Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.

These, are the beasts which ye may eat, - the ox, the young of sheep, and the young of goats;

the hart and the gazelle and the roebuck, - and the wild goat and the mountain goat, and the wild ox, and the mountain sheep.

And every beast that parteth the hoof and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, chewing the cud, among beasts, the same, shall ye eat.

Nevertheless these, shall ye not eat, of them that chew the cud, and of them that divide the cloven hoof, - the camel and the hare and the rabbit for, though they do chew the cud, yet the hoof, do they not part, unclean, they are unto you.

And, the swine, because though he doth divide the hoof, yet he cheweth not the cud, unclean, he is unto you, - of their flesh, shall ye not eat, and their carcases, shall ye not touch.

These, may ye eat of all that that are in the waters, - whatsoever hath fins and scales, ye may eat;

and, whatsoever hath not, fins and scales, ye may not eat, - unclean, it is unto you.

Of every clean bird, ye may eat;

saving these, of which ye may not eat, - the eagle and the ossifrage and the osprey;

and the vulture and the kite, and the falcon after its kind;

and every raven after its kind;

and the female ostrich, and the male ostrich and the sea-gull, - and the hawk, after its kind;

and the pelican and the bittern, and the swan;

and the vomiting pelican and the little vulture and the gannet;

and the stork, and the parrot, after its kind, - and the mountain-cock, and the bat.

And, as for every creeping thing that flieth, unclean, it is unto you, - they, shall not be eaten.

All clean fowls, ye may eat.

Ye shall not eat any thing that dieth of itself: to the sojourner who is within thy gates, mayest thou give it and he may eat it or thou mayest sell it to a foreigner, for a holy people, art thou unto Yahweh thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid, in the milk of its dam.
