1. And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
2. Say to the children of Israel: These are the animals which you are to eat of all the living things of the earth.
3. Whatsoever hath the hoof divided, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, you shall eat.
4. But whatsoever cheweth indeed the cud, and hath a hoof, but divideth it not, as the camel, and others, that you shall not eat, but shall reckon it among the unclean.
5. The cherogrillus which cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof, is unclean.
6. The hare also: for that too cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof.
7. And the swine, which, though it divideth the hoof, cheweth not the cud.
8. The flesh of these you shall not eat, nor shall you touch their carcasses, because they are unclean to you.
9. These are the things that breed in the waters, and which it is lawful to eat. All that hath fins, and scales, as well in the sea, as in the rivers, and the pools, you shall eat.
10. But whatsoever hath not fins and scales, of those things that move and live in the waters, shall be an abomination to you,
11. And detestable: their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall avoid.
12. All that have not fins and scales, in the waters, shall be unclean.
