Leviticus Chapter 11

The Webster Bible

   1: And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them.
   2: Speak to the children of Israel, saying, These [are] the beasts which ye may eat among all the beasts that [are] on the earth.
   3: Whatever parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, [and] cheweth the cud among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
   4: Nevertheless, these shall ye not eat, of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean to you.
   5: And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean to you.
   6: And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof: he [is] unclean to you.
   7: And the swine, though he divideth the hoof, and [is] cloven-footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he [is] unclean to you.
   8: Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch; they [are] unclean to you.
   9: These shall ye eat, of all that [are] in the waters: whatever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
   10: And all that have not fins nor scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living animal which [is] in the waters, they [shall be] an abomination to you:
   11: They shall be even an abomination to you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcasses in abomination.
   12: Whatever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that [shall be] an abomination to you.
   13: And these [are they which] ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they [are] an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
   14: And the vultur, and the kite after his kind;
   15: Every raven after his kind;
   16: And the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
   17: And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
   18: And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier-eagle,
   19: And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
   20: All fowls that creep, going upon [all] four, [shall be] an abomination to you.
   21: Yet these may ye eat, of every flying creeping animal that goeth upon [all] four, which have legs above their feet, to leap with upon the earth;
   22: [Even] these of them ye may eat; the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the beetle after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.
   23: But all [other] flying creeping animals, which have four feet, [shall be] an abomination to you.
   24: And for these ye shall be unclean: whoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening.
   25: And whoever beareth [aught] of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
   26: [The carcasses] of every beast which divideth the hoof, and [is] not cloven-footed, nor cheweth the cud, [are] unclean to you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.
   27: And whatever goeth upon its paws, among all manner of beasts that go on [all] four, those [are] unclean to you: whoever toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
   28: And he that beareth the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: they [are] unclean to you.
   29: These also [shall be] unclean to you among the creeping animals that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise, after its kind,
   30: And the ferret and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.
   31: These [are] unclean to you among all that creep: whoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.
   32: And upon whatever [any] of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether [it is] any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel [it is], in which [any] work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; so it shall be cleansed.
   33: And every earthen vessel, into which [any] of them falleth, whatever [is] in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
   34: Of all meat which may be eaten, [that] on which [such] water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drank in every [such] vessel, shall be unclean.
   35: And every [thing] on which [any part] of their carcass falleth, shall be unclean; [whether] an oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: [for] they [are] unclean, and shall be unclean to you.
   36: Nevertheless, a fountain or pit, [in which there is] plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcass shall be unclean.
   37: And if [any part] of their carcass shall fall upon any sowing-seed which is to be sown, it [shall be] clean.
   38: But if [any] water shall be put upon the seed, and [any part] of their carcass shall fall on it, it [shall be] unclean to you.
   39: And if any beast, of which ye may eat, shall die; he that toucheth its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
   40: And he that eateth of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening; he also that beareth its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
   41: And every creeping animal that creepeth upon the earth [shall be] an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
   42: Whatever goeth upon the belly, and whatever goeth upon [all] four, or whatever hath more feet among all creeping animals that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they [are] an abomination.
   43: Ye shall not make your selves abominable with any creeping animal that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled by them.
   44: For I [am] the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I [am] holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping animal that creepeth upon the earth.
   45: For I [am] the LORD that bringeth you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I [am] holy.
   46: This [is] the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth;
   47: To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
