1. AND THE Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
2. Say to the Israelites: These are the animals which you may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. [Mark 7:15-19.]
3. Whatever parts the hoof and is cloven-footed and chews the cud, any of these animals you may eat.
4. Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud or divide the hoof: the camel, because it chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you.
5. And the coney or rock badger, because it chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you.
6. And the hare, because it chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you.
7. And the swine, because it divides the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud; it 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: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, these you may eat;
10. But all that have not fins and scales in the seas and in the rivers, of all the creeping things in the waters, and of all the living creatures which are in the waters, they are [to be considered] an abomination and abhorrence to you. [I Cor. 8:8-13.]
11. They shall continue to be an abomination to you; you shall not eat of their flesh, but you shall detest their carcasses.
12. Everything in the waters that has not fins or scales shall be abhorrent and detestable to you.
13. These you shall have in abomination among the birds; they shall not be eaten, for they are detestable: the eagle, the ossifrage, the ospray,
14. The kite, the whole species of falcon,
15. Every kind of raven,
16. The ostrich, the nighthawk, the sea gull, every species of hawk,
