offered their sinoffering and their burntoffering before the LORD, and
it is chanced me after this manner. If I should eat of the sinoffering
today, would the LORD be content with all? And when Moses heard that,
he was content.
Chapter .xi.
And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron saying: speak unto the children
of Israel and say: these are the beasts which ye shall eat among all
the beasts that are on the earth: whatsoever hath hoof and divideth it
into two claws and cheweth cud among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
Nevertheless, these shall ye not eat of them that chew cud and have
hoofs. The camel, for he cheweth cud but he divideth not the hoof into
two claws, therefore he shall be unclean unto you. And the cony, for he
cheweth the cud but divideth not the hoof into two claws, therefore he
is unclean to you. And the hare, for he likewise cheweth the cud, but
divideth not the hoof into two claws, he is therefore unclean to you.
And the swine, for though he divide the hoof into two claws, yet he
cheweth not the cud and therefore is unclean to you. Of their flesh see
that ye eat not, and their carcasses see that ye twich not for they are
unclean to you. These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters:
whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, seas and rivers, that
shall ye eat. And all that have not fins and scales in the seas and
rivers of all that move and live in the waters, shall ye abhor. See
that ye eat not of their flesh, and also that ye abhor their carcasses:

sparrowhawk, and all the kind: the little owl, the stork, the great
owl, the back, the pelican, the pye, the heron, the jay with the kind,
the lapwing and the swallow. And all fowls that creep and go upon all
fours shall be an abomination unto you. Yet these may ye eat of all the
fowls that move and go upon four feet: even those that have no knees
above upon their feet to leap withal upon the earth, even these of them
ye may eat: the arb and all his kind: the Soleam with all his kind: the
Hargol and all the kind, and the Hagab and all his kind. All other
fowls that move and have four feet, shall be abomination unto you. In
such ye shall be unclean whosoever touch the carcass of the shall be
unclean unto the even, and whosoever beareth the carcass of them, shall
wash his clothes and shall be unclean until even. Among all manner
beasts, they that have hoofs and divide them not into two claws or that
chew not the cud, shall be unclean unto you: and all that twicheth them
shall be unclean. And all that goeth upon his hands among all manner
beasts that go on all fours, are unclean unto you: and as many as twich
