Thou shalt not eat any to’evah (detestable thing).

These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the shor, the seh, and the izzim,

The deer, and the gazelle, and the yachmur, and the akko, and the antelope, and the wild ox, and the wild goat.

And every beast that parteth the hoof, and is separated in two hooves, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat.

Nevertheless, these ye shall not eat of them that only chew the cud, or of them that only divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney; for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are tameh (unclean) unto you.

And the chazir, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is tameh (unclean) unto you; ye shall not eat of their basar, nor touch their nevelah (dead carcass).

These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat,

10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is tameh (unclean) unto you.

11 Of all tahorah (clean) birds ye shall eat.

12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the nesher, and the vulture, and the bearded vulture,

13 And the kite, and the buzzard after its kind,

14 And every raven after its kind,

15 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind,

16 The little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl,

17 And the pelican, and the osprey, and the cormorant,

18 And the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

19 And every creeping thing that flieth is tameh (unclean) unto you; they shall not be eaten.

20 But of all tahor (clean) fowls ye may eat.
