Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.

"These are the animals that you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat,

These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,

the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the mountain sheep.

"And any animal that has a divided hoof and has its hoofs split in two, and chews the cud, among the animals, that animal you may eat.

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

"However, you are not to eat these among the ones that chew the cud, or among those that have the hoof divided in two: the camel, the rabbit, and the rock hyrax, for though they chew the cud, they do not have a divided hoof; they are unclean to you.

Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you.

"And the pig, because it has a divided hoof but does not chew the cud, it is unclean for you. You shall not eat any of their flesh, nor touch their carcasses.

And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.

"These you may eat of everything that is in the water: anything that has fins and scales you may eat,

These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:

but anything that does not have fins and scales, you shall not eat; it is unclean for you.

And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.

"You may eat any clean bird.

Of all clean birds ye shall eat.

"But these are the ones that you shall not eat: the eagle and the vulture and the buzzard,

But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,

and the red kite, the falcon, and the kite in their kinds,

And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,

and every raven in its kind,

And every raven after his kind,

and the ostrich, the owl, the seagull, and the hawk in their kinds,

And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,

the little owl, the great owl, the white owl,

The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,

the pelican, the carrion vulture, the cormorant,

And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,

the stork, and the heron in their kinds, and the hoopoe and the bat.

"And all the swarming insects with wings are unclean to you; they shall not be eaten.

And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.

"You may eat any clean bird.

"You shall not eat anything which dies of itself. You may give it to the stranger who is in your town, so that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a stranger; for you are a holy people to the LORD your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.

Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
