Levítico 11
Brenton's English Septuagint
1And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
2Speak ye to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat of all beasts that are upon the earth.
3Every beast parting the hoof and making divisions of two claws, and chewing the cud among beasts, these ye shall eat.
4But of these ye shall not eat, of those that chew the cud, and of those that part the hoofs, and divide claws; the camel, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.
5And the rabbit, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.
6And the hare, because it does Heb. and Alex.—not not chew the cud, and does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.
7And the swine, because this animal divides the hoof, and makes claws of the hoof, and it does not chew the cud, is unclean to you.
8Ye shall not eat of their flesh, and ye shall not touch their i. e. especially of such as died of themselves carcases; these are unclean to you.
9And these are what ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all things that have fins and scales in the waters, and in the seas, and in the brooks, these ye shall eat.
10And all things which have not fins or scales in the water, or in the seas, and in the brooks, of all which the waters Gr. eructant; see Ps 45:1, in the LXX; also in Heb. produce, and of every soul living in the water, are an abomination; and they shall be abominations to you.
11Ye shall not eat of their flesh, and ye shall abhor their carcases.
12And all things that have not fins or scales of those that are in the waters, these are an abomination to you.
13And these are the things which ye shall abhor of birds, and they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle.
14And the vulture, and the kite, and the like to it;
15and the sparrow, and the owl, and the sea-mew, and the like to it:
16and every raven, and the birds like it, and the hawk and his like,
17and the night-raven and the cormorant and the stork,
18and the red-bill, and the pelican, and swan,
19and the heron, and the Or, sealark lapwing, and the like to it, and the hoopoe and the bat.
20And all winged creatures that creep, which go upon four feet, are abominations to you.
21But these ye shall eat of the creeping winged animals, which go upon four feet, which have legs above their feet, to leap with on the earth.
22And these of them ye shall eat: the caterpillar and his like, and the attacus and his like, and the Or, a kind of lizard cantharus and his like, and the locust and his like.
23Every creeping thing from among the birds, Gr. have which has four feet, is an abomination to you.
24And by these ye shall be defiled; every one that touches their carcases shall be unclean till the evening.
25And every one that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean till the evening.
26And whichever among the beasts divides the hoof and makes claws, and does not chew the cud, shall be unclean to you; every one that touches their dead bodies shall be unclean till evening.
27And every one among all the wild beasts that moves upon its fore feet, which goes on all four, Gr. they are unclean is unclean to you; every one that touches their dead bodies shall be unclean till evening.
28And he that takes of their dead bodies shall wash his garments, and shall be unclean till evening: these are unclean to you.
29And these are unclean to you of reptiles upon the earth, the Or, cat weasel, and the mouse, and the Or, land crocodile lizard,
30the ferret, and the chameleon, and the evet, and the newt, and the mole.
31These are unclean to you of all the reptiles which are on the earth; every one who touches their carcases shall be unclean till evening.
32And on whatsoever one of their dead bodies shall fall it shall be unclean; Gr. from every, etc. whatever wooden vessel, or garment, or skin, or Or, cloth, i. e. sackcloth sack it may be, every vessel in which work should be done, shall be dipped in water, and shall be unclean till evening; and then it shall be clean.
33And every earthen vessel into which one of these things shall fall, whatsoever is inside it, shall be unclean, and it shall be broken.
34And all food that is eaten, on which water shall come from such a vessel, shall be unclean; and every beverage which is drunk in any such vessel, shall be unclean.
35And every thing on which there shall fall of their dead bodies shall be unclean; ovens and stands for jars shall be broken down: these are unclean, and they shall be unclean to you.
36Only if the water be of fountains of water, or a pool, or confluence of water, it shall be clean; but he that touches their carcases shall be unclean.
37And if one of their carcases should fall upon any sowing seed which shall be sown, it shall be clean.
38But if water be poured on any seed, and one of their dead bodies fall upon it, it is unclean to you.
39And if one of the cattle die, which it is lawful for you to eat, he that touches their carcases shall be unclean till evening.
40And he that eats of their carcases shall wash his garments, and be unclean till evening; and he that carries any of their carcases shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean till evening.
41And every reptile that creeps on the earth, this shall be an abomination to you; it shall not be eaten.
42And every animal that creeps on its belly, and every one that goes on four feet continually, which abounds with feet among all the reptiles creeping upon the earth—ye shall not eat it, for it is an abomination to you.
43And ye shall not Or, make them abominable defile your souls with any of the reptiles that creep upon the earth, and ye shall not be polluted with them, and ye shall not be unclean by them.
