Leviticus 11

 ¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,

 ²Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the animals which ye shall eat of all the beasts which are on the earth.

 ³Whatever hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts -- that shall ye eat.

 ⁴Only these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those with cloven hoofs: the camel, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs -- it shall be unclean unto you;

 ⁵and the rock-badger, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs -- it shall be unclean unto you;

 ⁶and the hare, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs -- it shall be unclean unto you;

 ⁷and the swine, for it hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, but it cheweth not the cud -- it shall be unclean unto you.

 ⁸Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch: they shall be unclean unto you.

 ⁹These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatever hath fins and scales in waters, in seas and in rivers, these shall ye eat;

 ¹⁰but all that have not fins and scales in seas and in rivers, of all that swarm in the waters, and of every living soul which is in the waters -- they shall be an abomination unto you.

 ¹¹They shall be even an abomination unto you: of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase ye shall have in abomination.

 ¹²Whatever in the waters hath no fins and scales, that shall be an abomination unto you.

 ¹³And these shall ye have in abomination of the fowls; they shall not be eaten; an abomination shall they be: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle,

 ¹⁴and the falcon, and the kite, after its kind;

 ¹⁵every raven after its kind;

 ¹⁶and the female ostrich and the male ostrich, and the sea-gull, and the hawk, after its kind;

 ¹⁷and the owl, and the gannet, and the ibis,

 ¹⁸and the swan, and the pelican, and the carrion vulture,

 ¹⁹and the stork; the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

 ²⁰Every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four shall be an abomination unto you.

 ²¹Yet these shall ye eat of every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four: those which have legs above their feet with which to leap upon the earth.

 ²²These shall ye eat of them: the arbeh after its kind, and the solam after its kind, and the hargol after its kind, and the hargab after its kind.

 ²³But every winged crawling thing that hath four feet shall be an abomination unto you.

 ²⁴And by these ye shall make yourselves unclean; whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.

 ²⁵And whoever carrieth [ought] of their carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even.

 ²⁶Every beast that hath cloven hoofs, but not feet quite split open, nor cheweth the cud, shall be unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.

 ²⁷And whatever goeth on its paws, among all manner of beasts that go upon all four, those are unclean unto you: whoever toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.

 ²⁸And he that carrieth their carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even: they shall be unclean unto you.

 ²⁹And these shall be unclean unto you among the crawling things which crawl on the earth: the mole, and the field-mouse, and the lizard, after its kind;

 ³⁰and the groaning lizard, and the great red lizard, and the climbing lizard, and the chomet, and the chameleon.

 ³¹These shall be unclean unto you among all that crawl: whoever toucheth them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even.

 ³²And on whatever any of them when they are dead doth fall, it shall be unclean; all vessels of wood, or garment, or skin, or sack, every vessel wherewith work is done -- it shall be put into water, and be unclean until the even; then shall it be clean.

 ³³And every earthen vessel into which [any] of them falleth -- whatever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.

 ³⁴All food that is eaten on which [such] water hath come shall be unclean; and all drink that is drunk shall be unclean, in every [such] vessel.

 ³⁵And everything where upon [any part] of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; oven and hearth shall be broken down: they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.

 ³⁶Nevertheless, a spring or a well, a quantity of water, shall be clean. But he that toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.

 ³⁷And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing-seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean;

 ³⁸but if water have been put on the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.

 ³⁹And if any beast which is to you for food die, he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.

 ⁴⁰And he that eateth of its carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even: he also that carrieth its carcase shall wash his garments, and be unclean until the even.

 ⁴¹And every crawling thing which crawleth on the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

 ⁴²Whatever goeth on the belly, and whatever goeth on all four, and all that have a great many feet, of every manner of crawling thing which crawleth on the earth -- these ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

 ⁴³Ye shall not make yourselves abominable through any crawling thing which crawleth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.

 ⁴⁴For I am Jehovah your God; and ye shall hallow yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy; and ye shall not make yourselves unclean through any manner of crawling thing which creepeth on the earth.

 ⁴⁵For I am Jehovah who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

 ⁴⁶This is the law of cattle, and of fowl, and of every living soul that moveth in the waters, and of every soul that crawleth on the earth;

 ⁴⁷to make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that is to be eaten and the beast that is not to be eaten.

Leviticus 12

 ¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

 ²Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman conceive seed, and bear a male, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of the separation of her infirmity shall she be unclean.

 ³And on the eighth day shall the flesh of his foreskin be circumcised.

 ⁴And she shall continue thirty-three days in the blood of her cleansing; no holy thing shall she touch, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her cleansing are fulfilled.

 ⁵And if she bear a female, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation; and she shall continue sixty-six days in the blood of her cleansing.

 ⁶And when the days of her cleansing are fulfilled, for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring a yearling lamb for a burnt-offering, and a young pigeon or a turtle-dove for a sin-offering, to the entrance of the tent of meeting, unto the priest.

 ⁷And he shall present it before Jehovah, and make atonement for her; and she shall be clean from the flux of her blood. This is the law for her that hath borne a male or a female.

 ⁸And if her hand cannot find what is sufficient for a sheep, she shall bring two turtle-doves or two young pigeons; one for a burnt-offering, and the other for a sin-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her; and she shall be clean.

Matthew 26

 ¹And it came to pass when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples,

 ²Ye know that after two days the passover takes place, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified.

 ³Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together to the palace of the high priest who was called Caiaphas,

 ⁴and took counsel together in order that they might seize Jesus by subtlety and kill him;

 ⁵but they said, Not in the feast, that there be not a tumult among the people.

 ⁶But Jesus being in Bethany, in Simon the leper's house,

 ⁷a woman, having an alabaster flask of very precious ointment, came to him and poured it out upon his head as he lay at table.

 ⁸But the disciples seeing it became indignant, saying, To what end [was] this waste?

 ⁹for this might have been sold for much and been given to the poor.

 ¹⁰But Jesus knowing [it] said to them, Why do ye trouble the woman? for she has wrought a good work toward me.

 ¹¹For ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always.

 ¹²For in pouring out this ointment on my body, she has done it for my burying.

 ¹³Verily I say to you, Wheresoever these glad tidings may be preached in the whole world, that also which this [woman] has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

 ¹⁴Then one of the twelve, he who was called Judas Iscariote, went to the chief priests

 ¹⁵and said, What are ye willing to give me, and *I* will deliver him up to you? And they appointed to him thirty pieces of silver.

 ¹⁶And from that time he sought a good opportunity that he might deliver him up.

 ¹⁷Now on the first [day] of [the feast of] unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?

 ¹⁸And he said, Go into the city unto such a one, and say to him, The Teacher says, My time is near, I will keep the passover in thy house with my disciples.

 ¹⁹And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the passover.

 ²⁰And when the evening was come he lay down at table with the twelve.

 ²¹And as they were eating he said, Verily I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up.

 ²²And being exceedingly grieved they began to say to him, each of them, Is it *I*, Lord?

 ²³But he answering said, He that dips his hand with me in the dish, *he* it is who shall deliver me up.

 ²⁴The Son of man goes indeed, according as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up; it were good for that man if he had not been born.

 ²⁵And Judas, who delivered him up, answering said, Is it *I*, Rabbi? He says to him, *Thou* hast said.
