  • Lev 11:1-9 : 1 The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them, 2 Speak to the Israelites and tell them: These are the living creatures that you may eat among all the animals on the earth: 3 You may eat any animal that has a divided hoof, one completely split, and that chews the cud. 4 But among those that chew the cud or have a divided hoof, you must not eat the camel. Though it chews the cud, it does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean to you. 5 The hyrax, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean to you. 6 The hare, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean to you. 7 And the pig, though it has a divided hoof, completely split, it does not chew the cud; it is unclean to you. 8 You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you. 9 Of all the creatures living in the water, you may eat any that have fins and scales, whether in the seas or the rivers. 10 But all creatures in the seas or streams that do not have fins and scales, all the swarming creatures in the water, and all the living creatures in it, you are to regard as detestable. 11 You must regard them as detestable; you must not eat their meat, and you must detest their carcasses. 12 Anything living in the water that does not have fins and scales is detestable to you. 13 These are the birds you are to regard as detestable and not eat because they are detestable: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture, 14 the kite and any kind of falcon or hawk, 15 any kind of raven. 16 Also the ostrich, the night hawk, the seagull, and any kind of hawk. 17 The little owl, the cormorant, and the great owl. 18 The white owl, the pelican, and the vulture. 19 The stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat. 20 All winged insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you. 21 However, you may eat the following kinds of winged insects that walk on all fours: those that have jointed legs for hopping on the ground. 22 Of them you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket, or grasshopper. 23 But all other winged insects that have four legs are detestable to you. 24 By these you will become unclean: whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until the evening. 25 Anyone who picks up their carcasses must wash their clothes and will be unclean until the evening. 26 Every animal that has a divided hoof but does not chew the cud is unclean to you; whoever touches them will become unclean. 27 All animals that walk on their paws among the creatures that walk on all fours are unclean to you; whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until the evening. 28 Anyone who picks up their carcasses must wash their clothes and will be unclean until the evening. These animals are unclean to you. 29 These are the unclean creatures that swarm on the ground: the mole, the mouse, and any kind of large lizard. 30 The gecko, the monitor lizard, the common lizard, the sand lizard, and the chameleon are unclean to you. 31 These are the unclean creatures that swarm. Whoever touches them when they are dead will be unclean until the evening. 32 Any object upon which one of their dead bodies falls will be unclean, whether it is made of wood, cloth, leather, or sackcloth. Whatever is used to do work must be put into water; it will remain unclean until the evening, then it will be clean. 33 If any of them falls into a clay pot, everything in it will be unclean, and you must break the pot. 34 Any food that could be eaten but has water from such a pot on it will be unclean, and any drink that could be drunk from such a pot will be unclean. 35 Anything on which one of their carcasses falls will become unclean; an oven or cooking stove must be broken. They are unclean, and they will remain unclean to you. 36 But a spring or a cistern containing water will remain clean, though anyone who touches one of their carcasses will become unclean. 37 If one of their carcasses falls on any seed that is to be planted, it is clean. 38 But if water has been put on the seed and one of their carcasses falls on it, it is unclean to you. 39 If any animal that you are allowed to eat dies, anyone who touches its carcass will be unclean until the evening. 40 Anyone who eats from its carcass must wash their clothes and will be unclean until the evening. Anyone who carries its carcass must wash their clothes and will be unclean until the evening. 41 Every swarming creature that moves along the ground is detestable; it must not be eaten. 42 You must not eat any creature that moves on its belly, or walks on four legs, or has many feet. All these swarming creatures that move along the ground are detestable. 43 Do not make yourselves detestable by eating any swarming creature that moves along the ground. Do not defile yourselves with them, for you will become unclean through them. 44 For I am the LORD your God. Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. Do not defile yourselves with any of the swarming creatures that move along the ground. 45 For I am the LORD, who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore, be holy, because I am holy. 46 These are the laws regarding animals, birds, every living creature that moves in the water, and every creature that moves along the ground. 47 You must distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between living creatures that may be eaten and those that may not be eaten.
