[1] Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them, [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. [3] Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud among the animals, that you may eat. [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. [5] The hyrax,§ because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you. [6] The hare, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you. [7] The pig, because it has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you. [8] You shall not eat their meat. You shall not touch their carcasses. They are unclean to you. [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. [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, [11] and you shall detest them. You shall not eat of their meat, and you shall detest their carcasses. [12] Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters is an abomination to you. [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, [14] the red kite, any kind of black kite, [15] any kind of raven, [16] the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk, [17] the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl, [18] the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey, [19] the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat. [20] “ ‘All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you. [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. [22] Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper. [23] But all winged creeping things which have four feet are an abomination to you. [24] “ ‘By these you will become unclean: whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening. [25] Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. [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. [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. [28] He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. They are unclean to you. [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, [30] the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the chameleon. [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. [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. [33] Every earthen vessel into which any of them falls and all that is in it shall be unclean. You shall break it. [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. [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. [36] Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is gathered shall be clean, but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean. [37] If part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean. [38] But if water is put on the seed, and part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you. [39] “ ‘If any animal of which you may eat dies, he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening. [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. [41] “ ‘Every creeping thing that creeps on the earth is an abomination. It shall not be eaten. [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. [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. [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. [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. [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, [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.’ ”

Things Clean and Unclean

[1] And the Lord H3068 spake H1696 (PielImpf) unto Moses H4872 and to Aaron, H175 saying H559 (QalInf) unto them, [2] Speak H1696 (PielImpv) unto the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 saying, H559 (QalInf) These H2063 are the beasts H2416 which ye shall eat H398 (QalImpf) among all the beasts H929 that are on the earth. H776

Food

