(Lev 11:1) And the Lord spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
(Lev 11:2) Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These {are} the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that {are} on the earth.
(Lev 11:3) Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, {and} cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
(Lev 11:4) 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.
(Lev 11:5) And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he {is} unclean unto you.
(Lev 11:6) And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he {is} unclean unto you.
(Lev 11:7) And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he {is} unclean to you.
(Lev 11:8) Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they {are} unclean to you.
(Lev 11:9) 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.
(Lev 11:10) 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:
(Lev 11:11) They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
(Lev 11:12) Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that {shall be} an abomination unto you.
(Lev 11:13) 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,
(Lev 11:14) And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
(Lev 11:15) Every raven after his kind;
(Lev 11:16) And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
(Lev 11:17) And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
(Lev 11:18) And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
(Lev 11:19) And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
(Lev 11:20) All fowls that creep, going upon {all} four, {shall be} an abomination unto you.
(Lev 11:21) 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;
(Lev 11:22) {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.
(Lev 11:23) But all {other} flying creeping things, which have four feet, {shall be} an abomination unto you.
(Lev 11:24) And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.
(Lev 11:25) And whosoever beareth {ought} of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
(Lev 11:26) {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.
(Lev 11:27) 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.
(Lev 11:28) And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they {are} unclean unto you.
(Lev 11:29) 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,
(Lev 11:30) And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.
(Lev 11:31) These {are} unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
(Lev 11:32) 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.
(Lev 11:33) And every earthen vessel, whereinto {any} of them falleth, whatsoever {is} in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
(Lev 11:34) 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.
(Lev 11:35) 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.
(Lev 11:36) Nevertheless a fountain or pit, {wherein there is} plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.
(Lev 11:37) And if {any part} of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it {shall be} clean.
(Lev 11:38) But if {any} water be put upon the seed, and {any part} of their carcase fall thereon, it {shall be} unclean unto you.
(Lev 11:39) And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
(Lev 11:40) 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.
(Lev 11:41) And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth {shall be} an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
(Lev 11:42) 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.
(Lev 11:43) Ye shall not make your selves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.
(Lev 11:44) 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.
(Lev 11:45) 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.
(Lev 11:46) 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:
(Lev 11:47) 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.
