Leviticus 11 (WEBP)

[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.’ ”

Young’s Literal Translation

Leviticus 11 (YLT)

[1] And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying unto them,
[2] ‘Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, This is the beast which ye do eat out of all the beasts which are on the earth:
[3] any dividing a hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hoofs, bringing up the cud, among the beasts, it ye do eat.
[4] ‘Only, this ye do not eat-of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the hoof-the camel, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof not dividing-it is unclean to you;
[5] and the rabbit, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof it divideth not-unclean it is to you;
[6] and the hare, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof hath not divided-unclean it is to you;
[7] and the sow, though it is dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hoof, yet the cud it bringeth not up-unclean it is to you.
[8] ‘Of their flesh ye do not eat, and against their carcase ye do not come-unclean they are to you.
[9] ‘This ye do eat of all which are in the waters; any one that hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the brooks, them ye do eat;
[10] and any one that hath not fins and scales in the seas, and in the brooks, of any teeming creature of the waters, and of any creature which liveth, which is in the waters-an abomination they are to you;
[11] yea, an abomination they are to you; of their flesh ye do not eat, and their carcase ye abominate.
[12] ‘Any one that hath not fins and scales in the waters-an abomination it is to you.
[13] ‘And these ye do abominate of the fowl; they are not eaten, an abomination they are: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
[14] and the vulture, and the kite after its kind,
[15] every raven after its kind,
[16] and the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after its 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 its kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
[20] ‘Every teeming creature which is flying, which is going on four-an abomination it is to you.
[21] ‘Only-this ye do eat of any teeming thing which is flying, which is going on four, which hath legs above its feet, to move with them on the earth;
[22] these of them ye do eat: the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the beetle after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind;
[23] and every teeming thing which is flying, which hath four feet-an abomination it is to you.
[24] ‘And by these ye are made unclean, any one who is coming against their carcase is unclean till the evening;
[25] and anyone who is lifting up aught of their carcase doth wash his garments, and hath been unclean till the evening:-
[26] even every beast which is dividing the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, and the cud is not bringing up-unclean they are to you; any one who is coming against them is unclean.
[27] ‘And any one going on its paws, among all the beasts which are going on four-unclean they are to you; any one who is coming against their carcase is unclean until the evening;
[28] and he who is lifting up their carcase doth wash his garments, and hath been unclean until the evening-unclean they are to you.
[29] ‘And this is to you the unclean among the teeming things which are teeming on the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after its kind,
[30] and the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole;
[31] these are the unclean to you among all which are teeming; any one who is coming against them in their death is unclean till the evening.
[32] ‘And anything on which any one of them falleth, in their death, is unclean, of any vessel of wood or garment or skin or sack, any vessel in which work is done is brought into water, and hath been unclean till the evening, then it hath been clean;
[33] and any earthen vessel, into the midst of which any one of them falleth, all that is in its midst is unclean, and it ye do break.
[34] ‘Of all the food which is eaten, that on which cometh such water, is unclean, and all drink which is drunk in any such vessel is unclean;
[35] and anything on which any of their carcase falleth is unclean (oven or double pots), it is broken down, unclean they are, yea, unclean they are to you.
[36] ‘Only-a fountain or pit, a collection of water, is clean, but that which is coming against their carcase is unclean;
[37] and when any of their carcase falleth on any sown seed which is sown-it is clean;
[38] and when water is put on the seed, and any of its carcase hath fallen on it-unclean it is to you.
[39] ‘And when any of the beasts which are to you for food dieth, he who is coming against its carcase is unclean till the evening;
[40] and he who is eating of its carcase doth wash his garments, and hath been unclean till the evening; and he who is lifting up its carcase doth wash his garments, and hath been unclean till the evening.
[41] ‘And every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth is an abomination, it is not eaten;
[42] any thing going on the belly, and any going on four, unto every multiplier of feet, to every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth-ye do not eat them, for they are an abomination;
[43] ye do not make yourselves abominable with any teeming thing which is teeming, nor do ye make yourselves unclean with them, so that ye have been unclean thereby.
[44] ‘For I am Jehovah your God, and ye have sanctified yourselves, and ye have been holy, for I am holy; and ye do not defile your persons with any teeming thing which is creeping on the earth;
[45] for I am Jehovah who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt to become your God; and ye have been holy, for I am holy.
[46] ‘This is a law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature which is moving in the waters, and of every creature which is teeming on the earth,
[47] to make separation between the unclean and the pure, and between the beast that is eaten, and the beast that is not eaten.’
