:

Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud among the animals, that you may eat.

:

“‘Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because he chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, he is unclean to you.

:

The coney, because he chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, he is unclean to you.

:

The hare, because she chews the cud but doesn’t part the hoof, she is unclean to you.

:

The pig, because he has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn’t chew the cud, he is unclean to you.

:

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

:

“‘These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that you may eat.

:

All that don’t have fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you,

:

and you detest them. You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall detest their carcasses.

:

Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination to you.

:

“‘These you shall detest among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the black vulture,

:

and the red kite, any kind of black kite,

:

any kind of raven,

:

the horned owl, the screech owl, and the gull, any kind of hawk,

:

the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,

:

the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,

:

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

:

“‘All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you.

:

Yet you may eat these: of all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to hop on the earth.

:

Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper.

:

But all winged creeping things which have four feet, are an abomination to you.

:

“‘By these you will become unclean: whoever touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening.

:

Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

:

“‘Every animal which parts the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, nor chews the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean.

:

Whatever goes on its paws, among all animals that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

:

He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. They are unclean to you.

:

“‘These are they which are unclean to you among the creeping things that creep on the earth: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,

:

the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the chameleon.

:

These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the evening.

:

On whatever any of them falls when they are dead, it shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; then it will be clean.

:

Every earthen vessel, into which any of them falls, all that is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break it.

:

All food which may be eaten, that on which water comes, shall be unclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.

:

Everything whereupon part of their carcass falls shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces: they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.

:

Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is a gathered shall be clean: but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.

:

If part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.

:

But if water is put on the seed, and part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.

:

“‘If any animal, of which you may eat, dies; he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

:

He who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. He also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

:

“‘Every creeping thing that creeps on the earth is an abomination. It shall not be eaten.

:

Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, even all creeping things that creep on the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

:

You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps, neither shall you make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled thereby.

:

For I am Yahweh your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy: neither shall you defile yourselves with any kind of creeping thing that moves on the earth.

:

For I am Yahweh who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

:

“‘This is the law of the animal, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the earth,

:

to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.’”

:

Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

:

“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If a woman conceives, and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of her monthly period she shall be unclean.

:

In the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.

:

She shall continue in the blood of purification thirty-three days. She shall not touch any holy thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying are completed.

:

But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her period; and she shall continue in the blood of purification sixty-six days.

:

“‘When the days of her purification are completed, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the door of the Tent of Meeting, a year old lamb for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering:

:

and he shall offer it before Yahweh, and make atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood. “‘This is the law for her who bears, whether a male or a female.

:

If she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons; the 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.’”

:

Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

:

“When a man shall have a rising in his body’s skin, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes in the skin of his body the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons, the priests:

:

and the priest shall examine the plague in the skin of the body: and if the hair in the plague has turned white, and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the body’s skin, it is the plague of leprosy; and the priest shall examine him, and pronounce him unclean.

:

If the bright spot is white in the skin of his body, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and its hair hasn’t turned white, then the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.

:

The priest shall examine him on the seventh day, and, behold, if in his eyes the plague is arrested, and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall isolate him for seven more days.

:

The priest shall examine him again on the seventh day; and behold, if the plague has faded, and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab. He shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

:

But if the scab spreads on the skin, after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again.

:

The priest shall examine him; and behold, if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is leprosy.

:

“When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest;

:

and the priest shall examine him. Behold, if there is a white rising in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the rising,

:

it is a chronic leprosy in the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. He shall not isolate him, for he is unclean.

:

“If the leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of the infected person from his head even to his feet, as far as it appears to the priest;

:

then the priest shall examine him; and, behold, if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean of the plague. It has all turned white: he is clean.

:

But whenever raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean.

:

The priest shall examine the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean. It is leprosy.

:

Or if the raw flesh turns again, and is changed to white, then he shall come to the priest;

:

and the priest shall examine him; and, behold, if the plague has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean of the plague. He is clean.

:

“When the body has a boil on its skin, and it has healed,

:

and in the place of the boil there is a white rising, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest;

:

and the priest shall examine it; and behold, if its appearance is lower than the skin, and its hair has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. It has broken out in the boil.

:

But if the priest examines it, and behold, there are no white hairs in it, and it isn’t deeper than the skin, but is dim, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.

:

If it spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a plague.

:

But if the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread, it is the scar from the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

:

“Or when the body has a burn from fire on its skin, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white, or white,

:

then the priest shall examine it; and behold, if the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and its appearance is deeper than the skin; it is leprosy. It has broken out in the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.

:

But if the priest examines it, and behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it isn’t lower than the skin, but is faded; then the priest shall isolate him seven days.

:

The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. If it has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.

:

If the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread in the skin, but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is the scar from the burn.

:

“When a man or woman has a plague on the head or on the beard,

:

then the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is yellow and thin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is an itch, it is leprosy of the head or of the beard.

:

If the priest examines the plague of itching, and behold, its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall isolate him the person infected with itching seven days.

:

On the seventh day the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread, and there is no yellow hair in it, and the appearance of the itch isn’t deeper than the skin,

:

then he shall be shaved, but he shall not shave the itch; and the priest shall shut him up who has the itch seven more days.

:

On the seventh day, the priest shall examine the itch; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread in the skin, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

:

But if the itch spreads in the skin after his cleansing,

:

then the priest shall examine him; and behold, if the itch has spread in the skin, the priest shall not look for the yellow hair; he is unclean.

:

But if in his eyes the itch is arrested, and black hair has grown in it; the itch is healed, he is clean. The priest shall pronounce him clean.

:

“When a man or a woman has bright spots in the skin of the body, even white bright spots;

:

then the priest shall examine them; and behold, if the bright spots on the skin of their body are a dull white, it is a harmless rash, it has broken out in the skin; he is clean.

:

“If a man’s hair has fallen from his head, he is bald. He is clean.

:

If his hair has fallen off from the front part of his head, he is forehead bald. He is clean.

:

But if there is in the bald head, or the bald forehead, a reddish-white plague; it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head, or his bald forehead.

:

Then the priest shall examine him; and, behold, if the rising of the plague is reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the flesh,

:

he is a leprous man. He is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him unclean. His plague is on his head.

:

“The leper in whom the plague is shall wear torn clothes, and the hair of his head shall hang loose. He shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’

:

All the days in which the plague is in him he shall be unclean. He is unclean. He shall dwell alone. Outside of the camp shall be his dwelling.

:

“The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it is a woolen garment, or a linen garment;
