| 1 | The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, | And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them, | The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, | |
| 2 | |Tell the Israelites: Here are the kinds of land animals you may eat: | “Speak to the people of Israel, saying, These are the living things that you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth. | “Say to the Israelites: ‘Of all the animals that live on land, these are the ones you may eat: | |
| 3 | all animals that have completely divided hoofs and that also chew their cud. | Whatever parts the hoof and is cloven-footed and chews the cud, among the animals, you may eat. | You may eat any animal that has a divided hoof and that chews the cud. | |
| 4 | However, from those that either chew their cud or have divided hoofs, these are the kinds you must never eat: You must never eat camels. (Camels are unclean because they chew their cud but do not have divided hoofs.) | Nevertheless, among those that chew the cud or part the hoof, you shall not eat these: The camel, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean to you. | “’There are some that only chew the cud or only have a divided hoof, but you must not eat them. The camel, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is ceremonially unclean for you. | |
| 5 | You must never eat rock badgers. (Rock badgers are unclean because they chew their cud but do not have divided hoofs.) | And the rock badger, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean to you. | The hyrax, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you. | |
| 6 | You must never eat rabbits. (Rabbits are unclean because they chew their cud but do not have divided hoofs.) | And the hare, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean to you. | The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you. | |
| 7 | You must never eat pigs. (Because pigs have completely divided hoofs but do not chew their cud, they are also unclean.) | And the pig, because it parts the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. | And the pig, though it has a divided hoof, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you. | |
| 8 | Never eat the meat of these animals or touch their dead bodies. They are unclean for you. | You shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you. | You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you. | |
| 9 | |Here are the kinds of creatures that live in the water which you may eat-anything in the seas and streams that has fins and scales. | “These you may eat, of all that are in the waters. Everything in the waters that has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers, you may eat. | “’Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams you may eat any that have fins and scales. | |
| 10 | However, you must consider all swarming creatures living in the seas or the streams that have no fins or scales disgusting. | But anything in the seas or the rivers that does not have fins and scales, of the swarming creatures in the waters and of the living creatures that are in the waters, is detestable to you. | But all creatures in the seas or streams that do not have fins and scales—whether among all the swarming things or among all the other living creatures in the water—you are to regard as unclean. | |
| 11 | They must remain disgusting to you. Never eat their meat. Consider their dead bodies disgusting. | You shall regard them as detestable; you shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall detest their carcasses. | And since you are to regard them as unclean, you must not eat their meat; you must regard their carcasses as unclean. | |
| 12 | Every creature in the water without fins or scales is disgusting to you. | Everything in the waters that does not have fins and scales is detestable to you. | Anything living in the water that does not have fins and scales is to be regarded as unclean by you. | |
| 13 | |Here are the kinds of birds you must consider disgusting and must not eat. They are eagles, bearded vultures, black vultures, | “And these you shall detest among the birds; they shall not be eaten; they are detestable: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture, | “’These are the birds you are to regard as unclean and not eat because they are unclean: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture, | |
| 14 | kites, all types of buzzards, | the kite, the falcon of any kind, | the red kite, any kind of black kite, | |
| 15 | all types of crows, | every raven of any kind, | any kind of raven, | |
| 16 | ostriches, nighthawks, seagulls, all types of falcons, | the ostrich, the nighthawk, the sea gull, the hawk of any kind, | the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk, | |
| 17 | little owls, cormorants, great owls, | the little owl, the cormorant, the short-eared owl, | the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl, | |
| 18 | barn owls, pelicans, ospreys, | the barn owl, the tawny owl, the carrion vulture, | the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey, | |
| 19 | storks, all types of herons, hoopoes, and bats. | the stork, the heron of any kind, the hoopoe, and the bat. | the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe and the bat. | |
| 20 | |Every swarming, winged insect that walks across the ground like a four-legged animal is disgusting to you. | “All winged insects that go on all fours are detestable to you. | “’All flying insects that walk on all fours are to be regarded as unclean by you. | |
| 21 | However, you may eat winged insects that swarm if they use their legs to hop on the ground. | Yet among the winged insects that go on all fours you may eat those that have jointed legs above their feet, with which to hop on the ground. | There are, however, some flying insects that walk on all fours that you may eat: those that have jointed legs for hopping on the ground. | |
| 22 | You may eat any kind of locust, cricket, katydid, or grasshopper. | Of them you may eat: the locust of any kind, the bald locust of any kind, the cricket of any kind, and the grasshopper of any kind. | Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket or grasshopper. | |
| 23 | Every kind of winged insect that walks across the ground like a four-legged animal is disgusting to you. | But all other winged insects that have four feet are detestable to you. | But all other flying insects that have four legs you are to regard as unclean. | |
| 24 | |Regarding the creatures mentioned above, this is how you would become unclean: Whoever touches their dead bodies will be unclean until evening. | “And by these you shall become unclean. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening, | “’You will make yourselves unclean by these; whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean till evening. | |
| 25 | Whoever carries any part of their dead bodies must wash his clothes. He will be unclean until evening. | and whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening. | Whoever picks up one of their carcasses must wash their clothes, and they will be unclean till evening. | |
| 26 | All animals whose hoofs are not completely divided or that don't chew their cud are unclean for you. Whoever touches them is unclean. | Every animal that parts the hoof but is not cloven-footed or does not chew the cud is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean. | “’Every animal that does not have a divided hoof or that does not chew the cud is unclean for you; whoever touches the carcass of any of them will be unclean. | |
| 27 | All four-legged animals that walk on their paws are unclean for you. Whoever touches their dead bodies will be unclean until evening. | And all that walk on their paws, among the animals that go on all fours, are unclean to you.

