Leviticus Chapter 11

Leviticus Chapter 11
1 After, the Lord spake unto Moses and
to Aaron, saying unto them, 2 Speak unto
the children of Israel, and say, 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 But of them that chew the cud, or
divide the hoof only, of them ye shall not
eat: as the camel, because he cheweth
the cud, and divideth not the hoof, he
shall be unclean unto you.
5 Likewise the coney, because he
cheweth the cud and divideth not the
hoof, he shall be unclean to you.
6 Also the hare, because he cheweth the
cud, and divideth not the hoof, he shall
be unclean to you.
7 And the swine, because he parteth the
hoof and is cloven footed, but cheweth
not the cud, he shall be unclean to you.
8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their
carcass shall ye not touch: for they shall
be 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, or in the
rivers, them shall ye eat. 10 But all that
have not fins nor scales in the seas, or in
the rivers, of all that moveth in the
waters, and of all living things that are in
the waters, they shall be an abomination
unto you.
11 They, I say, shall be an abomination
to you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, but
shall abhor their carcass.
12 Whatsoever hath not fins nor scales
in the waters, that shall be abomination
unto you.
13 These shall ye have also in
abomination among the fowls, they shall
not be eaten: for they are an
abomination, the eagle, and the goshawk,
and the osprey:
14 Also the vulture, and the kite after his
kind,
15 And all ravens after their kind:
16 The ostrich also, and the night crow,
and the sea mew, and the hawk after his
kind:
17 The little owl also, and the
cormorant, and the great owl.
18 Also the redshank and the pelican,
and the swan:
19 The stork also, the heron after his
kind, and the lapwing, and the bat: 20
Also every fowl that creepeth and goeth
upon all four, such shall be an
abomination unto you.
21 Yet these shall ye eat: of every fowl
that creepeth, and goeth upon all four
which have their feet and legs all of one
to leap withal upon the earth, 22 Of them
ye shall eat these, the grasshopper after
his kind, and the solean after his kind,
the hargol after his kind, and the hagab
after his kind. 23 But all other fowls that
creep and have four feet, they shall be
abomination unto you.
24 For by such ye shall be polluted:
whosoever toucheth their carcass, shall
be unclean unto the evening.
25 Whosoever also beareth of their
carcass, shall wash his clothes, and be
unclean until even.
26 Every beast that hath claws divided,
and is not cloven footed, nor cheweth the
cud, such shall be unclean unto you:
every one that toucheth them, shall be
unclean.

27 And whatsoever goeth upon his paws
among all manner beasts that goeth on all
four, such shall be unclean unto you:
who so doth touch their carcass shall be
unclean until the even.
28 And he that beareth their carcass,
shall wash his clothes, and be unclean
until the even: for such shall be unclean
unto you.
29 Also these shall be unclean to you
among the things that creep and move
upon the earth, the weasel, and the
mouse, and the frog, after his kind: 30
Also the rat, and the lizard, and the
chameleon, and the stellio, and the mole.
31 These shall be unclean to you among
all that creep: whosoever doth touch
them when they be dead, shall be
unclean until the even.
32 Also whatsoever any of the dead
carcasses of them doth fall upon, shall
be unclean, whether it be vessel of
wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack:
whatsoever vessel it be that is occupied,
it shall be put in the water as unclean
until the even, and so be purified.
33 But every earthen vessel, where into
any of them falleth, whatsoever is within
it shall be unclean, and ye shall break it.
34 All meat also that shall be eaten, if
any such water come upon it, shall be
unclean: and all drink that shall be drunk
in all such vessels shall be unclean. 35
And every thing that their carcass fall
upon, shall be unclean: the furnace or the
pot shall be broken: for they are unclean,
and shall be unclean unto you.
36 Yet the fountains and wells where
there is plenty of water shall be clean:
but that which toucheth their carcasses
shall be unclean.
37 And if there fall of their dead carcass
upon any seed, which useth to be sow, it
shall be clean.
38 But if any water be poured upon the
seed, and there fall of their dead carcass
thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
39 If also any beast, whereof 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 Every creeping thing therefore that
creepeth upon the earth shall be an
abomination, and not be eaten.
42 Whatsoever goeth upon the breast,
and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or
that hath many feet among all creeping
things that creep upon the earth, ye shall
not eat of them, for they shall be
abomination.
43 Ye shall not pollute yourselves with
anything that creepeth, neither make
yourselves unclean with them, neither
defile yourselves thereby: ye shall not, I
say, be defiled by them,
44 For I am the Lord your God: be
sanctified therefore, and be holy, for I
am holy, and defile not yourselves with
any creeping thing, that creepeth upon
the earth.
45 For I am the Lord that brought you out
of the land of Egypt, to be your God, and
that you should be holy, for I am holy.
46 This is the law of beasts, and of
fowls, and of every living thing that
moveth in the waters, and of everything
that creepeth upon the earth:
47 That there may be a difference
between the unclean and clean, and
between the beast that may be eaten, and
the beast that ought not to be eaten.
