3 Whatsoever hath the hoof divided, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, you shall eat.

22 That you shall eat: as the bruchus in its kind, the attacus, and ophimachus, and the locust, every, one according to their kind.
23 But of flying things whatsoever hath four feet only, shall be an abomination to you.

Leviticus 12

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: If a woman having received seed shall bear a man child, she shall be unclean seven days, according to the days of separation of her flowers.
3 And on the eighth day the infant shall be circumcised:
4 But she shall remain three and thirty days in the blood of her purification. She shall touch no holy thing: neither shall she enter into the sanctuary, until the days of her purification, be fulfilled.
5 But if she shall bear a maid child, she shall be unclean two weeks, according to the custom of her monthly courses. And she shall remain in the blood of her purification sixty-six days.
6 And when the days of her purification are expired, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, a lamb of a year old for a holocaust, and a young pigeon or a turtle for sin: and shall deliver them to the priest.
7 Who shall offer them before the Lord, and shall pray for her: and so she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that beareth a man child or a maid child.
8 And if her hand find not sufficiency, and she is not able to offer a lamb, she shall take two turtles, or two young pigeons, one for a holocaust, and another for sin: and the priest shall pray for her, and so she shall be cleansed.

Matthew 26:1-25

1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended all these words, he said to his disciples:
2 You know that after two days shall be the pasch: and the Son of man shall be delivered up to be crucified.
3 Then were gathered together the chief priests and ancients of the people, into the court of the high priest, who was called Caiphas:
4 And they consulted together that by subtilty they might apprehend Jesus and put him to death.
5 But they said: Not on the festival day, lest perhaps there should be a tumult among the people.
6 And when Jesus was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of precious ointment and poured it on his head as he was at table.
8 And the disciples seeing it had indignation, saying: To what purpose is this waste?
9 For this might have been sold for much and given to the poor.
10 And Jesus knowing it, said to them: Why do you trouble this woman? For she hath wrought a good work upon me.
11 For the poor you have always with you: but me you have not always.
12 For she in pouring this ointment on my body hath done it for my burial.
13 Amen I say to you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which she hath done shall be told for a memory of her.
14 Then went one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests.
15 And said to them: What will you give me, and I will deliver him unto you? But they appointed him thirty pieces of silver.
16 And from thenceforth he sought opportunity to betray him.
17 And on the first day of the Azymes, the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the pasch?
18 But Jesus said: Go ye into the city to a certain man and say to him: The master saith, My time is near at hand. With thee I make the pasch with my disciples.
19 And the disciples did as Jesus appointed to them: and they prepared the pasch.
20 But when it was evening, he sat down with his twelve disciples.
21 And whilst they were eating, he said: Amen I say to you that one of you is about to betray me.
22 And they being very much troubled began every one to say: Is it I, Lord?
23 But he answering said: He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, he shall betray me.
24 The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him. But woe to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed. It were better for him, if that man had not been born.
25 And Judas that betrayed him answering, said: Is it I, Rabbi? He saith to him: Thou hast said it.
