1 | And
the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them, |
2 | Speak unto the children of Israel,
saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are
on the earth. |
3 |
Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud, among
the beasts, that shall ye eat. |
4
| 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. |
5 | And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but
divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. |
6 | And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth
not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. |
7 | And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven-footed,
yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. |
8 | Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass
shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you. |
9 | These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters:
whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers,
them shall ye eat. |
10 |
And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all
that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they
shall be an abomination unto you: |
11 | They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of
their flesh, but ye shall have their carcasses in abomination. |
12 | Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in
the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you. |
13 | And these are they which ye shall have in
abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination:
the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, |
14 | And the vulture, and the kite after his kind; |
15 | Every raven after his
kind; |
16 | And the owl,
and the night hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after his kind, |
17 | And the little owl, and the
cormorant, and the great owl, |
18
| And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, |
19 | And the stork, the heron after her
kind, and the lapwing, and the bat. |
20 | All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an
abomination unto you. |
21 |
Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four,
which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth; |
22 | Even these of them ye may eat; the
locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after
his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind. |
23 | But all other flying creeping things, which have four
feet, shall be an abomination unto you. |
24 | And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth
the carcass of them shall be unclean until the even. |
25 | And whosoever beareth ought of the
carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. |
26 | The carcasses of every beast
which divideth the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, nor cheweth the cud, are
unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean. |
27 | And whatsoever goeth upon his
paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean unto
you: whoso toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the even. |
28 | And he that beareth the carcass of
them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean
unto you. |
29 | These also
shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth;
the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind, |
30 | And the ferret, and the chameleon, and
the lizard, and the snail, and the mole. |
31 | These are unclean to you among all that creep:
whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the
even. |
32 | And upon
whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean;
whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever
vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall
be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed. |
33 | And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them
falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it. |
34 | Of all meat which may be
eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may
be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean. |
35 | And every thing whereupon any part of their carcass
falleth shall be unclean; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be
broken down: for they are unclean and shall be unclean unto you. |
36 | Nevertheless a fountain or pit,
wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their
carcass shall be unclean. |
37 |
And if any part of their carcass fall upon any sowing seed which is to be
sown, it shall be clean. |
38 |
But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcass fall
thereon, it shall be unclean unto you. |
39 | And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that
toucheth the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the even. |
40 | And he that eateth of the carcass of
it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth
the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. |
41 | And every creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be
eaten. |
42 | Whatsoever
goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath
more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall
not eat; for they are an abomination. |
43 | Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any
creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with
them, that ye should be defiled thereby. |
44 | 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 thing that creepeth upon the earth.
1 Peter 1:16
|
45 | For I am the LORD that
bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be
holy, for I am holy. |
46 |
This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature
that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the
earth: |
47 | To make a
difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be
eaten and the beast that may not be eaten. |
