alive, such as should be eaten, and those that bring forth
alive, such as should not be eaten. |
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 cloven-footed, 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 cloven-footed, yet he
cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
11:8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass 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 carcasses 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 cuckoo, 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 Even 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 carcass of
them shall be unclean until the even.
11:25 And whosoever beareth ought of the carcass of them shall wash his
clothes, and be unclean until the even.
11:26 The carcasses of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not
cloven-footed, 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 carcass shall
be unclean until the even.
11:28 And he that beareth the carcass 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 carcass 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 carcass shall be unclean.
11:37 And if any part of their carcass 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 carcass
fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
11:39 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the
carcass thereof shall be unclean until the even.
11:40 And he that eateth of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be
unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcass 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. |
