1 And YHVH said to Moses and Aaron,
2 "Say to the people of Israel, These are the living things which you may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
3 Whatever parts the hoof and is cloven-footed and chews the cud, among the animals, you may eat.
4 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, is unclean to you.
5 And the rock badger, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean to you.
6 And the hare, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean to you.
7 And the swine, because it parts the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you.
8 Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch; they are unclean to you.
9 "These you may eat, of all that are in the waters. Everything in the waters that has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers, you may eat.
10 But anything in the seas or the rivers that has not fins and scales, of the swarming creatures in the waters and of the living creatures that are in the waters, is an abomination to you.
11 They shall remain an abomination to you; of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall have in abomination.
12 Everything in the waters that has not fins and scales is an abomination to you.
13 "And these you shall have in abomination among the birds, they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, the vulture, the osprey,
14 the kite, the falcon according to its kind,
15 every raven according to its kind,
16 the ostrich, the nighthawk, the sea gull, the hawk according to its kind,
17 the owl, the cormorant, the ibis,
18 the water hen, the pelican, the carrion vulture,
19 the stork, the heron according to its kind, the hoopoe, and the bat.
20 "All winged insects that go upon all fours are an abomination to you.