[3] Whatsoever parteth H6536 (HiphPtc) the hoof, H6541 and is clovenfooted, H8156 (QalActPtc) and cheweth H5927 (HiphPtc) the cud, H1625 among the beasts, H929 that shall ye eat. H398 (QalImpf) [4] Nevertheless H389 these shall ye not eat H398 (QalImpf) of them that chew H5927 (HiphPtc) the cud, H1625 or of them that divide H6536 (HiphPtc) the hoof: H6541 as the camel, H1581 because he cheweth H5927 (HiphPtc) the cud, H1625 but divideth H6536 (HiphPtc) not the hoof; H6541 he is unclean H2931 unto you. [5] And the coney, H8227 because he cheweth H5927 (HiphPtc) the cud, H1625 but divideth H6536 (HiphImpf) not the hoof; H6541 he is unclean H2931 unto you. [6] And the hare, H768 because he cheweth H5927 (HiphPtc) the cud, H1625 but divideth H6536 (HiphPerf) not the hoof; H6541 he is unclean H2931 unto you. [7] And the swine, H2386 though he divide H6536 (HiphPtc) the hoof, H6541 and be clovenfooted, H8156 (QalActPtc) yet he cheweth H1641 (NiphImpf) not the cud; H1625 he is unclean H2931 to you. [8] Of their flesh H1320 shall ye not eat, H398 (QalImpf) and their carcase H5038 shall ye not touch; H5060 (QalImpf) they are unclean H2931 to you. [9] These shall ye eat H398 (QalImpf) of all that are in the waters: H4325 whatsoever hath fins H5579 and scales H7193 in the waters, H4325 in the seas, H3220 and in the rivers, H5158 them shall ye eat. H398 (QalImpf) [10] And all that have not fins H5579 and scales H7193 in the seas, H3220 and in the rivers, H5158 of all that move H8318 in the waters, H4325 and of any living H2416 thing H5315 which is in the waters, H4325 they shall be an abomination H8263 unto you: [11] they shall be even an abomination H8263 unto you; ye shall not eat H398 (QalImpf) of their flesh, H1320 but ye shall have their carcases H5038 in abomination. H8262 (PielImpf) [12] Whatsoever hath no fins H5579 nor scales H7193 in the waters, H4325 that shall be an abomination H8263 unto you. [13] And these are they which ye shall have in abomination H8262 (PielImpf) among H4480 the fowls; H5775 they shall not be eaten, H398 (NiphImpf) they are an abomination: H8263 the eagle, H5404 and the ossifrage, H6538 and the ospray, H5822 [14] and the vulture, H1676 and the kite H344 after his kind; H4327 [15] every raven H6158 after his kind; H4327 [16] and the owl, H1323 and the night hawk, H8464 and the cuckow, H7828 and the hawk H5322 after his kind, H4327 [17] and the little owl, H3563 and the cormorant, H7994 and the great owl, H3244 [18] and the swan, H8580 and the pelican, H6893 and the gier eagle, H7360 [19] and the stork, H2624 the heron H601 after her kind, H4327 and the lapwing, H1744 and the bat. H5847 [20] All fowls H5775 that creep, H8318 going H1980 (QalActPtc) upon all four, H702 shall be an abomination H8263 unto you. [21] Yet these may ye eat H398 (QalImpf) of every flying H5775 creeping H8318 thing that goeth H1980 (QalActPtc) upon all four, H702 which have legs H3767 above H4605 their feet, H7272 to leap H5425 (PielInf) withal H2004 upon the earth; H776 [22] even these of them ye may eat; H398 (QalImpf) the locust H697 after his kind, H4327 and the bald locust H5556 after his kind, H4327 and the beetle H2728 after his kind, H4327 and the grasshopper H2284 after his kind. H4327 [23] But all other flying H5775 creeping things, H8318 which have four H702 feet, H7272 shall be an abomination H8263 unto you. [24] And for these ye shall be unclean: H2930 (HithImpf) whosoever toucheth H5060 (QalActPtc) the carcase H5038 of them shall be unclean H2930 (QalImpf) until the even. H6153 [25] And whosoever beareth H5375 (QalActPtc) ought of the carcase H5038 of them shall wash H3526 (PielImpf) his clothes, H899 and be unclean H2930 (QalPerf) until the even. H6153 [26] The carcases of every beast H929 which divideth H6536 (HiphPtc) the hoof, H6541 and is not clovenfooted, H8157 nor cheweth H5927 (HiphPtc) the cud, H1625 are unclean H2931 unto you: every one that toucheth H5060 (QalActPtc) them shall be unclean. H2930 (QalImpf) [27] And whatsoever H3605 goeth H1980 (QalActPtc) upon his paws, H3709 among all manner of beasts H2416 that go H1980 (QalActPtc) on all four, H702 those are unclean H2931 unto you: whoso toucheth H5060 (QalActPtc) their carcase H5038 shall be unclean H2930 (QalImpf) until the even. H6153 [28] And he that beareth H5375 (QalActPtc) the carcase H5038 of them shall wash H3526 (PielImpf) his clothes, H899 and be unclean H2930 (QalPerf) until the even: H6153 they are unclean H2931 unto you. [29] These also shall be unclean H2931 unto you among the creeping things H8318 that creep H8317 (QalActPtc) upon the earth; H776 the weasel, H2467 and the mouse, H5909 and the tortoise H6632 after his kind, H4327 [30] and the ferret, H604 and the chameleon, H3581 and the