1 And the Lord spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,

1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, dicens:

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

2 Dicite filiis Israël: Hæc sunt animalia quæ comedere debetis de cunctis animantibus terræ:

3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.

3 omne quod habet divisam ungulam, et ruminat in pecoribus, comedetis.

4 Nevertheless 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.

4 Quidquid autem ruminat quidem, et habet ungulam, sed non dividit eam, sicut camelus et cetera, non comedetis illud, et inter immunda reputabitis.

5 And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

5 Chœrogryllus qui ruminat, ungulamque non dividit, immundus est.

6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

6 Lepus quoque: nam et ipse ruminat, sed ungulam non dividit.

7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.

7 Et sus: qui cum ungulam dividat, non ruminat.

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

8 Horum carnibus non vescemini, nec cadavera contingetis, quia immunda sunt vobis.

9 ¶ These 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.

9 ¶ Hæc sunt quæ gignuntur in aquis, et vesci licitum est: omne quod habet pinnulas et squamas, tam in mari quam in fluminibus et stagnis, comedetis.

10 And 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:

10 Quidquid autem pinnulas et squamas non habet, eorum quæ in aquis moventur et vivunt, abominabile vobis,

11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.

11 execrandumque erit: carnes eorum non comedetis, et morticina vitabitis.

12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

12 Cuncta quæ non habent pinnulas et squamas in aquis, polluta erunt.

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,

13 ¶ Hæc sunt quæ de avibus comedere non debetis, et vitanda sunt vobis: aquilam, et gryphem, et haliæetum,

14 And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;

14 et milvum ac vulturem juxta genus suum,

15 Every raven after his kind;

15 et omne corvini generis in similitudinem suam,

16 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,

16 struthionem, et noctuam, et larum, et accipitrem juxta genus suum:

17 And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,

17 bubonem, et mergulum, et ibin,

18 And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,

18 et cygnum, et onocrotalum, et porphyrionem,

19 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

19 herodionem, et charadrion juxta genus suum, upupam quoque, et vespertilionem.

20 All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.

20 ¶ Omne de volucribus quod graditur super quatuor pedes, abominabile erit vobis.

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;

21 Quidquid autem ambulat quidem super quatuor pedes, sed habet longiora retro crura, per quæ salit super terram,

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.

22 comedere debetis, ut est bruchus in genere suo, et attacus atque ophiomachus, ac locusta, singula juxta genus suum.

23 But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.

23 Quidquid autem ex volucribus quatuor tantum habet pedes, execrabile erit vobis:

24 And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.

24 et quicumque morticina eorum tetigerit, polluetur, et erit immundus usque ad vesperum:

25 And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

25 et si necesse fuerit ut portet quippiam horum mortuum, lavabit vestimenta sua, et immundus erit usque ad occasum solis.

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.

26 Omne animal quod habet quidem ungulam, sed non dividit eam, nec ruminat, immundum erit: et qui tetigerit illud, contaminabitur.

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.

27 Quod ambulat super manus ex cunctis animantibus, quæ incedunt quadrupedia, immundum erit: qui tetigerit morticina eorum, polluetur usque ad vesperum.

28 And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.

28 Et qui portaverit hujuscemodi cadavera, lavabit vestimenta sua, et immundus erit usque ad vesperum: quia omnia hæc immunda sunt vobis.

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,

29 Hæc quoque inter polluta reputabuntur de his quæ moventur in terra, mustela et mus et crocodilus, singula juxta genus suum,

30 And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.

30 mygale, et chamæleon, et stellio, et lacerta, et talpa.

31 These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.

31 ¶ Omnia hæc immunda sunt. Qui tetigerit morticina eorum, immundus erit usque ad vesperum:

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.

32 et super quod ceciderit quidquam de morticinis eorum, polluetur, tam vas ligneum et vestimentum, quam pelles et cilicia: et in quocumque fit opus, tingentur aqua, et polluta erunt usque ad vesperum, et sic postea mundabuntur.

33 And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.

33 Vas autem fictile, in quod horum quidquam intro ceciderit, polluetur, et idcirco frangendum est.

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.

34 Omnis cibus, quem comedetis, si fusa fuerit super eum aqua, immundus erit: et omne liquens quod bibitur de universo vase, immundum erit.

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.

35 Et quidquid de morticinis hujuscemodi ceciderit super illud, immundum erit: sive clibani, sive chytropodes, destruentur, et immundi erunt.

36 Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.

36 Fontes vero et cisternæ, et omnis aquarum congregatio munda erit. Qui morticinum eorum tetigerit, polluetur.

37 And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean.

37 Si ceciderit super sementem, non polluet eam.

38 But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.

38 Si autem quispiam aqua sementem perfuderit, et postea morticinis tacta fuerit, illico polluetur.

39 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.

39 Si mortuum fuerit animal, quod licet vobis comedere, qui cadaver ejus tetigerit, immundus erit usque ad vesperum:

40 And 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.

40 et qui comederit ex eo quippiam, sive portaverit, lavabit vestimenta sua, et immundus erit usque ad vesperum.

41 And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

41 Omne quod reptat super terram, abominabile erit, nec assumetur in cibum.

42 Whatsoever 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.

42 Quidquid super pectus quadrupes graditur, et multos habet pedes, sive per humum trahitur, non comedetis, quia abominabile est.

43 Ye 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.

43 Nolite contaminare animas vestras, nec tangatis quidquam eorum, ne immundi sitis.

44 For 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.

44 Ego enim sum Dominus Deus vester: sancti estote, quia ego sanctus sum. Ne polluatis animas vestras in omni reptili quod movetur super terram.

45 For 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.

45 Ego enim sum Dominus, qui eduxi vos de terra Ægypti, ut essem vobis in Deum. Sancti eritis, quia ego sanctus sum.

46 This 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:

46 Ista est lex animantium ac volucrum, et omnis animæ viventis, quæ movetur in aqua, et reptat in terra,

47 To 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.

47 ut differentias noveritis mundi et immundi, et sciatis quid comedere et quid respuere debeatis.
