chapter 11
1
And
the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
2 Say to the children of Israel: These are the animals
which you are to eat of all the living things of the earth.
3 Whatsoever hath the hoof divided, and cheweth the cud
among the beasts, you shall eat.
4 But whatsoever cheweth indeed the cud, and hath a
hoof, but divideth it not, as the camel, and others, that you shall not eat,
but shall reckon it among the unclean.
5 The cherogrillus which cheweth the cud, but divideth
not the hoof, is unclean.
6 The hare also: for that too cheweth the cud, but
divideth not the hoof.
7 And the swine, which, though it divideth the hoof,
cheweth not the cud.
8 The flesh of these you shall not eat, nor shall you
touch their carcasses, because they are unclean to you.
9 These are the things that breed in the waters, and
which it is lawful to eat. All that hath fins, and scales, as well in the sea,
as in the rivers, and the pools, you shall eat.
10 But whatsoever hath not fins and scales, of those
things that move and live in the waters, shall be an abomination to you,
11 And detestable : their flesh you shall not eat, and
their carcasses you shall avoid.
12 All that have not fins and scales, in the waters,
shall be unclean.
13 Of birds these are they which you must not eat, and
which are to be avoided by you: The eagle, and the griffon, and the osprey,
14 And the kite, and the vulture, according to their
kind,
15 And all that is of the raven kind, according to
their likeness.
16 The ostrich, and the owl, and the larus, and the
hawk according to its kind.
17 The screech owl, and the cormorant, and the ibis,
18 And the swan, and the bittern, and the porphyrion,
19 The heron, and the charadrion according to its kind,
the houp also, and the bat.
20 Of things that fly, whatsoever goeth upon four feet,
shall be abominable to you.
21 But whatsoever walketh upon four feet, but hath the
legs behind longer, wherewith it hoppeth upon the earth,
22 That you shall eat, as the bruchus in its kind, the
attacus, and ophiomachus, and the locust, every one according to their kind.
23 But of dying things whatsoever hath four feet only,
shall be an abomination to you:
24 And whosoever shall touch the carcasses of them,
shall be defiled, and shall be unclean until the evening:
25 And if it be necessary that he carry any of these
things when they are dead, he shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean
until the sun set.
26 Every beast that hath a hoof, but divideth it not,
nor cheweth the cud, shall be unclean: and he that toucheth it, shall be
defiled.
27 That which walketh upon hands of all animals which
go on all four, shall be unclean: he that shall touch their carcasses shall be
defiled until evening.
28 And he that shall carry such carcasses, shall wash
his clothes, and shall be unclean until evening: because all these things are
unclean to you.
29 These also shall be reckoned among unclean things,
of all that move upon the earth, the weasel, and the mouse, and the crocodile,
every one according to their kind:
30 The shrew, and the chameleon, and the stello, and
the lizard, and the mole:
31All these are unclean. He that toucheth their
carcasses shall be unclean until the evening.
32 And upon what thing soever any of their carcasses
shall fall, it shall be defiled, whether it be a vessel of wood, or a garment,
or skins or haircloths; or any thing in which work is done, they shall be
dipped in water, and shall be unclean until the evening, and so afterwards
shall be clean.
33 But an earthen vessel, into which any of these shall
fall, shall be defiled, and therefore is to be broken.
34 Any meat which you eat, if water from such a
vessel be poured upon it, shall be unclean; and every liquor that is drunk
out of any such vessel, shall be unclean.
35 And upon whatsoever thing any of these dead beasts
shall fall, it shall be unclean: whether it be oven, or pots with feet, they
shall be destroyed, and shall be unclean.
36 But fountains and cisterns, and all gatherings
together of waters shall be clean. He that toucheth their carcasses shall be
defiled.
37 If it fall upon seed corn, it shall not defile it.
38 But if any man pour water upon the seed, and
afterwards it be touched by the carcasses, it shall be forthwith defiled.
39 If any beast die, of which it is lawful for you to
eat, he that toucheth the carcass thereof, shall be unclean until the evening:
40 And he that eateth or carrieth any thing thereof,
shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the evening.
41All that creepeth upon the earth shall be abominable,
neither shall it be taken for meat.
42 Whatsoever goeth upon the breast on four feet, or
hath many feet, or traileth on the earth, you shall not eat, because it is
abominable.
43 Do not defile your souls, nor touch aught thereof,
lest you be unclean,
44 For I am the Lord your God: be holy because I am
holy. Defile not your souls by any creeping thing, that moveth upon the earth.
45 For I am the Lord, who brought you out of the land
of Egypt, that I might be your God.
46 You shall be holy, because I am holy. This is the
law of beasts and fowls, and of every living creature that moveth in the
waters, and creepeth on the earth:
47 That you may know the differences of the clean, and
unclean, and know what you ought to eat, and what to refuse.
