1After, the Lord spake vnto Moses and to Aaron, saying vnto them,

2Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say, These are the beastes which yee shall eate, among all the beasts that are on the earth.

3Whatsoeuer parteth the hoofe, and is clouen footed, and cheweth the cudde, among the beastes, that shall ye eate.

4But of them that chewe the cud, or deuide the hoofe onely, of them yee shall not eate: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, and deuideth not ye hoofe, he shall be vncleane vnto you.

5Likewise the conie, because he cheweth the cud and deuideth not the hoofe, he shall bee vncleane to you.

6Also the hare, because he cheweth the cud, and deuideth not the hoofe, he shalbe vncleane to you.

7And the swine, because he parteth ye hoofe and is clouen footed, but cheweth not the cud, he shalbe vncleane to you.

8Of their flesh shall yee not eate, and their carkeise shall yee not touch: for they shall bee vncleane to you.

9These shall ye eate, of all that are in the waters: whatsoeuer hath finnes and skales in ye waters, in the seas, or in the riuers, them shall ye eate.

10But all that haue not finnes nor skales in the seas, or in the riuers, of all that moueth in the waters, and of al liuing things that are in the waters, they shalbe an abomination vnto you.

11They, I say, shalbe an abomination to you: ye shall not eate of their flesh, but shall abhorre their carkeis.

12Whatsoeuer hath not fins nor skales in the waters, that shalbe abomination vnto you.

13These shall ye haue also in abomination among the foules, they shall not be eaten: for they are an abomination, the eagle, and the goshauke, and the osprey:

14Also the vultur, and the kite after his kinde,

15And all rauens after their kinde:

16The ostrich also, and the night crowe, and the seameaw, and the hauke after his kinde:

17The litle owle also, and the connorant, and the great owle.

18Also the redshanke and the pelicane, and the swanne:

19The storke also, the heron after his kinde, and the lapwing, and the backe:

20Also euery foule that creepeth and goeth vpon all foure, such shalbe an abomination vnto you.

21Yet these shall ye eate: of euery foule that creepeth, and goeth vpon all foure which haue their feete and legs all of one to leape withal vpon the earth,

22Of them ye shall eate these, the grashopper after his kinde, and the solean after his kinde, the hargol after his kinde, and the hagab after his kind.

23But al other foules that creepe and haue foure feete, they shalbe abomination vnto you.

24For by such ye shalbe polluted: whosoeuer toucheth their carkeis, shalbe vncleane vnto the euening.

25Whosoeuer also beareth of their carkeis, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntil euen.

26Euery beast that hath clawes deuided, and is not clouen footed, nor cheweth the cud, such shalbe vncleane vnto you: euery one that toucheth them, shalbe vncleane.

27And whatsoeuer goeth vpon his pawes among all maner beastes that goeth on all foure, such shalbe vncleane vnto you: who so doth touch their carkeis shalbe vncleane vntil the euen.

28And he that beareth their carkeis, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntill the euen: for such shalbe vncleane vnto you.

29Also these shalbe vncleane to you amog the things that creepe and moue vpon the earth, the weasell, and the mouse, and the frog, after his kinde:

30Also the rat, and the lizard, and the chameleon, and the stellio, and the molle.

31These shall be vncleane to you among all that creepe: whosoeuer doeth touch them when they be dead, shalbe vncleane vntil the euen.

32Also whatsoeuer any of the dead carkeises of them doth fall vpon, shalbe vncleane, whether it be vessel of wood, or rayment, or skinne, or sacke: whatsoeuer vessel it be that is occupied, it shalbe put in the water as vncleane vntil the euen, and so be purified.

33But euery earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoeuer is within it shalbe vncleane, and ye shall breake it.

34Al meate also that shalbe eaten, if any such water come vpon it, shalbe vncleane: and all drinke that shalbe drunke in al such vessels shalbe vncleane.

35And euery thing that their carkeis fall vpon, shalbe vncleane: the fornais or the pot shalbe broken: for they are vncleane, and shalbe vncleane vnto you.

36Yet the fountaines and welles where there is plentie of water shalbe cleane: but that which toucheth their carkeises shalbe vncleane.

37And if there fal of their dead carkeis vpon any seede, which vseth to be sowe, it shalbe cleane.

38But if any water be powred vpon ye seede, and there fal of their dead carkeis thereon, it shall be vncleane vnto you.

39If also any beast, whereof ye may eate, die, he that toucheth the carkeis thereof shall be vncleane vntil the euen.

40And he that eateth of the carkeis of it, shall wash his clothes and be vncleane vntil the euen: he also that beareth the carkeis of it, shall wash his clothes, and be vncleane vntil the euen.

41Euery creeping thing therefore that creepeth vpon the earth shalbe an abomination, and not be eaten.

42Whatsoeuer goeth vpon the breast, and whatsoeuer goeth vpon al foure, or that hath many feete among all creeping thinges that creepe vpon the earth, ye shall not eate of them, for they shalbe abomination.

43Ye shall not pollute your selues with any thing that creepeth, neither make your selues vncleane with them, neither defile your selues thereby: ye shall not, I say, be defiled by them,

44For I am the Lord your God: be sanctified therefore, and be holy, for I am holy, and defile not your selues with any creeping thing, that creepeth vpon the earth.

45For I am the Lord that brought you out of the lande of Egypt, to be your God, and that you should be holy, for I am holy.

46This is the law of beasts, and of foules, and of euery liuing thing that moueth in the waters, and of euery thing that creepeth vpon the earth:

47That there may be a difference betweene the vncleane and cleane, and betweene the beast that may be eaten, and the beast that ought not to be eaten.
