9. These are the things that breed in the waters, and which it is lawful to eat. All that has little fins and scales, as much in the sea, as in the rivers and ponds, you shall eat.
10. But whatever does not have fins and scales, of those things that live and move in the waters, shall be abominable to you,
11. and detestable; their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall avoid.
12. All that does not have fins and scales in the waters shall be polluted.
13. These are those things among the birds which you must not eat, and which are to be avoided by you: the eagle, and the griffin, and the osprey,

15. and all that is of the raven kind, according to their likeness,
16. the ostrich, and the owl, and the gull, and the hawk, according to its kind,
17. the owl, and the sea bird, and the ibis,
18. and the swan, and the pelican, and the marsh hen,
19. the heron, and the plover according to its kind, the crested hoopoe, and also the bat.
20. Of all that flies, whatever steps upon four feet shall be abominable to you.
21. But whatever certainly walks upon four feet, and also has longer legs behind, with which it hops upon the earth,
22. you shall eat, such as the beetle in its kind, and the cricket, and grasshopper, and the locust, each one according to its kind.
23. But among flying things, whatever has only four feet shall be detestable to you.
24. And whoever will have touched their carcasses shall be defiled, and he shall be unclean until evening.
25. And if it will be necessary to carry any of these dead things, he shall wash his clothes, and he shall be unclean until the sun sets.
26. Every animal that certainly has a hoof, but which is not divided, nor does it chew over again, shall be unclean. And whoever will have touched it shall be contaminated.
