Leviticus 11

1  And Jehovah spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,

2  Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the living things which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

3  Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, `and' cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.

4  Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that part the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.

5  And the coney, because he cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.

6  And the hare, because she cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, she is unclean unto you.

7  And the swine, because he parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you.

8  Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch; they are unclean unto you.

9  These may ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that may ye eat.

10  And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination unto you,
