Leviticus 11:1-12 ▼

1 And YHWH spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,

2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘This is the living thing that you? may eat from among all the beasts that are on the earth:

3 Every one dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hooves, and bringing up the cud among the beasts, it you? may eat.

4 Nevertheless this you? shall not eat from among the ones bringing up the cud, and from among the ones dividing the hoof: The camel, though it is bringing up the cud, but the hoof it is not dividing—it is unclean to you?.

5 And the rock badger, though it is bringing up the cud, but the hoof it is not dividing—it is unclean to you?.

6 And the hare, though it is bringing up the cud, but the hoof it has not divided—it is unclean to you?.

7 And the swine, though it is dividing the hoof and cleaving the cleft of the hoof, but the cud it does not chew—it is unclean to you?.

8 From their flesh you? shall not eat, and their carcass you? shall not touch—they are unclean to you?.

9 This you? shall eat from all that are in the waters: Everything that has fin and scale in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them you? shall eat.

10 And everything that does not have fin and scale in the seas and in the rivers, from every swarming thing of the waters, and from every living creature that is in the waters—they are an abomination to you?.

11 And an abomination they shall be to you?; from their flesh you? shall not eat, and their carcasses you? shall detest.

12 All that does not have fin and scale in the waters—it is an abomination to you?.
