1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, a‘These are the animals which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth:  
3 Among the animals, whatever divides the hoof, having cloven hooves and chewing the cud—that you may eat.
4 Nevertheless these you shall anot eat among those that chew the cud or those that have cloven hooves: the camel, because it chews the cud but does not have cloven hooves, is1 unclean to you;  
5 the rock hyrax, because it chews the cud but does not have cloven hooves, is2 unclean to you;  
6 the hare, because it chews the cud but does not have cloven hooves, is unclean to you;
7 and the swine, though it divides the hoof, having cloven hooves, yet does not chew the cud, ais unclean to you.  
8 Their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch. aThey are unclean to you.  
9 a‘These you may eat of all that are in the water: whatever in the water has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers—that you may eat.  
10 But all in the seas or in the rivers that do not have fins and scales, all that move in the water or any living thing which is in the water, they are1 an aabomination to you.  
11 They shall be an abomination to you; you shall not eat their flesh, but you shall regard their carcasses as an abomination.
12 Whatever in the water does not have fins or scales—that shall be an abomination to you.
13 a‘And these you shall regard as an abomination among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, the vulture, the buzzard,  
14 the kite, and the falcon after its kind;
15 every raven after its kind,
16 the ostrich, the short-eared owl, the sea gull, and the hawk after its kind;
17 the little owl, the fisher owl, and the screech owl;
18 the white owl, the jackdaw, and the carrion vulture;
19 the stork, the heron after its kind, the hoopoe, and the bat.
20 ‘All flying insects that creep on all fours shall be an abomination to you.
21 Yet these you may eat of every flying insect that creeps on all fours: those which have jointed legs above their feet with which to leap on the earth.
22 These you may eat: athe locust after its kind, the destroying locust after its kind, the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.  
23 But all other flying insects which have four feet shall be an abomination to you.

24 ‘By these you shall become1 unclean; whoever touches the carcass of any of them shall be unclean until evening;  
25 whoever carries part of the carcass of any of them ashall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening:  
26 The carcass of any animal which divides the foot, but is not cloven-hoofed or does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches it shall be unclean.
27 And whatever goes on its paws, among all kinds of animals that go on all fours, those are unclean to you. Whoever touches any such carcass shall be unclean until evening.
28 Whoever carries any such carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening. It is unclean to you.
29 ‘These also shall be unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth: the mole, athe mouse, and the large lizard after its kind;  
30 the gecko, the monitor lizard, the sand reptile, the sand lizard, and the chameleon.
31 These are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever atouches them when they are dead shall be unclean until evening.  
32 Anything on which any of them falls, when they are dead shall be1 unclean, whether it is any item of wood or clothing or skin or sack, whatever item it is, in which any work is done, ait must be put in water. And it shall be unclean until evening; then it shall be clean.  
33 Any aearthen vessel into which any of them falls byou shall break; and whatever is in it shall be unclean:
