Leviticus 11

    ²Say to the children of Israel: These are the animals which you are to eat of all the living things of the earth.

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

    ⁴But whatsoever cheweth indeed the cud, and hath a hoof, but divideth it not, as the camel, and others, that you shall not eat, but shall reckon it among the unclean.

    ⁵The cherogrillus which cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof, is unclean.

    ⁶The hare also: for that too cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof.

    ⁷And the swine, which, though it divideth the hoof, cheweth not the cud.

    ⁸The flesh of these you shall not eat, nor shall you touch their carcasses, because they are unclean to you.

    ⁹These are the things that breed in the waters, and which it is lawful to eat. All that hath fins, and scales, as well in the sea, as in the rivers, and the pools, you shall eat.

    ¹⁰But whatsoever hath not fins and scales, of those things that move and live in the waters, shall be an abomination to you,

    ¹¹And detestable : their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall avoid.

    ¹²All that have not fins and scales, in the waters, shall be unclean.

    ¹³Of birds these are they which you must not eat, and which are to be avoided by you: The eagle, and the griffon, and the osprey,

    ¹⁴And the kite, and the vulture, according to their kind,

    ¹⁵And all that is of the raven kind, according to their likeness.

    ¹⁶The ostrich, and the owl, and the larus, and the hawk according to its kind.

    ¹⁷The screech owl, and the cormorant, and the ibis,

    ¹⁸And the swan, and the bittern, and the porphyrion,

    ¹⁹The heron, and the charadrion according to its kind, the houp also, and the bat.

    ²⁰Of things that fly, whatsoever goeth upon four feet, shall be abominable to you.

    ²¹But whatsoever walketh upon four feet, but hath the legs behind longer, wherewith it hoppeth upon the earth,

    ²²That you shall eat, as the bruchus in its kind, the attacus, and ophiomachus, and the locust, every one according to their kind.

    ²³But of dying things whatsoever hath four feet only, shall be an abomination to you:

    ²⁴And whosoever shall touch the carcasses of them, shall be defiled, and shall be unclean until the evening:

    ²⁵And if it be necessary that he carry any of these things when they are dead, he shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the sun set.

    ²⁶Every beast that hath a hoof, but divideth it not, nor cheweth the cud, shall be unclean: and he that toucheth it, shall be defiled.

    ²⁷That which walketh upon hands of all animals which go on all four, shall be unclean: he that shall touch their carcasses shall be defiled until evening.

    ²⁸And he that shall carry such carcasses, shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until evening: because all these things are unclean to you.

    ²⁹These also shall be reckoned among unclean things, of all that move upon the earth, the weasel, and the mouse, and the crocodile, every one according to their kind:

    ³⁰The shrew, and the chameleon, and the stello, and the lizard, and the mole:

    ³¹31All these are unclean. He that toucheth their carcasses shall be unclean until the evening.

    ³²And upon what thing soever any of their carcasses shall fall, it shall be defiled, whether it be a vessel of wood, or a garment, or skins or haircloths; or any thing in which work is done, they shall be dipped in water, and shall be unclean until the evening, and so afterwards shall be clean.

    ³³But an earthen vessel, into which any of these shall fall, shall be defiled, and therefore is to be broken.

    ³⁴Any meat which you eat, if water from such a vessel be poured upon it, shall be unclean; and every liquor that is drunk out of any such vessel, shall be unclean.

    ³⁵And upon whatsoever thing any of these dead beasts shall fall, it shall be unclean: whether it be oven, or pots with feet, they shall be destroyed, and shall be unclean.

    ³⁶But fountains and cisterns, and all gatherings together of waters shall be clean. He that toucheth their carcasses shall be defiled.

    ³⁷If it fall upon seed corn, it shall not defile it.

    ³⁸But if any man pour water upon the seed, and afterwards it be touched by the carcasses, it shall be forthwith defiled.

    ³⁹If any beast die, of which it is lawful for you to eat, he that toucheth the carcass thereof, shall be unclean until the evening:

    ⁴⁰And he that eateth or carrieth any thing thereof, shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the evening.

    ⁴¹41All that creepeth upon the earth shall be abominable, neither shall it be taken for meat.

    ⁴²Whatsoever goeth upon the breast on four feet, or hath many feet, or traileth on the earth, you shall not eat, because it is abominable.

    ⁴³Do not defile your souls, nor touch aught thereof, lest you be unclean,

    ⁴⁴For I am the Lord your God: be holy because I am holy. Defile not your souls by any creeping thing, that moveth upon the earth.

    ⁴⁵For I am the Lord, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might be your God.

    ⁴⁶You shall be holy, because I am holy. This is the law of beasts and fowls, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and creepeth on the earth:

    ⁴⁷That you may know the differences of the clean, and unclean, and know what you ought to eat, and what to refuse.

Leviticus 12

    ²Speak 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 the separation of her flowers.

    ³And on the eighth day the infant shall be circumcised:

    ⁴But 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.

    ⁵But 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.

    ⁶And 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:

    ⁷Who 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.

    ⁸And 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

    ²You know that after two days shall be the pasch, and the son of man shall be delivered up to be crucified:

    ³Then were gathered together the chief priests and ancients of the people into the court of the high priest, who was called Caiphas:

    ⁴And they consulted together, that by subtilty they might apprehend Jesus, and put him to death.

    ⁵But they said: Not on the festival day, lest perhaps there should be a tumult among the people.

    ⁶And when Jesus was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper,

    ⁷There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of precious ointment, and poured it on his head as he was at table.

    ⁸And the disciples seeing it, had indignation, saying: To what purpose is this waste?

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

    ¹⁰And Jesus knowing it, said to them: Why do you trouble this woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

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

    ¹²For she in pouring this ointment upon my body, hath done it for my burial.

    ¹³Amen 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.

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

    ¹⁵And said to them: What will you give me, and I will deliver him unto you? But they appointed him thirty pieces of silver.

    ¹⁶And from thenceforth he sought opportunity to betray him.

    ¹⁷And 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?

    ¹⁸But 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.

    ¹⁹And the disciples did as Jesus appointed to them, and they prepared the pasch.

    ²⁰But when it was evening, he sat down with his twelve disciples.

    ²¹And whilst they were eating, he said: Amen I say to you, that one of you is about to betray me.

    ²²And they being very much troubled, began every one to say: Is it I, Lord?

    ²³But he answering, said: He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, he shall betray me.

    ²⁴The 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.

    ²⁵And Judas that betrayed him, answering, said: Is it I, Rabbi? He saith to him: Thou hast said it.
