1. And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon, saying to them,
2. “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘These are the living creatures which you do eat among all the beasts that are on the earth:
3. ‘Whatever has a split hoof completely divided, chewing the cud, among the beasts, that you do eat.
4. ‘Only, these you do not eat among those that chew the cud or those that have a split hoof: the camel, because it chews the cud but does not have a split hoof, it is unclean to you;
5. and the rabbit, because it chews the cud but does not have a split hoof, it is unclean to you;
6. and the hare, because it chews the cud but does not have a split hoof, it is unclean to you;
7. and the pig, though it has a split hoof, completely divided, yet does not chew the cud, it is unclean to you.
8. ‘Their flesh you do not eat, and their carcasses you do not touch. They are unclean to you.
9. ‘These you do eat of all that are in the waters: any one that has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas or in the rivers, that you do eat.
10. ‘But all that have not fins and scales in the seas and in the rivers, all that move in the waters or any living creature which is in the waters, they are an abomination to you.
11. ‘They are an abomination to you – of their flesh you do not eat, and their carcasses you abominate.
12. ‘All that have not fins or scales in the waters is an abomination to you.
13. ‘And these you do abominate among the birds, they are not eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the black vulture,
14. and the hawk, and the falcon after its kind,
15. every raven after its kind,
16. and the ostrich, and the nighthawk, and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind,
