Leviticus 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.
