Leviticus 11

1 Of beaſtes, fiſhes and birdes, which be cleane, and which be vncleane.
1.AFter, the Lord ſpake vnto Moſes & to Aarón, ſaying vnto them,
2.Speake vnto the children of Iſraél, and ſay, * Theſe are the beaſtes which ye " ſhal eat, among all the beaſtes that are on the earth.
3.Whatſoeuer parteth the b hoofe, and is clouen foted, and chaweth the cud among the beaſtes, that ſhal ye eat:
4.But of them that chewe the cud, or deuide the hoofe onely, of them ye ſhal not eat: as the camel, becauſe he cheweth the cud, and deuideth not the hoofe, he ſhalbe vncleane vnto you.
5.Likewiſe the conie, becauſe he cheweth the cud & deuideth not yͭ hoofe, he ſhalbe vncleane to you.
6.Alſo the hare, becauſe he cheweth the cud, & deuideth not the hoofe, he ſhalbe vncleane to you.
7.* And the ſwine, becauſe he parteth the hoofe and is clouen foted, but cheweth not the cud, he ſhalbe vncleane to you.
8.Of their fleſh ſhal ye not eat, and their carkeis ſhal ye not touche: for thei ſhalbe vncleane to you. c
9.¶ Theſe ſhal ye eat, of all that are in the waters: whatſoeuer hathe finnes & ſkales in the waters, in the ſeas, or in the riuers, them ſhal ye eat.
10.But all that haue not fins nor ſkales in the ſeas, or in yͭ riuers, of all that d moueth in the waters & of all e liuing things that are in the waters, thei ſhalbe an abominacion vnto you.
11.Thei, I ſay, ſhalbe an abominacion to you: ye ſhal not eat of their fleſh, but ſhal abhorre their carkeis.
12.Whatſoeuer hathe not fins nor ſkales in the waters, that ſhalbe abominacion vnto you.
13.¶ Theſe ſhal ye haue alſo in abominaciō amōg the foules, thei ſhal not be eaten: for they are an abominacion, the egle, and the " goſhauke, and the oſprey:
14.Alſo the vultur, and the kite after his kinde,
15.And all rauens afte: their kinde:
16.The oſtriche alſo, and the night crowe, and the " ſeamcawe, and the hauke after his kinde:
17.The litle owle alſo, and the cormorant, and the great owle.
18.Alſo the " redſhāke and the pelicane, and the ſwanne:
19.The ſtorke alſo, the heron after his kinde, and the lapwing, and the backe:
20.Alſo euerie foule that crepeth and goeth vpon all foure, ſuche ſhalbe an abominacion vnto you.
21.Yet theſe ſhal ye eat: of euerie foule that crepeth, and goeth vpon all foure which " haue their fete and leggs all of one to leape wͭall vpon the earth,
22.Of them ye ſhal eat theſe, the graſhoper after his kinde, and the f ſolcan after his kinde, the hargol after his kinde, and the hagab after his kinde.
23.But all other foules yͭ crepe & haue foure fete, thei ſhalbe abominacion vnto you.
24.For by ſuche ye ſhalbe polluted. whoſoeuer toucheth their carkeis, ſhalbe vncleane vnto the euening.
25.Whoſoeuer alſo g beareth of their carkeis, ſhal waſh his clothes, and be vncleane vntil euen.
26.Euerie beaſt that hathe clawes deuided, and is " not clouen foted, nor cheweth the cud, ſuche ſhalbe vncleane vnto you: euerie one yͭ toucheth thē, ſhalbe vncleane.
27.And whatſoeuer goeth vpon his pawes among all maner beaſtes that goeth on all foure, ſuche ſhalbe vncleane vnto you: whoſo doeth touche their carkeis ſhalbe vncleane vntil the euen.
28.And he that beareth their carkeis, ſhal waſh his clothes, and be vncleane vntil the euen: for ſuche ſhalbe vncleane vnto you.
29.¶ Alſo theſe ſhalbe vncleane to you amōg the things that crepe and moue vpon the earth, the weaſel, and the mouſe, and the h frog, after his kinde:
30.Alſo the rat, and the lizard, and the chameleon, and the " ſtellio, and the molle.
31.Theſe ſhalbe vncleane to you amōg all yt crepe: whoſoeuer doeth touche thē when thei be dead, ſhalbe vncleane vntil the euē.
32.Alſo whatſoeuer anie of the dead carkeifes of them doeth fall vpon, ſhalbe vncleane, whether it be veſſel of wood, or raiment, or i ſkin, or ſacke: whatſoeuer veſſel it be that is occupied, it ſhalbe put in the water as vncleane vntil the euen, and ſo be purified.
33.But euerie earthē veſſel, whereinto anie of them falleth, whatſoeuer is with in it ſhal be vncleane, and * ye ſhal breake it.
34.All meat alſo that ſhalbe eaten, if anie ſuche water come vpon it, ſhalbe vncleane: and all drinke that ſhalbe dronke in all ſuche veſſels ſhalbe vncleane.
35.And euerie thing that their carkeis fall vpon, ſhalbe vncleane: the fornais or the pot ſhalbe broken: for thei are vncleane, and ſhalbe vncleane vnto you.
36.Yet the fountaines & welles where there is plentie of water ſhal be cleane: but that which k toucheth their carkeifes ſhal be vncleane.
37.And if there fall of their dead carkeis vpon anie ſede, which vſeth to be ſowen, it ſhal be cleane.
38.But if anie l water be powred vpon the ſede, and there fall of their dead carkeis thereon, it ſhalbe vncleane vnto you.
39.If alſo anie beaſt, whereof ye may eat, dye, he that toucheth the carkeis thereof ſhalbe vncleane vntil the euen.
40.And he that eateth of the carkeis of it, ſhal waſh his clothes and be vncleane vntil the euen: he alſo that beareth the carkeis of it, ſhal waſh his clothes, and be vncleane vntil the euen.
41.Euerie creping thing therefore that crepeth vpon the earth ſhalbe an abominacion, and not be eaten.
42.Whatſoeuer goeth vpon the breaſt, and whatſoeuer goeth vpon all foure, or that hathe manie fete amōg all creping things that crepe vpon the earth, ye ſhal not eat of them, for thei ſhalbe abominacion.
43.Ye ſhal not pollute your ſelues with anie thing yt crepeth, nether make your ſelues vncleane wt them, nether defile your ſelues thereby ye ſhal not, I ſay, be defiled by thē,
44.For I am the Lord your God: be ſanctified therefore, and be m holy, for I am holy, and defile not your ſelues with anie creping thing, that crepeth vpon the earth.
45.For I am the Lord that broght you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God, and that you ſhulde be holy, for I am holy.
46.This is the lawe of beaſtes, & of foules, and of euerie liuing thing that moueth in the waters, and of euerie thing that crepeth vpon the earth:
47.That there may be a difference betwene the vncleane and cleane, and betwene the beaſt that may be eaten, & the beaſt that oght not to be eaten.
