11:13 And 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,
11:14 And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
11:15 Every raven after his kind;
11:16 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk
after his kind,
11:17 And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
11:18 And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
11:19 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the
bat.
11:20 All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination
unto you.
11:21 Yet 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;
11:22 Even 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.
11:23 But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall
be an abomination unto you.
11:24 And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase
of them shall be unclean until the even.
11:25 And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his
clothes, and be unclean until the even.
11:26 The 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.
11:27 And 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.
11:28 And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes,
and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.
11:29 These 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,
11:30 And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail,
and the mole.
11:31 These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth
touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
11:32 And 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.
11:33 And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth,
whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
11:34 Of 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.
11:35 And 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.
