1	And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying unto them,	And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them,	The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
2	Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, This is the beast which ye do eat out of all the beasts which are on the earth:	“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	any dividing a hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hoofs, bringing up the cud, among the beasts, it ye do eat.	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	Only, this ye do not eat -- of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the hoof -- the camel, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof not dividing -- it is unclean to you;	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	and the rabbit, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof it divideth not -- unclean it is to you;	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	and the hare, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the hoof hath not divided -- unclean it is to you;	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	and the sow, though it is dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hoof, yet the cud it bringeth not up -- unclean it is to you.	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	Of their flesh ye do not eat, and against their carcase ye do not come -- unclean they are to 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	This ye do eat of all which are in the waters; any one that hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the brooks, them ye do eat;	“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	and any one that hath not fins and scales in the seas, and in the brooks, of any teeming creature of the waters, and of any creature which liveth, which is in the waters -- an abomination they are to you;	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	yea, an abomination they are to you; of their flesh ye do not eat, and their carcase ye abominate.	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	Any one that hath not fins and scales in the waters -- an abomination it is 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	And these ye do abominate of the fowl; they are not eaten, an abomination they are: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,	“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	and the vulture, and the kite after its kind,	the kite, the falcon of any kind,	the red kite, any kind of black kite,
15	every raven after its kind,	every raven of any kind,	any kind of raven,
16	and the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after its kind,	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	and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,	the little owl, the cormorant, the short-eared owl,	the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,
18	and the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,	the barn owl, the tawny owl, the carrion vulture,	the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,

20	Every teeming creature which is flying, which is going on four -- an abomination it is 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	'Only -- this ye do eat of any teeming thing which is flying, which is going on four, which hath legs above its feet, to move with them on the earth;	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	these of them ye do eat: the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the beetle after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind;	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	and every teeming thing which is flying, which hath four feet -- an abomination it is 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	'And by these ye are made unclean, any one who is coming against their carcase is unclean till the 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	and anyone who is lifting up aught of their carcase doth wash his garments, and hath been unclean till the 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	even every beast which is dividing the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, and the cud is not bringing up -- unclean they are to you; any one who is coming against 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	And any one going on its paws, among all the beasts which are going on four -- unclean they are to you; any one who is coming against their carcase is unclean until the evening;	And all that walk on their paws, among the animals that go on all fours, are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening,	Of all the animals that walk on all fours, those that walk on their paws are unclean for you; whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean till evening.
28	and he who is lifting up their carcase doth wash his garments, and hath been unclean until the evening -- unclean they are to 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	And this is to you the unclean among the teeming things which are teeming on the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after its kind,	“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	and the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole;	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	'And anything on which any one of them falleth, in their death, is unclean, of any vessel of wood or garment or skin or sack, any vessel in which work is done is brought into water, and hath been unclean till the evening, then it hath been clean;	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	and any earthen vessel, into the midst of which any one of them falleth, all that is in its midst is unclean, and it ye do break.	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	Of all the food which is eaten, that on which cometh such water, is unclean, and all drink which is drunk in any such vessel 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	and anything on which any of their carcase falleth is unclean (oven or double pots), it is broken down, unclean they are, yea, unclean they are to 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.
36	'Only -- a fountain or pit, a collection of water, is clean, but that which is coming against their carcase is unclean;	Nevertheless, a spring or a cistern holding water shall be clean, but whoever touches a carcass in them shall be unclean.	A spring, however, or a cistern for collecting water remains clean, but anyone who touches one of these carcasses is unclean.
37	and when any of their carcase falleth on any sown seed which is sown -- it is clean;	And if any part of their carcass falls upon any seed grain that is to be sown, it is clean,	If a carcass falls on any seeds that are to be planted, they remain clean.
38	and when water is put on the seed, and any of its carcase hath fallen on it -- unclean it is to 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.
39	'And when any of the beasts which are to you for food dieth, he who is coming against its carcase is unclean till the evening;	“And if any animal which you may eat dies, whoever touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening,	“’If an animal that you are allowed to eat dies, anyone who touches its carcass will be unclean till evening.
40	and he who is eating of its carcase doth wash his garments, and hath been unclean till the evening; and he who is lifting up its carcase doth wash his garments, and hath been unclean till the evening.	and whoever eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.

41	'And every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth is an abomination, it is not eaten;	“Every swarming thing that swarms on the ground is detestable; it shall not be eaten.	“’Every creature that moves along the ground is to be regarded as unclean; it is not to be eaten.
42	any thing going on the belly, and any going on four, unto every multiplier of feet, to every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth -- ye do not eat them, for they are an abomination;	Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, any swarming thing that swarms on the ground, you shall not eat, for they are detestable.	You are not to eat any creature that moves along the ground, whether it moves on its belly or walks on all fours or on many feet; it is unclean.
43	ye do not make yourselves abominable with any teeming thing which is teeming, nor do ye make yourselves unclean with them, so that ye have been unclean thereby.	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	For I am Jehovah your God, and ye have sanctified yourselves, and ye have been holy, for I am holy; and ye do not defile your persons with any teeming thing which is creeping on the earth;	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	for I am Jehovah who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt to become your God; and ye have been holy, for 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	This is a law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature which is moving in the waters, and of every creature which is teeming on the earth,	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	to make separation between the unclean and the pure, and between the beast that is eaten, and the beast that is not eaten.'	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.’”
