Leviticus 11:5-27
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 11
5Likewise, the rock hyrax, for though it chews cud, it does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean to you. 6The rabbit also, for though it chews cud, it does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean to you. 7And the pig, for though it has a divided hoof, and so it shows a split hoof, it does not chew cud; it is unclean to you. 8You shall not eat any of their flesh nor touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.
9‘These you may eat, of whatever is in the water: everything that has fins and scales, in the water, in the seas, or in the rivers, you may eat.
10But 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,
11and they shall be detestable to you; you may not eat any of their flesh, and you shall detest their carcasses.
12Whatever in the water does not have fins and scales is detestable to you.
13‘Moreover, these you shall detest among the birds; they are detestable, not to be eaten: the eagle, the vulture, and the buzzard,
14the red kite, the falcon in its kind,
15every raven in its kind,
16the ostrich, the owl, the seagull, and the hawk in its kind,
17the little owl, the cormorant, and the great owl,
18the white owl, the pelican, and the carrion vulture,
19the stork, the heron in its kinds, the hoopoe, and the bat.
20‘All the winged insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you.
21Yet these you may eat among all the winged insects that walk on all fours: those which have jointed legs above their feet with which to jump on the earth.
22These of them you may eat: the locust in its kinds, the devastating locust in its kinds, the cricket in its kinds, and the grasshopper in its kinds.
23But all other winged insects which are four-footed are detestable to you.
24‘By these, moreover, you will be made unclean; whoever touches their carcasses becomes unclean until evening,
25and whoever picks up any of their carcasses shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening.
26As for all the animals which have a divided hoof but do not show a split hoof, or do not chew the cud, they are unclean to you; whoever touches them becomes unclean.
27Also whatever walks on its paws, among all the creatures that walk on all fours, are unclean to you; whoever touches their carcasses becomes unclean until evening,
King James Version
Chapter 11
5And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 6And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 7And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven-footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. 8Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you. 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. 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: 11They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcasses in abomination. 12Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you. 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 osprey, 14And the vulture, and the kite after his kind; 15Every raven after his kind; 16And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after his kind, 17And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, 18And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier-eagle, 19And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat. 20All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you. 21Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth; 22Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind. 23But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you. 24And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until the even. 25And whosoever beareth aught of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. 26The carcasses of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean. 27And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the even.Christian Standard Bible
9"This 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 these are to be abhorrent 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.
11They are to remain abhorrent to you; you must not eat any of their meat, and you must abhor their carcasses.
12Everything in the water that does not have fins and scales will be abhorrent to you.
20"All winged insects that walk on all fours are to be abhorrent to you.
21But you may eat these kinds of all the winged insects that walk on all fours: those that have jointed legs above their feet for hopping on the ground.
24"These will make you unclean. Whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until evening,
25and whoever carries any of their carcasses is to wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening.
26All animals that have hooves but do not have a divided hoof and do not chew the cud are unclean for you. Whoever touches them becomes unclean.
27All the four-footed animals that walk on their paws are unclean for you. Whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until evening,

Chapter 11
5The hyrax chews the cud but does not have split hooves, so it is unclean. 6The hare chews the cud but does not have split hooves, so it is unclean. 7The pig has evenly split hooves but does not chew the cud, so it is unclean. 8You may not eat the meat of these animals or even touch their carcasses. They are ceremonially unclean for you.
9Of all the marine animals, these are ones you may use for food. You may eat anything from the water if it has both fins and scales, whether taken from salt water or from streams.
10But you must never eat animals from the sea or from rivers that do not have both fins and scales. They are detestable to you. This applies both to little creatures that live in shallow water and to all creatures that live in deep water.
11They will always be detestable to you. You must never eat their meat or even touch their dead bodies.
12Any marine animal that does not have both fins and scales is detestable to you.

17the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,
18the barn owl, the desert owl, the Egyptian vulture,
19the stork, herons of all kinds, the hoopoe, and the bat.
20You must not eat winged insects that walk along the ground; they are detestable to you.
21You may, however, eat winged insects that walk along the ground and have jointed legs so they can jump.
22The insects you are permitted to eat include all kinds of locusts, bald locusts, crickets, and grasshoppers.
23All other winged insects that walk along the ground are detestable to you.
24The following creatures will make you ceremonially unclean. If any of you touch their carcasses, you will be defiled until evening.
25If you pick up their carcasses, you must wash your clothes, and you will remain defiled until evening.
26Any animal that has split hooves that are not evenly divided or that does not chew the cud is unclean for you. If you touch the carcass of such an animal, you will be defiled.
27Of the animals that walk on all fours, those that have paws are unclean. If you touch the carcass of such an animal, you will be defiled until evening.
