Leviticus 11:1-11 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

1. Adonai spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,

2. “Speak to Bnei-Yisrael, saying: These are the living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth.

3. Whatever has a split, divided hoof and chews cud among the animals—that you may eat.

4. “Nevertheless, you should not eat of those that only chew cud, or have a split hoof. The camel, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof, is unclean to you.

5. The coney, though it chews the cud yet does not have a divided hoof, so it is unclean to you.

6. The hare, though it chews the cud, does not split the hoof, so it is unclean to you.

7. The pig, though it has a split, divided hoof, does not chew cud, so it is unclean to you.

8. You are not to eat meat from them, nor are you to touch their carcasses. They are unclean to you.

9. “From all that are in the waters, you may eat whatever has fins and scales, within the waters, in the seas and in the rivers. Those you may eat.

10. But any that do not have fins and scales in the seas or the rivers, among those that swarm on the waters, or among any of the living creatures that are in the waters, they are loathsome to you.

11. They are to be detestable to you. You should not eat meat from them and you should detest their carcasses.
