| 2"Say to the Israelites: 'Of all the animals that live on land, these are the ones you may eat: | 2“Speak to the people of Israel, saying, These are the living things that you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth. | 2"Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'These are the creatures which you may eat from all the animals that are on the earth. | 2Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. | 2Tell the Israelites: You may eat all these kinds of land animals. |
| 3You may eat any animal that has a divided hoof and that chews the cud. | 3Whatever parts the hoof and is cloven-footed and chews the cud, among the animals, you may eat. | 3Whatever divides a hoof, thus making split hoofs, and chews the cud, among the animals, that you may eat. | 3Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. | 3You may eat any animal with divided hooves and that chews the cud. |
| 4"'There are some that only chew the cud or only have a divided hoof, but you must not eat them. The camel, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is ceremonially unclean for you. | 4Nevertheless, among those that chew the cud or part the hoof, you shall not eat these: The camel, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean to you. | 4'Nevertheless, you are not to eat of these, among those which chew the cud, or among those which divide the hoof: the camel, for though it chews cud, it does not divide the hoof, it is unclean to you. | 4Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. | 4But among the ones that chew the cud or have divided hooves you are not to eat these: the camel, though it chews the cud, does not have divided hooves--it is unclean for you; |
| 5The hyrax, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you. | 5And the rock badger, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean to you. | 5'Likewise, the shaphan, for though it chews cud, it does not divide the hoof, it is unclean to you; | 5And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. | 5the hyrax, though it chews the cud, does not have hooves--it is unclean for you; |
| 6The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you. | 6And the hare, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean to you. | 6the rabbit also, for though it chews cud, it does not divide the hoof, it is unclean to you; | 6And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. | 6the hare, though it chews the cud, does not have hooves--it is unclean for you; |
| 7And the pig, though it has a divided hoof, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you. | 7And the pig, because it parts the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. | 7and the pig, for though it divides the hoof, thus making a split hoof, it does not chew cud, it is unclean to you. | 7And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. | 7the pig, though it has divided hooves, does not chew the cud--it is unclean for you. |
| 8You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you. | 8You shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you. | 8'You shall not eat of their flesh nor touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you. | 8Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you. | 8Do not eat any of their meat or touch their carcasses--they are unclean for you." |
| 9"'Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams you may eat any that have fins and scales. | 9“These you may eat, of all that are in the waters. Everything in the waters that has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers, you may eat. | 9'These you may eat, whatever is in the water: all that have fins and scales, those in the water, in the seas or in the rivers, you may eat. | 9These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat. | 9This is what you may eat from all that is in the water: You may eat everything in the water that has fins and scales, whether in the seas or streams. |
| 10But all creatures in the seas or streams that do not have fins and scales--whether among all the swarming things or among all the other living creatures in the water--you are to regard as unclean. | 10But anything in the seas or the rivers that does not have fins and scales, of the swarming creatures in the waters and of the living creatures that are in the waters, is detestable to you. | 10'But whatever is in the seas and in the rivers that does not have fins and scales among all the teeming life of the water, and among all the living creatures that are in the water, they are detestable things to you, | 10And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you: | 10But these are to be detestable to you: everything in the seas or streams that does not have fins and scales among all the swarming things and other living creatures in the water. |
| 11And since you are to regard them as unclean, you must not eat their meat; you must regard their carcasses as unclean. | 11You shall regard them as detestable; you shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall detest their carcasses. | 11and they shall be abhorrent to you; you may not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses you shall detest. | 11They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination. | 11They are to remain detestable to you; you must not eat any of their meat, and you must detest their carcasses. |
| 12Anything living in the water that does not have fins and scales is to be regarded as unclean by you. | 12Everything in the waters that does not have fins and scales is detestable to you. | 12'Whatever in the water does not have fins and scales is abhorrent to you. | 12Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you. | 12Everything in the water that does not have fins and scales will be detestable to you." |
| 13"'These are the birds you are to regard as unclean and not eat because they are unclean: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture, | 13“And these you shall detest among the birds; they shall not be eaten; they are detestable: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture, | 13'These, moreover, you shall detest among the birds; they are abhorrent, not to be eaten: the eagle and the vulture and the buzzard, | 13And 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, | 13You are to detest these birds.
