versetul 1

Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,


versetul 2

“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘These are the living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth.


versetul 3

Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud among the animals, that you may eat.


versetul 4

“‘Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.


versetul 5

The hyrax, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.


versetul 6

The hare, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.


versetul 7

The pig, because it has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you.


versetul 8

You shall not eat their meat. You shall not touch their carcasses. They are unclean to you.


versetul 9

“‘You may eat of all these that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that you may eat.


versetul 10

All that don’t have fins and scales in the seas and rivers, all that move in the waters, and all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you,


versetul 11

and you shall detest them. You shall not eat of their meat, and you shall detest their carcasses.


versetul 12

Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters is an abomination to you.


versetul 13

“‘You shall detest these among the birds; they shall not be eaten because they are an abomination: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture,


versetul 14

the red kite, any kind of black kite,


versetul 15

any kind of raven,


versetul 16

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


versetul 17

the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,


versetul 18

the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,


versetul 19

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


versetul 20

“‘All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you.


versetul 21

Yet you may eat these: of all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have long, jointed legs for hopping on the earth.


versetul 22

Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper.


versetul 23

But all winged creeping things which have four feet are an abomination to you.


versetul 24

“‘By these you will become unclean: whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.


versetul 25

Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.


versetul 26

“‘Every animal which has a split hoof that isn’t completely divided, or doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean.


versetul 27

Whatever goes on its paws, among all animals that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.


versetul 28

He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. They are unclean to you.


versetul 29

“‘These are they which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,


versetul 30

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


versetul 31

These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening.


versetul 32

Anything they fall on when they are dead shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening. Then it will be clean.


versetul 33

Every earthen vessel into which any of them falls and all that is in it shall be unclean. You shall break it.


versetul 34

All food which may be eaten which is soaked in water shall be unclean. All drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.


versetul 35

Everything whereupon part of their carcass falls shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces. They are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.


versetul 36

Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is gathered shall be clean, but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.


versetul 37

If part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.


versetul 38

But if water is put on the seed, and part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.


versetul 39

“‘If any animal of which you may eat dies, he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.


versetul 40

He who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.


versetul 41

“‘Every creeping thing that creeps on the earth is an abomination. It shall not be eaten.


versetul 42

Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creeping things that creep on the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination.


versetul 43

You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps. You shall not make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled by them.


versetul 44

For I am Yahweh your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy. You shall not defile yourselves with any kind of creeping thing that moves on the earth.


versetul 45

For I am Yahweh who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.


versetul 46

“‘This is the law of the animal, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the earth,


versetul 47

to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.’”
