Say to the children of Israel: These are the animals which you are to eat of all the living things of the earth.

v3

Whatsoever hath the hoof divided, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, you shall eat.

But whatsoever cheweth indeed the cud, and hath a hoof, but divideth it not, as the camel, and others, that you shall not eat, but shall reckon it among the unclean.

The cherogrillus which cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof, is unclean.

The flesh of these you shall not eat, nor shall you touch their carcasses, because they are unclean to you.

But whatsoever hath not fins and scales, of those things that move and live in the waters, shall be an abomination to you,

Of things that fly, whatsoever goeth upon four feet, shall be abominable to you.

v22

That you shall eat, as the bruchus in its kind, the attacus, and ophiomachus, and the locust, every one according to their kind.

v23

But of dying things whatsoever hath four feet only, shall be an abomination to you:

v24

The shrew, and the chameleon, and the stello, and the lizard, and the mole:

v31

All these are unclean. He that toucheth their carcasses shall be unclean until the evening.

v32

And upon what thing soever any of their carcasses shall fall, it shall be defiled, whether it be a vessel of wood, or a garment, or skins or haircloths; or any thing in which work is done, they shall be dipped in water, and shall be unclean until the evening, and so afterwards shall be clean.

For I am the Lord, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might be your God.

You shall be holy, because I am holy. This is the law of beasts and fowls, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and creepeth on the earth:

v47

That you may know the differences of the clean, and unclean, and know what you ought to eat, and what to refuse.
