Leviticus 11:9-11

New English Translation

Clean and Unclean Water Creatures

⁹ “‘These you can eat from all creatures that are in the water: Any creatures in the water that have both fins and scales,^[a] whether in the seas or in the streams,^[b] you may eat. ¹⁰ But any creatures that do not have both fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the streams, from all the swarming things of the water and from all the living creatures that are in the water, are detestable to you. ¹¹ Since they are detestable to you, you must not eat their meat and their carcass you must detest.
