Leviticus 11

New Revised Standard NRS

1 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them:

2 Speak to the people of Israel, saying: From among all the land animals, these are the creatures that you may eat.

3 Any animal that has divided hoofs and is cleft-footed and chews the cud—such you may eat.

4 But among those that chew the cud or have divided hoofs, you shall not eat the following: the camel, for even though it chews the cud, it does not have divided hoofs; it is unclean for you.

5 The rock badger, for even though it chews the cud, it does not have divided hoofs; it is unclean for you.

6 The hare, for even though it chews the cud, it does not have divided hoofs; it is unclean for you.

7 The pig, for even though it has divided hoofs and is cleft-footed, it does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you.

8 Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch; they are unclean for you.

9 These you may eat, of all that are in the waters. Everything in the waters that has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the streams—such you may eat.

10 But anything in the seas or the streams that does not have fins and scales, of the swarming creatures in the waters and among all the other living creatures that are in the waters—they are detestable to you

11 and detestable they shall remain. Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall regard as detestable.

12 Everything in the waters that does not have fins and scales is detestable to you.

13 These you shall regard as detestable among the birds. They shall not be eaten; they are an abomination: the eagle, the vulture, the osprey,

14 the buzzard, the kite of any kind;

15 every raven of any kind;

16 the ostrich, the nighthawk, the sea gull, the hawk of any kind;

17 the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,

18 the water hen, the desert owl, the carrion vulture,

19 the stork, the heron of any kind, the hoopoe, and the bat.

20 All winged insects that walk upon all fours are detestable to you.

21 But among the winged insects that walk on all fours you may eat those that have jointed legs above their feet, with which to leap on the ground.

22 Of them you may eat: the locust according to its kind, the bald locust according to its kind, the cricket according to its kind, and the grasshopper according to its kind.

23 But all other winged insects that have four feet are detestable to you.

24 By these you shall become unclean; whoever touches the carcass of any of them shall be unclean until the evening,

25 and whoever carries any part of the carcass of any of them shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.

26 Every animal that has divided hoofs but is not cleft-footed or does not chew the cud is unclean for you; everyone who touches one of them shall be unclean.

27 All that walk on their paws, among the animals that walk on all fours, are unclean for you; whoever touches the carcass of any of them shall be unclean until the evening,

28 and the one who carries the carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean for you.

29 These are unclean for you among the creatures that swarm upon the earth: the weasel, the mouse, the great lizard according to its kind,

30 the gecko, the land crocodile, the lizard, the sand lizard, and the chameleon.

31 These are unclean for you among all that swarm; whoever touches one of them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening.

32 And anything upon which any of them falls when they are dead shall be unclean, whether an article of wood or cloth or skin or sacking, any article that is used for any purpose; it shall be dipped into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening, and then it shall be clean.

33 And if any of them falls into any earthen vessel, all that is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break the vessel.

34 Any food that could be eaten shall be unclean if water from any such vessel comes upon it; and any liquid that could be drunk shall be unclean if it was in any such vessel.

35 Everything on which any part of the carcass falls shall be unclean; whether an oven or stove, it shall be broken in pieces; they are unclean, and shall remain unclean for you.

36 But a spring or a cistern holding water shall be clean, while whatever touches the carcass in it shall be unclean.

37 If any part of their carcass falls upon any seed set aside for sowing, it is clean;

38 but if water is put on the seed and any part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean for you.

39 If an animal of which you may eat dies, anyone who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

40 Those who eat of its carcass shall wash their clothes and be unclean until the evening; and those who carry the carcass shall wash their clothes and be unclean until the evening.

41 All creatures that swarm upon the earth are detestable; they shall not be eaten.

42 Whatever moves on its belly, and whatever moves on all fours, or whatever has many feet, all the creatures that swarm upon the earth, you shall not eat; for they are detestable.

43 You shall not make yourselves detestable with any creature that swarms; you shall not defile yourselves with them, and so become unclean.

44 For I am the Lord your God; sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy. You shall not defile yourselves with any swarming creature that moves on the earth.

45 For I am the Lord who brought you up from the land of Egypt, to be your God; you shall be holy, for I am holy.

46 This is the law pertaining to land animal and bird and every living creature that moves through the waters and every creature that swarms upon the earth,

47 to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living creature that may be eaten and the living creature that may not be eaten.

