Laws of Clean and Unclean Foods

3

Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.

4

These are the beasts which ye may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,

5

the hart, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the antelope, and the chamois.

6

And every beast that parteth the hoof, and hath the hoof cloven in two, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.

7

Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that have the hoof cloven: the camel, and the hare, and the coney; because they chew the cud but part not the hoof, they are unclean unto you.

8

And the swine, because he parteth the hoof but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you: of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch.

9

These ye may eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales may ye eat;

10

and whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye shall not eat; it is unclean unto you.

11

Of all clean birds ye may eat.

12

But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the gier-eagle, and the ospray,

13

and the glede, and the falcon, and the kite after its kind,

14

and every raven after its kind,

15

and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-mew, and the hawk after its kind,

16

the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl,

17

and the pelican, and the vulture, and the cormorant,

18

and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

19

And all winged creeping things are unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.

20

Of all clean birds ye may eat.

21

Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself: thou mayest give it unto the sojourner that is within thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto a foreigner: for thou art a holy people unto Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.
