Leviticus - ch 11 v 1 - 20
- And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
- Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the animals which ye shall eat of all the beasts which are on the earth.
- Whatever hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts -- that shall ye eat.
- Only these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those with cloven hoofs: the camel, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs -- it shall be unclean unto you;
- and the rock-badger, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs -- it shall be unclean unto you;
- and the hare, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs -- it shall be unclean unto you;
- and the swine, for it hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, but it cheweth not the cud -- it shall be unclean unto you.
- Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch: they shall be unclean unto you.
- These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatever hath fins and scales in waters, in seas and in rivers, these shall ye eat;
- but all that have not fins and scales in seas and in rivers, of all that swarm in the waters, and of every living soul which is in the waters -- they shall be an abomination unto you.
- They shall be even an abomination unto you: of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase ye shall have in abomination.
- Whatever in the waters hath no fins and scales, that shall be an abomination unto you.
- And these shall ye have in abomination of the fowls; they shall not be eaten; an abomination shall they be: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle,
- and the falcon, and the kite, after its kind;
- every raven after its kind;
- and the female ostrich and the male ostrich, and the sea-gull, and the hawk, after its kind;
- and the owl, and the gannet, and the ibis,
- and the swan, and the pelican, and the carrion vulture,
- and the stork; the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
- Every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four shall be an abomination unto you.