44For I am the Lord your God; and ye shall be sanctified, and ye shall be holy, because I the Lord your God am holy; and ye shall not defile your souls with any of the reptiles creeping upon the earth.
45For I am the Lord who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God; and ye shall be holy, for I the Lord am holy.
46This is the law concerning beasts and birds and every living creature moving in the water, and every living creature creeping on the earth;
47to distinguish between the unclean and the clean; and between those that bring forth alive, such as should be eaten, and those that bring forth alive, such as should not be eaten.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y HABLÓ Jehová á Moisés y á Aarón, diciéndoles:
2Hablad á los hijos de Israel, diciendo: Estos son los animales que comeréis de todos los animales que están sobre la tierra.
3De entre los animales, todo el de pezuña, y que tiene las pezuñas hendidas, y que rumia, éste comeréis.
4Estos empero no comeréis de los que rumian, y de los que tienen pezuña: el camello, porque rumia mas no tiene pezuña hendida, habéis de tenerlo por inmundo;
5También el conejo, porque rumia, mas no tiene pezuña, tendréislo por inmundo;
6Asimismo la liebre, porque rumia, mas no tiene pezuña, tendréisla por inmunda;
7También el puerco, porque tiene pezuñas, y es de pezuñas hendidas, mas no rumia, tendréislo por inmundo.
8De la carne de ellos no comeréis, ni tocaréis su cuerpo muerto: tendréislos por inmundos.
9Esto comeréis de todas las cosas que están en las aguas: todas las cosas que tienen aletas y escamas en las aguas de la mar, y en los ríos, aquellas comeréis;
10Mas todas las cosas que no tienen aletas ni escamas en la mar y en los ríos, así de todo reptil de agua como de toda cosa viviente que está en las aguas, las tendréis en abominación.
11Os serán, pues, en abominación: de su carne no comeréis, y abominaréis sus cuerpos muertos.
12Todo lo que no tuviere aletas y escamas en las aguas, tendréislo en abominación.
13Y de las aves, éstas tendréis en abominación; no se comerán, serán abominación: el águila, el quebrantahuesos, el esmerejón,
14El milano, y el buitre según su especie;
15Todo cuervo según su especie;
16El avestruz, y la lechuza, y el laro, y el gavilán según su especie,
17Y el buho, y el somormujo, y el ibis,
18Y el calamón, y el cisne, y el onocrótalo,
19Y el herodión, y el caradrión, según su especie, y la abubilla, y el murciélago.
20Todo reptil alado que anduviere sobre cuatro pies, tendréis en abominación.
21Empero esto comeréis de todo reptil alado que anda sobre cuatro pies, que tuviere piernas además de sus pies para saltar con ellas sobre la tierra;
22Estos comeréis de ellos: la langosta según su especie, y el langostín según su especie, y el aregol según su especie, y el haghab según su especie.
23Todo reptil alado que tenga cuatro pies, tendréis en abominación.
24Y por estas cosas seréis inmundos: cualquiera que tocare á sus cuerpos muertos, será inmundo hasta la tarde:
25Y cualquiera que llevare de sus cuerpos muertos, lavará sus vestidos, y será inmundo hasta la tarde.
26Todo animal de pezuña, pero que no tiene pezuña hendida, ni rumia, tendréis por inmundo: cualquiera que los tocare será inmundo.
27Y de todos los animales que andan á cuatro pies, tendréis por inmundo cualquiera que ande sobre sus garras: cualquiera que tocare sus cuerpos muertos, será inmundo hasta la tarde.
28Y el que llevare sus cuerpos muertos, lavará sus vestidos, y será inmundo hasta la tarde: habéis de tenerlos por inmundos.
29Y estos tendréis por inmundos de los reptiles que van arrastrando sobre la tierra: la comadreja, y el ratón, y la rana según su especie,
30Y el erizo, y el lagarto, y el caracol, y la babosa, y el topo.
31Estos tendréis por inmundos de todos los reptiles: cualquiera que los tocare, cuando estuvieren muertos, será inmundo hasta la tarde.
32Y todo aquello sobre que cayere alguno de ellos después de muertos, será inmundo; así vaso de madera, como vestido, ó piel, ó saco, cualquier instrumento con que se hace obra, será metido en agua, y será inmundo hasta la tarde, y así será limpio.