The Message Bible MSG

1 God spoke to Moses and Aaron:

2 "Speak to the People of Israel. Tell them: Of all the animals on Earth, these are the animals that you may eat:

3 "You may eat any animal that has a split hoof, divided in two, and that chews the cud,

4 but not an animal that only chews the cud or only has a split hoof. For instance, the camel chews the cud but doesn't have a split hoof, so it's unclean.

5 The rock badger chews the cud but doesn't have a split hoof and so it's unclean.

6 The rabbit chews the cud but doesn't have a split hoof so is unclean.

7 The pig has a split hoof, divided in two, but doesn't chew the cud and so is unclean.

8 You may not eat their meat nor touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.

9 "Among the creatures that live in the water of the seas and streams, you may eat any that have fins and scales.

10 But anything that doesn't have fins and scales, whether in seas or streams, whether small creatures in the shallows or huge creatures in the deeps, you are to detest.

11 Yes, detest them. Don't eat their meat; detest their carcasses.

12 Anything living in the water that doesn't have fins and scales is detestable to you.

13 "These are the birds you are to detest. Don't eat them. They are detestable: eagle, vulture, osprey,

14 kite, all falcons,

15 all ravens,

16 ostrich, nighthawk, sea gull, all hawks,

17 owl, cormorant, ibis,

18 water hen, pelican, Egyptian vulture,

19 stork, all herons, hoopoe, bat.

20 "All flying insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you.

21 But you can eat some of these, namely, those that have jointed legs for hopping on the ground:

22 all locusts, katydids, crickets, and grasshoppers.

23 But all the other flying insects that have four legs you are to detest.

24 "You will make yourselves ritually unclean until evening if you touch their carcasses.

25 If you pick up one of their carcasses you must wash your clothes and you'll be unclean until evening.

26 "Every animal that has a split hoof that's not completely divided, or that doesn't chew the cud is unclean for you; if you touch the carcass of any of them you become unclean.

27 "Every four-footed animal that goes on its paws is unclean for you; if you touch its carcass you are unclean until evening.

28 If you pick up its carcass you must wash your clothes and are unclean until evening. They are unclean for you.

29 "Among the creatures that crawl on the ground, the following are unclean for you: weasel, rat, all lizards,

30 gecko, monitor lizard, wall lizard, skink, chameleon.

31 Among the crawling creatures, these are unclean for you. If you touch them when they are dead, you are ritually unclean until evening.

32 When one of them dies and falls on something, that becomes unclean no matter what it's used for, whether it's made of wood, cloth, hide, or sackcloth. Put it in the water - it's unclean until evening, and then it's clean.

33 If one of these dead creatures falls into a clay pot, everything in the pot is unclean and you must break the pot.

34 Any food that could be eaten but has water on it from such a pot is unclean, and any liquid that could be drunk from it is unclean.

35 Anything that one of these carcasses falls on is unclean - an oven or cooking pot must be broken up; they're unclean and must be treated as unclean.

36 A spring, though, or a cistern for collecting water remains clean, but if you touch one of these carcasses you're ritually unclean.

37 If a carcass falls on any seeds that are to be planted, they remain clean.

38 But if water has been put on the seed and a carcass falls on it, you must treat it as unclean.

39 "If an animal that you are permitted to eat dies, anyone who touches the carcass is ritually unclean until evening.

40 If you eat some of the carcass you must wash your clothes and you are unclean until evening. If you pick up the carcass you must wash your clothes and are unclean until evening.

41 "Creatures that crawl on the ground are detestable and not to be eaten.

42 Don't eat creatures that crawl on the ground, whether on their belly or on all fours or on many feet - they are detestable.

43 Don't make yourselves unclean or be defiled by them, because I am your God.

44 "Make yourselves holy for I am holy. Don't make yourselves ritually unclean by any creature that crawls on the ground.

45 I am God who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Be holy because I am holy.

46 "These are the instructions on animals, birds, fish, and creatures that crawl on the ground.

47 You have to distinguish between the ritually unclean and the clean, between living creatures that can be eaten and those that cannot be eaten."
