03:010:019 And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such things have befallen me: and if I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of the LORD?

03:010:020 And when Moses heard that, he was content.

03:011:001 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,

03:011:002 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

03:011:003 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.

03:011:004 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

03:011:005 And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

03:011:006 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

03:011:007 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.

03:011:008 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.

03:011:009 These 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.

03:011:010 And 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:

03:011:011 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.

03:011:012 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

03:011:013 And 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 ospray,

03:011:014 And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;

03:011:015 Every raven after his kind;

03:011:016 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,

03:011:017 And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,

03:011:018 And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,

03:011:019 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

03:011:020 All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.

03:011:021 Yet 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;

03:011:022 Even 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.

03:011:023 But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.

03:011:024 And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.

03:011:025 And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

03:011:026 The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.
