18
And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
19
And the stork, the heron after her kind, and
the lapwing, and the bat.
20
All fowls that creep, going upon
all
four,
shall be
an abomination unto
you.
21
Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon
all
four, which have
legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;
22
Even
these of them ye may eat; the locust
after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper
after his kind.
23
But all
other
flying creeping things, which have four feet,
shall be
an abomination
unto you.
24
And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be
unclean until the even.
25
And whosoever beareth
ought
of the carcase of them shall wash his
clothes, and be unclean until the even.
26
The carcases
of every beast which divideth the hoof, and
is
not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud,
are
unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall
be unclean.
27
And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on
all
four,
those
are
unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.
28
And
he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they
are
unclean unto you.
29
These also
shall be
unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth;
the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his 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: whosoever
doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
32
And upon whatsoever
any
of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether
it be
any vessel of wood, or
raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel
it be,
wherein
any
work is done, it must be put into
water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed.
33
And every earthen vessel,
whereinto
any
of them falleth, whatsoever 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 drunk in every
such
vessel shall be unclean.
35
And every
thing
whereupon
any part
of their
carcase falleth shall be unclean;
whether it be
oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down:
for
they
are
unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.
36
Nevertheless a fountain or pit,
wherein there
is
plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.
37
And if
any part
of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it
shall be
clean.
38
But if
any
water be put upon the seed, and
any part
of their carcase fall thereon, it
shall be
unclean unto
you.
39
And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be
unclean until the even.
40
And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be
unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean
until the even.
41
And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth
shall be
an abomination;
it shall not be eaten.
42
Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon
all
four, or
whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not
eat; for they
are
an abomination.
43
Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping
thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled
thereby.
44
For I
am
the L
ORD
your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy;
