1The LORD spoke again to Moses and Aaron, telling them,
2"Say to the Israelites, 'Of all the beasts of the earth, these ones you may eat:
“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the creatures which you may eat from all of the animals that are on the earth.”
“Speak unto the children of Israel saying, these are the beasts or the living things which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.”
3You may eat any animal that has a split hoof completely divided and that chews the cud.
“Whatever divides the hook, thus making split hooks, and chews the cud among the animals that you may eat.”
“Whatsoever parteth the hoof and is cloven -footed and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that shall ye eat.”
4But of those that only chew the cud or only have a divided hoof, you are not to eat the following: The camel, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.
“Nevertheless, these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud or of them that divide the hoof. As the camel, because he cheweth the cud but divideth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.”
“Nevertheless, among those that chew the cud or part the hoof, you shall not eat these. The camel, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, it is unclean to you.”
“Nevertheless, you are not to eat of these animals, among those which chew the cud, or among those which divide the hoof. The camel, for though it chews cud, it does not divide the hoof. It is unclean to you.”
5The rock badger, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.
“And the coney, because he cheweth the cud but divideth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.”
“Likewise, the rock badger, for though it chews cud, it does not divide the hook. It is unclean to you.”
6The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.
“The rabbit also, for though it chews cud, it does not divide the hook. It is unclean to you.”
“And the hare, because he cheweth the cud and divided not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.”
7And the pig, though it has a split hoof completely divided, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you.
“And the pig, for though it divides the hoof, thus making a split hook, it does not chew cud. It is unclean to you.”
8You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.
“You shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their carcasses, they are unclean to you.”
9Of all the creatures that live in the water, whether in the seas or in the streams, you may eat anything with fins and scales.
“These you may eat, whatever is in the water, all that have fins and scales, those in the water, in the seas, or in the rivers, you may eat.”
“These shall ye eat of that which are in the waters. Whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, and in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.”
“These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters. Whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, in the rivers, that shall ye eat.”
10But the following among all the teeming life and creatures in the water are detestable to you: everything in the seas or streams that does not have fins and scales.
“But whatever is in the seas and in the rivers that do not have fins and scales among all the teeming life of the water, and among all the living creatures that are in the water, they are detestable things to you,”
11They shall be an abomination to you; you must not eat their meat, and you must detest their carcasses.
“and they shall be abhorrent to you. You may not eat of their flesh and their carcasses, you shall detest.”
12Everything in the water that does not have fins and scales shall be detestable to you.
“Whatever in the water does not have fins and scales is abhorrent to you.”
13Additionally, you are to detest the following birds, and they must not be eaten because they are detestable: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture,
“These moreover you shall detest among the birds, they are abhorrent not to be eaten. The eagle, the vulture, the buzzard, and the”
14the kite, any kind of falcon,
“and the kite and the falcon in its kind,”
15any kind of raven,
“every raven in its kind,”
16the ostrich, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,

18the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,
“and the white owl and the pelican and the carrion vulture”
19the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.
“and the skork, the heron in its kind, the hoopoe and the bat.”
20All flying insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you.
“All the winged insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you,”
21However, you may eat the following kinds of flying insects that walk on all fours: those having jointed legs above their feet for hopping on the ground.
“yet these you may eat among all the winged insects which walk on all fours. Those which have above their feet jointed legs with which to jump on the earth,”
“Yet these may ye eat of every flying or creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet to leap with all upon the earth.”
22Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket, or grasshopper.
“these of them you may eat, the locust in its kind and the devastating locust in its kind, and the cricket in its kind and the grasshopper in its kind,”
23All other flying insects that have four legs are detestable to you.
“but all other winged insects which are four -footed are detestable to you.”
24These creatures will make you unclean. Whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until evening,
“By these, moreover, you will be made unclean. Whoever touches their carcasses becomes unclean until evening,”
25and whoever picks up one of their carcasses must wash his clothes, and he will be unclean until evening.
“and whoever picks up any of their carcasses shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening.”
26Every animal with hooves not completely divided or that does not chew the cud is unclean for you. Whoever touches any of them will be unclean.
“Concerning all the animals which revive the hoof but do not make a split hoof or which do not shoot cud, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches them becomes unclean.”
27All the four-footed animals that walk on their paws are unclean for you; whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until evening,
“Also, whatever walks on its paws among all the creatures that walk on all fours are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcasses becomes unclean until evening,”
28and anyone who picks up a carcass must wash his clothes, and he will be unclean until evening. They are unclean for you.
“and the one who picks up their carcasses shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening. They are unclean to you.”
29The following creatures that move along the ground are unclean for you: the mole, the mouse, any kind of great lizard,
“Now these are to you the unclean among the swarming things which swarm on the earth, the mole, the mouse, the great lizard in its kind,”
30the gecko, the monitor lizard, the common lizard, the skink, and the chameleon.

