Lev. 11:1‑47• 1And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
2Speak to the children of Israel, saying, These [are] the animals which ye shall eat among all the beasts that [are] on the earth.
3Whatsoever hath cloven hoofs, and feet split open, bringing up the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
4Only these shall ye not eat of those that bring up the cud, or of those with cloven hoofs; the camel, for it bringeth up the cud but hath not cloven hoofs, it [is] unclean to you;
5and the rock-badger, for it bringeth up the cud but hath not cloven hoofs, it [is] unclean to you:
6and the hare, for it bringeth up the cud but hath not cloven hoofs, it [is] unclean to you;
7and the swine, for it hath cloven hoofs and feet split open, but it bringeth not up the cud, it [is] unclean to you.
8Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch, they [are] unclean to you.
9These 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, these shall ye eat.
10But all that have not fins and scales in seas and in rivers, of all that swarm in the waters, and of every living creature that [is] in the waters, they [are] an abomination to you.
11They shall be even an abomination to you: of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcass ye shall have in abomination.
12Whatever in the waters hath no fins and scales, that [shall be] an abomination to you.
13And these ye shall have in abomination among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the osprey, and the sea eagle;
14and the falcon, and the kite after its kind;
15every raven after its kind;
16and the ostrich, and the night hawk, and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind;
17and the owl, and the gannet, and the ibis,
18and the swan, and the pelican, and the vulture,
19and the stork; the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
20Every winged insect (or, crawling thing) that goeth on [all] four [shall be] an abomination unto you.
21Yet these shall ye eat of every winged insect that goeth on [all] four: those that have legs above their feet with which to leap upon the earth.
22These shall ye eat of them: the arbeh after its kind, and the salam after its kind, and the chargol after its kind, and the chagab after its kind.
23But every winged insect that hath four feet [shall be] an abomination unto you.
24And by these ye shall make yourselves unclean: whoever toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the even.
25And whoever carrieth of their carcass shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even.
26Every beast that hath cloven hoofs, but is not quite split open, nor cheweth the cud, shall be unclean to you; everyone that toucheth them shall be unclean.
27And whatever goeth on its paws, among all beasts that go on all four, those are unclean to you: whoever toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the even.
28And he that beareth the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean to you.
29And these shall be unclean to you among the creeping (or swarming) things that creep on the earth: the mole, and the mouse, and the tortoise after its kind;
30and the gecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon.
31These shall be unclean to you among all that creep: whoever toucheth them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even.
32And on whatever any of them when they are dead falleth, it shall be unclean; all vessels of wood, or garment, or skin, or sack, every vessel wherewith work is done, it shall be put into water, and be unclean until the even; then shall it be clean.
33And every earthen vessel, whereunto [any] of them falleth, whatever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
34All food that is eaten on which [such] water hath come shall be unclean, and all drink that is drunk shall be unclean in every [such] vessel.
35And everything whereon [aught] of their carcass falleth shall be unclean; oven or range shall be broken down: they are unclean and shall be unclean to you.
36Nevertheless a spring or a well, a collection of water, shall be clean. But he that toucheth their carcass shall be unclean.
37And if [aught] of their carcass fall on any sowing-seed that is to be sown, it is clean;
38but if water be put on the seed, and [aught] of their carcass fall thereon, it is unclean to you.
39And if any beast die that is to you for food, he that toucheth the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the even;
40and he that eateth of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even; he also that carrieth its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
41{i}And every crawling thing which crawleth on the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.{/i}
42{i}Whatever goeth on the belly, and whatever goeth on all four, and all that have a great many feet, of every manner of crawling thing which crawleth on the earth—these ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.{/i}
43{i}Ye shall not make yourselves abominable through any crawling thing which crawleth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.{/i}
44{i}For I am Jehovah your God; and ye shall hallow yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy; and ye shall not make yourselves unclean through any manner of crawling thing which creepeth on the earth.{/i}
45{i}For I am Jehovah who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.{/i}
46{i}This is the law of cattle, and of fowl, and of every living soul that moveth in the waters, and of every soul that crawleth on the earth;{/i}
47{i}to make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that is to be eaten and the beast that is not to be eaten.{/i} (Lev. 11:1‑47)
Deut. 14:3‑21• 3{i}Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.{/i}
4{i}These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat;{/i}
5{i}the hart, and the gazelle, and the stag, and the wild goat, and the dishon and the oryx, and the wild sheep.{/i}
6{i}And every beast that hath cloven hoofs, and the feet quite split open into double hoofs, and which cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that ye shall eat.{/i}
7{i}Only these ye shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those with hoofs cloven and split open: the camel, and the hare, and the rock-badger; for they chew the cud, but have not cloven hoofs —they shall be unclean unto you;{/i}
8{i}and the swine, for it hath cloven hoofs, yet cheweth not the cud —it shall be unclean unto you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch.{/i}
9{i}These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales shall ye eat;{/i}
10{i}but whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye shall not eat: it shall be unclean unto you.{/i}
11{i}All clean birds shall ye eat.{/i}
12{i}But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle,{/i}
13{i}and the falcon, and the kite, and the black kite after its kind;{/i}
14{i}and every raven after its kind;{/i}
15{i}and the female ostrich, and the male ostrich, and the sea-gull, and the hawk after its kind;{/i}
16{i}the owl, and the ibis and the swan,{/i}
17{i}and the pelican, and the carrion vulture, and the gannet,{/i}
18{i}and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.{/i}
19{i}And every winged crawling thing shall be unclean unto you; they shall not be eaten.{/i}
20{i}All clean fowls shall ye eat.{/i}
21{i}Ye shall eat of no carcass; thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is within thy gates, that he may eat it, or sell it unto a foreigner; for thou art a holy people to Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother's milk.{/i} (Deut. 14:3‑21)
