chevron_left

1
And the
L
ORD
spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
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.
3
Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted,
and
cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
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.
5
And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he
is
unclean unto you.
6
And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he
is
unclean unto you.
7
And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he
is
unclean to you.
8
Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they
are
unclean to you.
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.
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
They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that
shall be
an abomination unto you.
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,
14
And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
15
Every raven after his kind;
16
And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
17
And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
18
And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
19
And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
20
All fowls that creep, going upon
all
four,
shall be
an abomination unto you.
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;
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.
23
But all
other
flying creeping things, which have four feet,
shall be
an abomination unto you.
24
And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.
25
And whosoever beareth
ought
of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
26
The carcases
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.
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.
28
And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they
are
unclean unto you.
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,
30
And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.
31
These
are
unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
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.
33
And every earthen vessel, whereinto
any
of them falleth, whatsoever
is
in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
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.
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.
36
Nevertheless a fountain or pit,
wherein there is
plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.
37
And if
any part
of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it
shall be
clean.
38
But if
any
water be put upon the seed, and
any part
of their carcase fall thereon, it
shall be
unclean unto you.
39
And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
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.
41
And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth
shall be
an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
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.
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.
44
For I
am
the
L
ORD
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.
45
For I
am
the
L
ORD
that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I
am
holy.
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:
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.