31These animals are unclean for you among all the crawling creatures. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until evening.
“These are to you the unclean among all of the swarming things. Whoever touches them, when they are dead, becomes unclean until evening.”
32When one of them dies and falls on something, that article becomes unclean; any article of wood, clothing, leather, sackcloth, or any implement used for work must be rinsed with water and will remain unclean until evening; then it will be clean.
“And anything upon which any of them falls when they are dead shall be unclean, whether there's an article of wood or a garment or a skin or a sack. Any vessel that is used for any purpose, it must be put into water and it shall…”
33If any of them falls into a clay pot, everything in it will be unclean; you must break the pot.
“As for any earthenware vessel into which one of them may fall, whatever is in it becomes unclean and you shall break the vessel.”
“And if any of them falls into any earthen vessel, all that is in it shall be unclean and you shall break it.”
34Any food coming into contact with water from that pot will be unclean, and any drink in such a container will be unclean.
“Any of the food which may be eaten on which water comes shall become unclean, and any liquid which may be drunk in every vessel shall become unclean.”
35Anything upon which one of their carcasses falls will be unclean. If it is an oven or cooking pot, it must be smashed; it is unclean and will remain unclean for you.
“Everything moreover on which part of their carcass may fall becomes unclean. An oven or a stove shall be smashed, they are unclean and shall continue as unclean to you.”
36Nevertheless, a spring or cistern containing water will remain clean, but one who touches a carcass in it will be unclean.
“Nevertheless, a spring or a cistern collecting water shall be clean, though the one who touches their carcasses shall be unclean.”
37If a carcass falls on any seed for sowing, the seed is clean;
“if a part of their carcass falls on any seed for growing which is to be sown, it is clean,”
38but if water has been put on the seed and a carcass falls on it, it is unclean for you.
“though if water is put on the seed and a part of the carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.”
39If an animal that you may eat dies, anyone who touches the carcass will be unclean until evening.
“Also, if one of the animals dies which you have for food, the one who touches its carcass becomes unclean until evening.”
40Whoever eats from the carcass must wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening, and anyone who picks up the carcass must wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening.
“He too who eats some of its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening, and the one who picks up its carcass shall wash his clothes and shall be unclean until evening.”
41Every creature that moves along the ground is detestable; it must not be eaten.
“Every swarming thing that swarms on the ground is detestable. It shall not be eaten.”
“Now every swarming thing that swarms on the earth is detestable, not to be eaten.”
“"'Every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination. It shall not be eaten.”
42Do not eat any creature that moves along the ground, whether it crawls on its belly or walks on four or more feet; for such creatures are detestable.
“Whoever crawls on its belly, whatever crawls, and whatever walks on all fours, whatever has many feet in respect to every swarming thing that swarms on the earth, you shall not eat them, for they are detestable.”
“Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, then ye shall not eat, for they are an abomination.”
43Do not defile yourselves by any crawling creature; do not become unclean or defiled by them.
“Ye shall not make yourselves abominable, that is, unclean, with any creeping thing that creepeth. Neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.”
“Do not render yourselves detestable to any of the swarming things that swarm, and you shall not make yourselves unclean with them, so that you become unclean.”
44For I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, because I am holy. You must not defile yourselves by any creature that crawls along the ground.
“For I am the Lord your God, ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy, for I am holy. Neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping things that creepeth upon the earth.”
“For I am the Lord your God. Ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy, for I am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”
“For I am the Lord your God, consecrate yourselves therefore and be holy, for I am holy. You shall not make yourselves unclean with any of the swarming things that swarm on the earth.”
45For I am the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt so that I would be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy.

“For I am the Lord that bringeth you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. Ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.".”
“For I am the Lord who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God, thus you shall be holy, for I am holy.”
“For I am the Lord your God that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God. You shall therefore be holy for I am holy.”
46This is the law regarding animals, birds, all living creatures that move in the water, and all creatures that crawl along the ground.
“This is the law regarding the animal, and the bird, and every living thing that moves in the waters, and everything that swarms on the earth,”
47You must distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between animals that may be eaten and those that may not.'"
“to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, between the edible creature and the creature which is not to be eaten.".”