lizard, H3911 and the snail, H2546 and the mole. H8580 [31] These are unclean H2931 to you among all that creep: H8318 whosoever doth touch H5060 (QalActPtc) them, when they be dead, H4194 shall be unclean H2930 (QalImpf) until the even. H6153 [32] And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, H4194 doth fall, H5307 (QalImpf) it shall be unclean; H2930 (QalImpf) whether it be any vessel H3627 of wood, H6086 or raiment, H899 or skin, H5785 or sack, H8242 whatsoever vessel H3627 it be, wherein any work H4399 is done, H6213 (NiphImpf) it must be put H935 (HophImpf) into water, H4325 and it shall be unclean H2930 (QalPerf) until the even; H6153 so it shall be cleansed. H2891 (QalPerf) [33] And every earthen H2789 vessel, H3627 whereinto any of them falleth, H5307 (QalImpf) whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; H2930 (QalImpf) and ye shall break H7665 (QalImpf) it. [34] Of all meat H400 which may be eaten, H398 (NiphImpf) that on which such water H4325 cometh H935 (QalImpf) shall be unclean: H2930 (QalImpf) and all drink H4945 that may be drunk H8354 (NiphImpf) in every such vessel H3627 shall be unclean. H2930 (QalImpf) [35] And every thing whereupon any part of their carcase H5038 falleth H5307 (QalImpf) shall be unclean; H2930 (QalImpf) whether it be oven, H8574 or ranges H3600 for pots, they shall be broken down: H5422 (HophImpf) for they are unclean, H2931 and shall be unclean H2931 unto you. [36] Nevertheless a fountain H4599 or pit, H953 wherein there is plenty H4723 of water, H4325§ shall be clean: H2889 but that which toucheth H5060 (QalActPtc) their carcase H5038 shall be unclean. H2930 (QalImpf) [37] And if any part of their carcase H5038 fall H5307 (QalImpf) upon any sowing H2221 seed H2233 which is to be sown, H2232 (NiphImpf) it shall be clean. H2889 [38] But if any water H4325 be put H5414 (HophImpf) upon the seed, H2233 and any part of their carcase H5038 fall H5307 (QalPerf) thereon, it shall be unclean H2931 unto you. [39] And if any beast, H929 of which ye may eat, H402 die; H4191 (QalImpf) he that toucheth H5060 (QalActPtc) the carcase H5038 thereof shall be unclean H2930 (QalImpf) until the even. H6153 [40] And he that eateth H398 (QalActPtc) of the carcase H5038 of it shall wash H3526 (PielImpf) his clothes, H899 and be unclean H2930 (QalPerf) until the even: H6153 he also that beareth H5375 (QalActPtc) the carcase H5038 of it shall wash H3526 (PielImpf) his clothes, H899 and be unclean H2930 (QalPerf) until the even. H6153 [41] And every creeping thing H8318 that creepeth H8317 (QalActPtc) upon the earth H776 shall be an abomination; H8263 it shall not be eaten. H398 (NiphImpf) [42] Whatsoever goeth H1980 (QalActPtc) upon the belly, H1512 and whatsoever goeth H1980 (QalActPtc) upon all four, H702 or whatsoever hath more H7235 (HiphPtc) feet H7272§ among all creeping things H8318 that creep H8317 (QalActPtc) upon the earth, H776 them ye shall not eat; H398 (QalImpf) for they are an abomination. H8263 [43] Ye shall not make H8262 yourselves H5315§ abominable H8262 (PielImpf) with any creeping thing H8318 that creepeth, H8317 (QalActPtc) neither shall ye make yourselves unclean H2933 (NiphPerf) with them, that ye should be defiled H2930 (HithImpf) thereby. [44] For I am the Lord H3068 your God: H430 ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, H6942 (HithPerf) and ye shall be holy; H6918 for I am holy: H6918 neither shall ye defile H2930 (PielImpf) yourselves H5315 with any manner of creeping thing H8318 that creepeth H7430 (QalActPtc) upon the earth. H776 [45] For I am the Lord H3068 that bringeth H5927 (HiphPtc) you up out of the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 to be your God: H430 ye shall therefore be holy, H6918 for I am holy. H6918 [46] This is the law H8451 of the beasts, H929 and of the fowl, H5775 and of every living H2416 creature H5315 that moveth H7430 (QalActPtc) in the waters, H4325 and of every creature H5315 that creepeth H8317 (QalActPtc) upon the earth: H776 [47] to make a difference H914 (HiphInf) between the unclean H2931 and the clean, H2889 and between the beast H2416 that may be eaten H398 (NiphPtc) and the beast H2416 that may not be eaten. H398 (NiphImpf)
