1
And it came to pass that Moses passed judgment on Israel saying:
2
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, ye shall not eat the camel because he is a servant unto thee, and bears thy burdens; thus ye shall not eat of it;
5
And the swine, is uncleana to you, for in his meat is sickness and death; therefore of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
6
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.
7
And ye shall not eat the eagle, nor the peresa, nor the rachamahb, nor the vulture, nor the daahc after his kind, nor raven after his kind, nor the owl;
8
Not the nighthawk, nor the cuckoo, nor the hawk after his kind, nor the little owl, nor the cormorant and the great owl, nor the stork, nor the heron after her kind, and the dukiphatha, nor the bat ye shall not eat:
9
And these ye shall not eat, for these are scavengers or eat that which would plague thee, thus ye shall keep them alive.
10
¶ And 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;
11
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.
12
¶ And if ye should eat of that which is unclean, ye shall be uncleana and shall quarantineb for thirty days; but whosoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening, but shall cover the mouthc that Israel may know they are unclean;
13
And whosoever beareth aught of the carcass of them shall wash their clothes and be unclean until the evening.
14
¶ The carcassesa of every beast ye shall deplore; and they that beareth the carcass of the beast shall wash their clothes and be unclean for three days, until the even; they are unclean unto you.
15
¶ And upon whatsoever anything doth fall when they are dead, it shall be unclean, whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, or earthen vessel; whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is done;
16
And the vessel must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; so it shall be cleansed.
17
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.
18
And everything whereupon any part of their carcass falleth shall be unclean; whether it be an oven or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down; for they are unclean and shall be unclean unto you.
19
Nevertheless, a fountain or pit wherein there is plenty of flowing water shall be clean; but that which toucheth their carcass shall be unclean.
20
¶ And if any part of their carcass falls upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean.
21
But if any water be put upon the seed and any part of their carcass fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
22
And if any beast of which ye may eat die, they that toucheth the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the evening.
23
¶ And this shall be the Toraha 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—
24
To keep the unclean from the clean, that Israel should avoid the plagues of Ha’Elohima.
