1The LORD spoke again to Moses and Aaron, telling them,

1The LORD told Moses and Aaron,

2“Say to the Israelites, ‘Of all the beasts of the earth, these ones you may eat:

2"Tell the Israelis that these are the living creatures that you may eat among the animals of the earth:

3You may eat any animal that has a split hoof completely divided and that chews the cud.

3You may eat any animal that has divided hooves with cloven feet and that ruminates its cud,

4But of those that only chew the cud or only have a divided hoof, you are not to eat the following: The camel, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.

4except you are not to eat the following animals that have divided hooves or ruminate their cud: the camel (because it chews the cud but doesn't have divided hooves, it is to be unclean for you),

5The rock badger, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.

5the rock badger (because it chews its cud but its hooves aren't divided, it is to be unclean for you),

6The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.

6the hare (because it chews its cud, but its hooves aren't divided, it is to be unclean for you),

7And the pig, though it has a split hoof completely divided, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you.

7and the pig (because it has divided hooves and is therefore cloven-footed, but it doesn't ruminate its cud, it is to be unclean for you).

8You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.

8You are not to eat their flesh or even touch their carcasses. They are to be unclean for you."

9Of all the creatures that live in the water, whether in the seas or in the streams, you may eat anything with fins and scales.

9"You may eat anything that lives in the water—that is, you may eat anything that has fins and scales either from the seas or from the rivers.

10But the following among all the teeming life and creatures in the water are detestable to you: everything in the seas or streams that does not have fins and scales.

10But anything that doesn't have fins or scales—whether from the seas or the rivers—any of the swarming creatures and living creatures in the waters are detestable for you.

11They shall be an abomination to you; you must not eat their meat, and you must detest their carcasses.

11They are to remain detestable for you. You are not to eat of their meat and you are to detest their carcasses.

12Everything in the water that does not have fins and scales shall be detestable to you.

12Anything that doesn't have fins or scales in the waters is a detestable thing for you."

13Additionally, you are to detest the following birds, and they must not be eaten because they are detestable: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture,

13"These are detestable things for you among winged creatures that you are not to eat, because they are detestable for you: the eagle, vulture, osprey,

19storks, herons of every kind, the hoopoe, bata,

20All flying insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you.

20and any winged insect that crawls on four legs is detestable for you.

21However, you may eat the following kinds of flying insects that walk on all fours: those having jointed legs above their feet for hopping on the ground.

21However, you may eat winged creatures that crawl on four legs that extend over its head and by which it hops on the ground.

22Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket, or grasshopper.

22These creatures that you may eat include the locust of any kind, the bald locust of any kind, the cricket of any kind, and the grasshopper of any kind.

23All other flying insects that have four legs are detestable to you.

23But any other winged insect that has four legs is detestable for you

24These creatures will make you unclean. Whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until evening,

24and is unclean. Anyone who touches their carcasses becomes unclean until evening.

25and whoever picks up one of their carcasses must wash his clothes, and he will be unclean until evening.

25And anyone who carries their carcasses is to wash his clothes, since he will remain unclean until evening."

26Every animal with hooves not completely divided or that does not chew the cud is unclean for you. Whoever touches any of them will be unclean.

26"Any animal that has divided hooves and is cloven-footed but doesn't chew the cud is unclean for you. Anyone who touches them is unclean.

27All the four-footed animals that walk on their paws are unclean for you; whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until evening,

27Among the animals, anything that walks on their paws and on four legs is unclean for you. Anyone who touches their carcasses becomes unclean until evening.

28and anyone who picks up a carcass must wash his clothes, and he will be unclean until evening. They are unclean for you.

28Whoever carries their carcass is to wash their clothes, because they've become unclean until evening. They're unclean for you.

29The following creatures that move along the ground are unclean for you: the mole, the mouse, any kind of great lizard,

29"These are unclean for you among the swarming creatures that crawl over the land: the rat, mouse, lizards of every kind,

30the gecko, the monitor lizard, the common lizard, the skink, and the chameleon.

30the gecko, crocodile, lizard, sand lizard, and chameleon.

31These animals are unclean for you among all the crawling creatures. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until evening.

31These are unclean for you among the swarming creatures, so anyone who touches them when they're dead becomes unclean until evening.

32When one of them dies and falls on something, that article becomes unclean; any article of wood, clothing, leather, sackcloth, or any implement used for work must be rinsed with water and will remain unclean until evening; then it will be clean.

32Furthermore, anything on which they fall when they're dead becomes unclean, whether on an article of wood, clothing, skin, or a sack. And any vessel used for any work is to be washed in water, because it has become unclean until evening.

33If any of them falls into a clay pot, everything in it will be unclean; you must break the pot.

33Any earthen vessel into which any of these things fall becomes unclean, along with everything in it. You are to destroy it, along with all its contents."

34Any food coming into contact with water from that pot will be unclean, and any drink in such a container will be unclean.

34"Any food that may be eaten, but into which water has soaked, becomes unclean. Any drink that may be drunk in any of these vessels becomes unclean,

35Anything upon which one of their carcasses falls will be unclean. If it is an oven or cooking pot, it must be smashed; it is unclean and will remain unclean for you.

35and anything into which their carcass falls becomes unclean. An oven or stove is to be broken in pieces. They're unclean and therefore unclean for you.

36Nevertheless, a spring or cistern containing water will remain clean, but one who touches a carcass in it will be unclean.

36"A spring or a cistern that holds water is clean, but whoever touches the carcass of an unclean animal will be unclean.

37If a carcass falls on any seed for sowing, the seed is clean;

37If their carcass falls on a seed, which is for sowing, what is to be sown is clean.

38but if water has been put on the seed and a carcass falls on it, it is unclean for you.

38But if water is put on the seed and part of their carcass falls on it, then it has become unclean for you.

39If an animal that you may eat dies, anyone who touches the carcass will be unclean until evening.

39"If any of the animals that you may eat dies, the one who touches its carcass becomes unclean until evening.

40Whoever eats from the carcass must wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening, and anyone who picks up the carcass must wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening.

40The one who eats from its carcass is to wash his clothes, because he has become unclean until evening. Even the one who carries the carcass is to wash his clothes, because he has become unclean until evening."

41Every creature that moves along the ground is detestable; it must not be eaten.

41"Every swarming thing that swarms the land is detestable for you. It is not to be eaten.

42Do not eat any creature that moves along the ground, whether it crawls on its belly or walks on four or more feet; for such creatures are detestable.

42You are not to eat anything that crawls on its belly, anything that walks on four legs, anything that has many legs, or any of the swarming creatures that swarm the land, because they're detestable.

43Do not defile yourselves by any crawling creature; do not become unclean or defiled by them.

43You are not to make yourselves detestable on account of any swarming creature that swarms the land, and you are not to defile yourselves and become unclean due to them,

44For I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, because I am holy. You must not defile yourselves by any creature that crawls along the ground.

44because I, the LORD, am your God. Set yourselves apart and be holy, because I am holy. You are not to defile yourselves with any of the swarming creatures that swarm the earth.

45For I am the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt so that I would be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy.

45I am the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. You are to be holy, because I am holy.

46This is the law regarding animals, birds, all living creatures that move in the water, and all creatures that crawl along the ground.

46This is the law concerning animals, every living creature that moves on the waters or swarms on land.

47You must distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between animals that may be eaten and those that may not.’ ”

47You are to differentiate between the clean and unclean, between the living creature that can be eaten and the living creature that is not to be eaten."
