Leviticus

Chapter 11

1 And Jehovah/God spoke/
'communicated doctrine categorically'
  {dabar - Piel intensive stem}
unto Moses and to Aaron,
saying unto them, 2
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying,
These are the animals/beasts
which you shall eat among all the animals/beasts
that are on the earth.

3 Whatsoever parts the hoof,
and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud,
among the animals/beasts, that shall you eat.

4 Nevertheless these shall you not eat
of them that chew the cud,
or of them that divide the hoof.

As the camel, because he chews the cud,
but divides not the hoof;
he is unclean unto you.

5 And the rock badger/coney/the hyrax,
because he chews the cud,
but divides not the hoof;
he is unclean unto you.

6 And the hare,
because he chews the cud,
but divides not the hoof;
he is unclean unto you.

7 And the swine,
though he divide the hoof,
and be cloven-footed,
yet he chews not the cud;
he is unclean to you.

8 Of their flesh shall you not eat,
and their carcass shall you not touch;
they are unclean to you.

9 These shall you eat of all that are in the waters.

Whatsoever has fins and scales in the waters,
in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall you 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;
you shall not eat of their flesh,
but you shall have their carcasses in abomination.

12 Whatsoever has no fins nor scales in the waters,
that shall be an abomination unto you.

13 And these are they which you shall have in abomination
among the fowls;
they shall not be eaten,
they are an abomination.

The eagle, and the ossifrage/'bearded vulture',
and the osprey, 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 cuckoo,
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'/'carrion vulture', 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 you eat
of every flying creeping thing
that goes upon all four,
which have legs above their feet,
to leap withal upon the earth.

22 Even these of them you 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 you shall be unclean.

Whosoever touches the carcass of them
shall be unclean until the evening.

25 And whosoever bears
any of the carcass of them
shall wash his clothes,
and be unclean until the evening.

26 The carcasses of every animal/beast
which divides the hoof,
and is not cloven-footed,
nor chews the cud,
are unclean unto you.

Every one that touches them shall be unclean.

27 And whatsoever goes upon his paws,
among all manner of animals/beasts
that go on all four,
those are unclean unto you.

Whoso touches their carcass
shall be unclean until the evening.

28 And he who bears the carcass of them
shall wash his clothes,
and be unclean until the evening.

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 does touch them,
when they be dead,
shall be unclean until the evening.

32 And upon whatsoever any of them,
when they are dead, does 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 evening;
so it shall be cleansed.

33 And every earthen vessel,
whereinto any of them falls,
whatsoever is in it shall be unclean;
and you shall break it.

34 Of all food/meat which may be eaten,
that on which such water comes 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 carcass falls 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 touches their carcass shall be unclean.

37 And if any part of their carcass
falls 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 carcass fall thereon,
it shall be unclean unto you.

39 And if any animal/beast,
of which you may eat, die;
he who touches the carcass thereof
shall be unclean until the evening.

40 And he who eats of the carcass of it
shall wash his clothes,
and be unclean until the evening.

He also that bears the carcass of it
shall wash his clothes,
and be unclean until the evening.

41 And every creeping thing
that creeps upon the earth
shall be an abomination;
it shall not be eaten.

42 Whatsoever goes upon the belly,
and whatsoever goes upon all four,
or whatsoever has more feet
among all creeping things
that creep upon the earth,
them you shall not eat;
for they are an abomination.

43 You shall not make yourselves abominable
with any creeping thing that creeps,
neither shall you make yourselves unclean with them,
that you should be defiled thereby.

44 For I am Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead.

You shall therefore sanctify yourselves,
and you shall be holy; for I am holy.

Neither shall you defile yourselves
with any manner of creeping thing
that creeps upon the earth.

45 For I am Jehovah/God
Who brings you up out of the land of Egypt,

to be your 'Elohiym/Godhead.

You shall therefore be holy,
for I am holy.

46 This is the law of the animals/beasts,
and of the fowl, and of every living creature
that moves in the waters,
and of every creature that creeps upon the earth.

47 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean,
and between the animal/beast that may be eaten
and the animal/beast that may not be eaten.
