11 [1] And Adonoy spoke to Moshe and to Aharon, saying to them: [2] Speak to Bnei Yisroel, saying: these are the living things that you may eat from among all the animals that are on the earth. [3] All that have a cloven hoof, and they [the hooves] are [completely] split and that [also] chews its cud [**brings up dissolved food**] among animals, you may eat it. [4] However, these in particular you may not eat of those that chew [**bring up**] their cud [**dissolved food**] and that have cloven hooves: the camel, for he chews [**brings up**] his cud [**dissolved food**] but does not have a split hoof it is unclean to you. [5] The [**jumping**] rabbit , for it chews [**brings up**] its cud [**dissolved food**] but does not have a cloven hoof it is unclean to you. [6] The hare, for it chews [**brings up**] its cud [**dissolved food**] but it does not have a cloven hoof it is unclean to you. [7] The pig, for though it has cloven hooves, and its hooves are [completely] split—it does not chew [**bring up**] its cud [**dissolved food**]—it is unclean to you. [8] You shall not eat of their flesh and you may not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you. [9] These you may eat, of all things that are in water; all that have fins and scales in the waters, in oceans and in rivers; you may eat them. [10] All that do not have fins and scales [that are] in the oceans and rivers; of any creature that creeps in the water and of any living creature that is in the water; they are repulsive to you. [11] They shall be repulsive to you, you shall not eat of their flesh and their carcasses shall be repulsive by you. [12] Anything which does not have fins and scales in the water, is repulsive to you. [13] These you shall consider repulsive from among the fowl; they may not be eaten; they are repulsive: the eagle, the white-tailed eagle and the bearded vulture. [14] The falcon and the [**tearing**] vulture, to its kind. [15] Every raven, to its kind. [16] The ostrich, the owl, the seagull and the sparrow hawk, to its kind. [17] The little owl, the cormorant [**fish drawer**] and the eagle owl. [18] The horned owl, the pelican and the carrion vulture. [19] The [**white**] stork and the heron, to its kind. The hoopoe [**mountain splitter**] and the bat. [20] All winged insects that walk on four [legs] are repulsive to you. [21] However, these you may eat of all the flying insects that walk on four [legs], those which have knees extending above their legs so that it hops on the ground with them. [22] Of them, these you may eat; the locust, to its kind the *solom*-locust, to its kind, the grasshopper, to its kind and the *chogov*-hopper, to its kind. [23] All flying insects that have four feet are repulsive to you. [24] As for these, [animals], you can be made unclean; all those who touch their carcasses shall be unclean until the evening. [25] Anyone who carries of their carcasses; shall wash his garments and is unclean until the evening. [26] Thus every animal that has cloven hooves but its hooves are not [completely] split and it does not bring up its cud [**dissolved food**], they are unclean to you; all who touch them shall become unclean. [27] All [animals] that walk on their paws among all the living creatures that walk on four legs, they are unclean to you. All who touch their carcasses shall be unclean until the evening. [28] Whoever carries their carcasses shall wash his garments and is unclean until the evening; they are unclean to you. [29] These [also] are unclean to you among all creeping creatures that crawl on the ground; the weasel, the mouse and the toad, to its kind. [30] The hedgehog, the chameleon, the lizard, the slug and the mole. [31] These are unclean to you among all the creeping creatures. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening. [32] Everything, wherever a part of them may fall when they are dead, shall become unclean, such as a wooden vessel, or a garment, or a hide or a sack. Every vessel with which work is done, shall be brought [put] into water, and remains unclean until the evening, [then] it becomes clean. [33] Every earthen vessel into which a part of them may fall, everything that is within it becomes unclean, and you shall break it. [34] Of all foods that are eaten upon which water comes, shall be unclean. Every beverage that is drunk, in any vessel, shall be impure. [35] Everything upon which any part of their carcasses fall, shall be unclean [even] an oven and a hearth shall be shattered, they are unclean and they shall be unclean to you. [36] However, a well-spring and a pit, a gathering of [**place of gathered**] water, shall be pure. [But] that which touches their carcasses shall be unclean. [37] If any part of their carcasses falls on any sowing seed that will be planted, it remains [ritually] clean. [38] If water was once placed on seeds and part of their carcasses fall upon them, they are unclean to you. [39] If any animal dies [of those] that are permitted to eat whoever touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening. [40] Whoever eats of its carcass shall wash his garments and is unclean until the evening. Whoever carries its carcass shall wash his garments and is unclean until the evening. [41] Every creeping creature which crawls on the ground is repulsive, it may not be eaten. [42] Whatever crawls on its belly and whatever goes on four [legs] or whatever has many feet; regarding all creeping creatures that crawl on the ground; you may not eat them, for they are repulsive. [43] Do not make yourselves repulsive by [eating] any creeping creature that crawls, and do not make yourselves unclean with them, for you will become unclean because of them. [44] For I am Adonoy, your God; you shall sanctify yourselves and you shall become holy, for I am Holy and you shall not make yourselves unclean with any creeping creature that crawls on the ground. [45] For I am Adonoy, who brings you up from the land of Egypt to be your God. You shall be holy, for I am Holy. [46] This is the law concerning the animals and the fowl and of all living creatures that swarm in the waters and for all creatures that crawl on the earth. [47] To distinguish between the unclean and between the clean, and between the living creatures which may be eaten and between the living creature which may not be eaten.
