Leviticus 11:2-23 ▼

2 speake vnto the childre of Israel and saye, these are the beestes whiche ye shall eate amonge all the beestes that are on the erth:

3 what soeuer hath hoffe and dyuydeth it in to two clawes ad cheweth cud among the beestes, that shall ye eate.

4 Neuerthelesse, these shall ye not eate of them that chewe cud and haue hoffes. The camel, for he cheweth cud but he deuydeth not the hoffe in to two clawes therfore he shall be vnclene vnto you.

5 And the Conye, for he cheweth the cud but deuydeth not the hoffe in to two clawes, therfore he is vnclene to you.

6 And the hare, for he likewise cheweth the cud, but deuydeth not the hoffe in to two clawes, he is therfore vnclene to you.

7 And the swyne, for though he deuyde the hoffe in to two clawes, yet he cheweth not the cud ad therfore is vnclene to you,

8 Of their flesh see that ye eate not ad their carkasses se that ye twych not for they are vnclene to you.

9 These shall ye eate of all that are in the waters: what soeuer hath finnes and skales in the waters, sees and ryuers, that shall ye eate.

10 And all that haue not finnes ad skales in the sees ad ryuers of all that moue and lyue in the waters shall ye abhorre.

11 Se that ye eate not of their flesh, ad also that ye abhorre their carkases:

12 for all that haue no finnes nor scales in the waters, sha lbe abhominacion vnto you.

13 These are the foules which ye shall abhorre and which shall not be eaten, for they are an abhominacion. The egle, the gooshauke, the cormoraunte, the kyte,

14 the vultur and all his kynd

15 and all kynde of rauens,

16 the estrich, the nightcrowe, the cocow, the sparowhauke and al the kynde:

17 the litle oule, the storcke, the great oule

18 the backe, the pellicane, the pye,

19 the heron, the Iaye with the kynde, the lappwynge ad the swalowe.

20 And all foules that crepe ad goo apo all iiij. shalbe an abhominacion vnto you.

21 Yet these maye ye eate of all the foules that moue and goo apon .iiij. fete: euen those that haue no knees aboue vppon their fete to lepe with all apon the erthe,

22 euen these of them ye maye eate: the arbe and all his kynde: the Soleam with all his kynde: the Hargol and all the kynde, ad the Hagab ad all his kynd.

23 Al other foules that moue ad haue .iiij. fete, shalbe abhominacion vnto you.
