And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no fat, of ox, or sheep, or goat.
And the fat of that which dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn of beasts, may be used for any other service; but ye shall in no wise eat of it.
For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people.
And ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of bird or of beast, in any of your dwellings.
Whosoever it be that eateth any blood, that soul shall be cut off from his people.
And Jehovah spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the living things which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and {Hebrew: bringeth up.}cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.
Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that part the hoof: the camel, because he {Hebrew: bringeth up.}cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.
And the {Hebrew: shaphan, the Hyrax Syriacus or rock-badger.}coney, because he {Hebrew: bringeth up.}cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, he is unclean unto you.
And the hare, because she {Hebrew: bringeth up.}cheweth the cud but parteth not the hoof, she is unclean unto you.
And the swine, because he parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, but {Hebrew: bringeth up.}cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you.
Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch; they are unclean unto you.
These may ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that may ye eat.
And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination unto you,
and they shall be an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses ye shall have in abomination.
Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination unto you.
And these ye shall have in abomination among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the {Or, great vulture}eagle, and the gier-eagle, and the ospray,
and the kite, and the falcon after its kind,
every raven after its kind,
and the ostrich, and the {Hebrew: tahmas, of uncertain meaning.}night-hawk, and the sea-mew, and the hawk after its kind,
and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
and the {Or, swan}horned owl, and the pelican, and the vulture,
and the stork, the {Or, ibis}heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
All winged creeping things that go upon all fours are an abomination unto you.
Yet these may ye eat of all winged creeping things that go upon all fours, which have legs above their feet, wherewith to leap upon the earth.
Even these of them ye may eat: the {Four kinds of locusts or grasshoppers, which are not certainly known.}locust after its kind, and the {Four kinds of locusts or grasshoppers, which are not certainly known.}bald locust after its kind, and the {Four kinds of locusts or grasshoppers, which are not certainly known.}cricket after its kind, and the {Four kinds of locusts or grasshoppers, which are not certainly known.}grasshopper after its kind.
But all winged creeping things, which have four feet, are an abomination unto you.
And by these ye shall become unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcass of them shall be unclean until the even;
And whosoever beareth aught of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
Every beast which parteth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, is unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.
And whatsoever goeth upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all fours, they are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcass shall be unclean until the even.
And he that beareth the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.
And these are they which are unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard after its kind,
and the {Words of uncertain meaning, but probably denoting four kinds of lizards.}gecko, and the {Words of uncertain meaning, but probably denoting four kinds of lizards.}land-crocodile, and the {Words of uncertain meaning, but probably denoting four kinds of lizards.}lizard, and the {Words of uncertain meaning, but probably denoting four kinds of lizards.}sand-lizard, and the chameleon.
These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even.
And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherewith any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; then shall it be clean.
And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean, and it ye shall break.
All food therein which may be eaten, that on which water cometh, shall be unclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.
And every thing whereupon any part of their carcass falleth shall be unclean; whether oven, or {Or, stewpan}range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces: they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.
Nevertheless a fountain or a {Or, cistern}pit wherein is a gathering of water shall be clean: but {Or, he who}that which toucheth their carcass shall be unclean.
And if aught of their carcass fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.
But if water be put upon the seed, and aught of their carcass fall thereon, it is unclean unto you.
And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the even.
And he that eateth of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth is an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all fours, or whatsoever hath many feet, even all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.
For I am Jehovah your God: sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that moveth upon the earth.
For I am Jehovah that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
This is the law of the beast, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth;
to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they hallow unto me, and that they profane not my holy name: I am Jehovah.
Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed throughout your generations, that approacheth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto Jehovah, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before me: I am Jehovah.
What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth {Or, any one}anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;
or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;
the soul that toucheth any such shall be unclean until the even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his flesh in water.
And when the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
That which dieth of itself, or is torn of beasts, he shall not eat, to defile himself therewith:—I am Jehovah.
They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it: I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.
There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest's, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
But if a priest buy any soul, the purchase of his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread.
And if a priest's daughter be married unto a stranger, she shall not eat of the heave-offering of the holy things.
But if a priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and be returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's bread: but there shall no stranger eat thereof.
And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give unto the priest the holy thing.
And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto Jehovah,
and so cause them to bear the iniquity that bringeth guilt, when they eat their holy things: for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whosoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, that offereth his oblation, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill-offerings, which they offer unto Jehovah for a burnt-offering;
that ye may be accepted, ye shall offer a male without blemish, of the bullocks, of the sheep, or of the goats.
But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.
And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah to {Or, make a special vow }accomplish a vow, or for a freewill-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.
Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having {Or, sores}a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto Jehovah, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto Jehovah.
Either a bullock or a lamb that hath anything superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill-offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
That which hath its stones bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut, ye shall not offer unto Jehovah; neither shall ye {Or, sacrifice them}do thus in your land.
Neither from the hand of a foreigner shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, there is a blemish in them: they shall not be accepted for you.
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for the oblation of an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.
And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto Jehovah, ye shall sacrifice it that ye may be accepted.
On the same day it shall be eaten; ye shall leave none of it until the morning: I am Jehovah.
Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am Jehovah.
And ye shall not profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am Jehovah who halloweth you,
who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah.
And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled {Or, in spirit}with the Spirit;