33Y toda vasija de barro dentro de la cual cayere alguno de ellos, todo lo que estuviere en ella será inmundo, y quebraréis la vasija:
34Toda vianda que se come, sobre la cual viniere el agua de tales vasijas, será inmunda: y toda bebida que se bebiere, será en todas esas vasijas inmunda:
35Y todo aquello sobre que cayere algo del cuerpo muerto de ellos, será inmundo: el horno ú hornillos se derribarán; son inmundos, y por inmundos los tendréis.
36Con todo, la fuente y la cisterna donde se recogen aguas, serán limpias: mas lo que hubiere tocado en sus cuerpos muertos será inmundo.
37Y si cayere de sus cuerpos muertos sobre alguna simiente que se haya de sembrar, será limpia.
38Mas si se hubiere puesto agua en la simiente, y cayere de sus cuerpos muertos sobre ella, tendréisla por inmunda.
39Y si algún animal que tuviereis para comer se muriere, el que tocare su cuerpo muerto será inmundo hasta la tarde:
40Y el que comiere de su cuerpo muerto, lavará sus vestidos, y será inmundo hasta la tarde: asimismo el que sacare su cuerpo muerto, lavará sus vestidos, y será inmundo hasta la tarde.
41Y todo reptil que va arrastrando sobre la tierra, es abominación; no se comerá.
42Todo lo que anda sobre el pecho, y todo lo que anda sobre cuatro ó más pies, de todo reptil que anda arrastrando sobre la tierra, no lo comeréis, porque es abominación.
43No ensuciéis vuestras personas con ningún reptil que anda arrastrando, ni os contaminéis con ellos, ni seáis inmundos por ellos.
44Pues que yo soy Jehová vuestro Dios, vosotros por tanto os santificaréis, y seréis santos, porque yo soy santo: así que no ensuciéis vuestras personas con ningún reptil que anduviere arrastrando sobre la tierra.
45Porque yo soy Jehová, que os hago subir de la tierra de Egipto para seros por Dios: seréis pues santos, porque yo soy santo.
46Esta es la ley de los animales y de las aves, y de todo ser viviente que se mueve en las aguas, y de todo animal que anda arrastrando sobre la tierra;
47Para hacer diferencia entre inmundo y limpio, y entre los animales que se pueden comer y los animales que no se pueden comer.
King James Version
1And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
2Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
3Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
4Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
5And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
6And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
7And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
8Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
9These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
10And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
11They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
12Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
13And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
14And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
15Every raven after his kind;
16And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
17And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
18And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
19And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
20All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.
21Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;
22Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.
23But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.
24And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.
25And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
26The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.
27And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.
28And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.
29These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind,
30And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.
31These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
32And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed.
33And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
34Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.
35And every thing whereupon any part of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.
36Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which 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 any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
39And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
40And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
41And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
42Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
43Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.
44For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
45For I am the LORD that bringeth 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 the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:
47To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.

1The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
2“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘These are the living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth.
3Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud among the animals, that you may eat.
4“‘Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.
5The hyrax, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.
6The hare, because it chews the cud but doesn’t have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.
7The pig, because it has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you.
8You shall not eat their meat. You shall not touch their carcasses. They are unclean to you.
9“‘You may eat of all these that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that you may eat.
10All that don’t have fins and scales in the seas and rivers, all that move in the waters, and all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you,
11and you shall detest them. You shall not eat of their meat, and you shall detest their carcasses.
12Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters is an abomination to you.
13“‘You shall detest these among the birds; they shall not be eaten because they are an abomination: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture,
14the red kite, any kind of black kite,
15any kind of raven,
16the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,
17the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,
18the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,
19the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.
20“‘All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you.
21Yet you may eat these: of all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have long, jointed legs for hopping on the earth.
22Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper.
23But all winged creeping things which have four feet are an abomination to you.
24“‘By these you will become unclean: whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
25Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
26“‘Every animal which has a split hoof that isn’t completely divided, or doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean.
27Whatever 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.
28He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. They are unclean to you.
29“‘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,
30the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the chameleon.
31These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening.
32Anything they fall on when they are dead 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.
33Every earthen vessel into which any of them falls and all that is in it shall be unclean. You shall break it.
34All food which may be eaten which is soaked in water shall be unclean. All drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.
35Everything 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.
36Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is gathered shall be clean, but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.
37If part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean.
38But if water is put on the seed, and part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.
39“‘If any animal of which you may eat dies, he who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
40He 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.
41“‘Every creeping thing that creeps on the earth is an abomination. It shall not be eaten.
42Whatever 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.
43You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps. You shall not make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled by them.
44For I am the LORD your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy. You shall not defile yourselves with any kind of creeping thing that moves on the earth.
45For I am the LORD who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
46“‘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,
47to 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.’”