| 28 | Those who carry the dead body of any of these animals must wash their clothes and will be unclean until evening. These animals are unclean for you. | and he who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean to you. | Anyone who picks up their carcasses must wash their clothes, and they will be unclean till evening. These animals are unclean for you. | |
| 29 | |The following swarming creatures that move on the ground are unclean for you-moles, mice, and all types of lizards: | “And these are unclean to you among the swarming things that swarm on the ground: the mole rat, the mouse, the great lizard of any kind, | “’Of the animals that move along the ground, these are unclean for you: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard, | |
| 30 | geckos, monitors, lizards, skinks, and chameleons. | the gecko, the monitor lizard, the lizard, the sand lizard, and the chameleon. | the gecko, the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink and the chameleon. | |

Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening. | Of all those that move along the ground, these are unclean for you. Whoever touches them when they are dead will be unclean till evening. | |
| 32 | When the dead body of one of these creatures falls on something, that thing will be unclean. It may be a wooden article, clothing, leather, a sack, or anything used for any purpose. It should be put in water and will be unclean until evening. Then it will be clean [again]. | And anything on which any of them falls when they are dead shall be unclean, whether it is an article of wood or a garment or a skin or a sack, any article that is used for any purpose. It must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; then it shall be clean. | When one of them dies and falls on something, that article, whatever its use, will be unclean, whether it is made of wood, cloth, hide or sackcloth. Put it in water; it will be unclean till evening, and then it will be clean. | |
| 33 | |If any of these creatures falls into a piece of pottery, break the pottery because everything in it is unclean. | And if any of them falls into any earthenware vessel, all that is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break it. | If one of them falls into a clay pot, everything in it will be unclean, and you must break the pot. | |
| 34 | If water [from that pottery] touches any food, the food is unclean. Any liquid that you drink from that pottery is unclean. | Any food in it that could be eaten, on which water comes, shall be unclean. And all drink that could be drunk from every such vessel shall be unclean. | Any food you are allowed to eat that has come into contact with water from any such pot is unclean, and any liquid that is drunk from such a pot is unclean. | |
| 35 | Anything on which their dead bodies fall is unclean. If it is an oven or a stove, smash it. It is unclean and will remain unclean for you. | And everything on which any part of their carcass falls shall be unclean. Whether oven or stove, it shall be broken in pieces. They are unclean and shall remain unclean for you. | Anything that one of their carcasses falls on becomes unclean; an oven or cooking pot must be broken up. They are unclean, and you are to regard them as unclean. | |

| 38 | But if water is poured on the seed and their dead bodies fall on it, the seed is unclean for you. | but if water is put on the seed and any part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you. | But if water has been put on the seed and a carcass falls on it, it is unclean for you. | |

| 42 | Don't eat any creature with many legs that goes on its belly or on the ground like a four-legged animal, or any creature that swarms on the ground.

| 43 | Don't become disgusting by eating anything that swarms on the ground. Never allow yourselves to become unclean because of them. | You shall not make yourselves detestable with any swarming thing that swarms, and you shall not defile yourselves with them, and become unclean through them. | Do not defile yourselves by any of these creatures. Do not make yourselves unclean by means of them or be made unclean by them. | |
| 44 | |Here is the reason: I am the LORD your God. You must live holy lives. Be holy because I am holy. Never become unclean by touching anything that swarms or crawls on the ground. | For I am the LORD your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy. You shall not defile yourselves with any swarming thing that crawls on the ground. | I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. Do not make yourselves unclean by any creature that moves along the ground. | |
| 45 | Here is the reason [again]: I am the LORD. I brought you out of Egypt to be your God. Be holy because I am holy. | For I am the LORD who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.” | I am the LORD, who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy. | |
| 46 | |These are the instructions about animals, birds, and every living creature that swims in the water and every creature that swarms on the ground. | This is the law about beast and bird and every living creature that moves through the waters and every creature that swarms on the ground, | “’These are the regulations concerning animals, birds, every living thing that moves about in the water and every creature that moves along the ground. | |
| 47 | These instructions help you distinguish between clean and unclean, the animals you may eat and those you may not eat.| | to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean and between the living creature that may be eaten and the living creature that may not be eaten. | You must distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between living creatures that may be eaten and those that may not be eaten.’” | |
