You must not eat any detestable thing. These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat, the deer, the gazelle, the fallow deer, the wild goat, and the ibex, and the antelope, and the mountain sheep. You may eat every animal with divided hooves, with the hoof divided into two parts, and that chews the cud. Nevertheless, you may not eat of these that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: the camel, the rabbit, and the coney. For they chew the cud, but their hoof is not divided, therefore they are unclean to you. The pig is unclean to you because it divides the hoof, yet it does not chew the cud. You must not eat of their flesh or touch their dead carcass.

These you shall eat of all that are in the water: All that have fins and scales you may eat. 10 Whatever does not have fins and scales you may not eat. It is unclean to you.

11 You may eat of all clean birds. 12 However, these are the ones which you cannot eat: the eagle, the vulture, the buzzard, 13 the red kite, the falcon, and the kite after its kind, 14 every raven after its kind, 15 and the ostrich, the owl, the seagull, and the hawk after its kind, 16 the little owl, and the great owl, and the white owl, 17 the pelican, the carrion vulture, and the cormorant, 18 the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

19 Every creeping thing that flies is unclean to you. They must not be eaten. 20 You may eat all the clean birds.

21 You must not eat of anything that dies of itself, but you may give it to the foreigner that is in your gates, so that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner, for you are a holy people to the Lord your God.

You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.

Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing. These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat, the hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois. And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat. Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you. And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.

These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat: 10 and whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.

11 Of all clean birds ye shall eat. 12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, 13 and the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind, 14 and every raven after his kind, 15 and the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, 16 the little owl, and the great owl, and the swan, 17 and the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant, 18 and the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat. 19 And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten. 20 But of all clean fowls ye may eat.

21 Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
