Laws of Clean and Unclean Foods

3

`Thou dost not eat any abominable thing;

4

`this is the beast which ye do eat: ox, lamb of the sheep, or kid of the goats,

5

hart, and roe, and fallow deer, and wild goat, and pygarg, and wild ox, and chamois;

6

and every beast dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft into two hoofs, bringing up the cud, among the beasts--it ye do eat.

7

`Only, this ye do not eat, of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the cloven hoof: the camel, and the hare, and the rabbit, for they are bringing up the cud but the hoof have not divided; unclean they are to you;

8

and the sow, for it is dividing the hoof, and not bringing up the cud, unclean it is to you; of their flesh ye do not eat, and against their carcase ye do not come.

9

`This ye do eat of all that are in the waters; all that hath fins and scales ye do eat;

10

and anything which hath not fins and scales ye do not eat; unclean it is to you.

11

`Any clean bird ye do eat;

12

and these are they of which ye do not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,

13

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

14

and every raven after its kind;

15

and the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after its kind;

16

the little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,

17

and the pelican, and the gier-eagle, and the cormorant,

18

and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the lapwing, and the bat;

19

and every teeming thing which is flying, unclean it is to you; they are not eaten;

20

any clean fowl ye do eat.

21

`Ye do not eat of any carcase; to the sojourner who is within thy gates thou dost give it, and he hath eaten it; or sell it to a stranger; for a holy people thou art to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
