ANd Iehovah spake unto Moses and [unspec 1] [unspec 2] unto Aaron, saying unto them. Speak ye unto the sonnes of Israel, saying: These are the beasts, which ye shall eat; of all the beasts, which are on the earth. All that [unspec 3] parteth the hoofe, and cleaveth▪asunder the cleft of the hoofes; and cheweth the cud, a∣mong the beasts: that, shall ye eat. But this, ye shall not eat; of them that chew the cud, [unspec 4] or of them that part the hoofe: the Camel; because he cheweth the cud, and he parteth not the hoofe: he shall be uncleane unto you. And the Conie; because hee cheweth the [unspec 5] cud, and parteth not the hoofe: hee shall be uncleane unto you. And the Hare; because [unspec 6] he cheweth the cud, and parteth not the hoofe: he, shall be uncleane unto you. And the swine; because he parteth the hoofe, and [unspec 7] cleaveth-asunder the clef•• of the hoof; & he, cheweth not the cud: he, shall be unclean un∣to you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat; and [unspec 8] their carkasse, shall ye not touch: they, shall be uncleane unto y••u.
These ye shall eat, of all that are in the wa∣ters: all that hath ••in and scale in the waters, [unspec 9] in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall yee eat. And all that hath not ••in and scale, in the [unspec 10] seas, and in the rivers; of every moving▪thing of the waters, & of every living soule, that is in the waters: they, shall be an abhomination unto you. Even an abhomination, shall they [unspec 11] be unto you: of their flesh, ye shal not eat; and their carkasses, ye shall have-in-abhominati∣on. All that hath not fin and scale, in the wa∣ters: [unspec] that, shall be an abhomination unto you.
And these, ye shall have-in-abhomination [unspec] among the fowles; they shall not be eaten, they shall be an abhomination: the Eagle, and the Ossifrage, and the Osprey. And the [unspec 14] Vulture, and the Kite, after her kinde. Every Raven, after his kinde. And the Owle, and the Night-hawk, and the Sea-gull: and the Hawk, after his kinde. And the Great-owle, [unspec] and the Cormorant, and the Little-owle. And the Redshanke, and the Pelecan, and [unspec 15] the Gier-eagle. And the Storke; the Heron, after her kinde: and the Lapwing, and the Bat. Every creeping-thing that flieth, that [unspec] goeth upon all foure: that, shall be an abho∣mination unto you. Yet these ye shall eat, of [unspec] every creeping-thing that flieth, that goeth upon all foure: which * 1.1hath not legges, a∣bove his feet; to leap with them, upon the earth. These of them, yee shall eat; the com∣mon-Locust, after his kinde; and the locust-Soleam, after his kinde; and the locust-Char∣gol, after his kinde; and the locust-Chagab, after his kinde. And every creeping-thing [unspec] that flieth, which hath foure feet; that, shall be an abhomination unto you.
And for these, yee shall be uncleane: who-soever [unspec] toucheth the carkasse of them, shall be uncleane untill the evening. And whoso∣ever [unspec] beareth, ought of the carkasse of them; shall wash his clothes, and be unclean untill the evening. Of every beast, which do•••• [unspec] part the hoofe, and it cleaveth not the cle••∣asunder, and it cheweth not the cud; they, shall be uncleane unto you: whosoever tou∣cheth them, shall be uncleane. And whatso∣ever [unspec] goeth upon his pawes, of any beast, that goeth upon foure feet; they, shall be uncleane unto you: whosoever toucheth the carkasse of them, shall be uncleane untill the evening. And hee that beareth the carkasse of them; [unspec] shall wash his clothes, and bee unclean untill the evening: they, shall be unclean unto you.
And these shall be unclean unto you, among [unspec] the creeping-things, that creepe upon the earth: the weasel, & the mouse, and the ••or∣toys, after his kind. And the ferret, and the chamaeleon, & the lyzard; and the snail and the moll. These shall be uncleane to you [unspec] among all that creepe: whosoever tou∣cheth them, when they are dead, shall bee uncleane untill the evening. And upon who-soever ought of them when they are dead doth fall, it shall be uncleane; of any vessell of
