1. And the LORD spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
2. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the animals which you shall eat among all the animals that are on the earth.
3. Whatsoever parts the hoof, and is cloven footed, and chews the cud, among the animals, that shall you eat.
4. Nevertheless these shall you not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because it chews the cud, but divides not the hoof; it is unclean unto you.
5. And the rock badger, because it chews the cud, but divides not the hoof; it is unclean unto you.
6. And the hare, because it chews the cud, but divides not the hoof; it is unclean unto you.
7. And the swine, though it divides the hoof, and is cloven footed, yet it chews not the cud; it is unclean to you.
8. Of their flesh shall you not eat, and their carcass shall you not touch; they are unclean to you.
9. These shall you eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall you eat.
10. And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
11. They shall be even an abomination unto you;
12. Whatsoever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
13. And these are they which you shall hold in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the osprey,
14. And the kite, and the falcon after its kind;
15. Every raven after its kind;
16. And the ostrich, and the nighthawk, and the sea gull, and the hawk after its kind,
