Leviticus

Chapter 11

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts

which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the

cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.

4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or

of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud,

but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

5 And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the

hoof; he is unclean unto you.

6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the

hoof; he is unclean unto you.

7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted,

yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.

8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not

touch; they are unclean to you.

9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath

fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them

shall ye 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; ye shall not eat of

their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.

12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be

an abomination unto you.

13 And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the

fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and

the ossifrage, and the ospray,

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 cuckow, 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,

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 ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth

upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon

the earth;

22 Even these of them ye 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 ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the

carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.

25 And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash

his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

26 The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not

clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that

toucheth them shall be unclean.

27 And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts

that go on all four, those are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their

carcase shall be unclean until the even.

28 And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes,

and be unclean until the even: 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 doth

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

32 And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth 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 even; so it

shall be cleansed.

33 And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth,

whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.

34 Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh

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 carcase falleth

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 toucheth their carcase shall be

unclean.

37 And if any part of their carcase fall 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

carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.

39 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the

carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.

40 And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes,

and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of it

shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

41 And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be

an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

42 Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all

four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep

upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

43 Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing

that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that

ye should be defiled thereby.

44 For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify

yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye

defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon

the earth.

45 For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt,

to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

46 This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every

living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that

creepeth upon the earth:

47 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and

between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be

eaten.
