1And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them, 2Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. 3Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. 4Nevertheless 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. 5And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 6And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 7And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. 8Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
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. 10And 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: 11They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination. 12Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
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, 14And the vulture, and the kite after his kind; 15Every raven after his kind; 16And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, 17And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, 18And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, 19And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
20All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you. 21Yet 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; 22Even 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. 23But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you. 24And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even. 25And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. 26The 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. 27And 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. 28And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.
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, 30And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole. 31These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even. 32And 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. 33And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it. 34Of 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. 35And 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. 36Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.11.36 wherein…: Heb. a gathering together of waters 37And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean. 38But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you. 39And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even. 40And 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. 41And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten. 42Whatsoever 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.11.42 hath…: Heb. doth multiply feet
43Ye 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.11.43 yourselves abominable: Heb. your souls, etc 44For 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. 45For 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. 46This 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: 47To 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.
有關食物的條例
1耶和華對摩西和亞倫說： 2「你們把以下條例告訴以色列人。
「地上的動物， 3凡是蹄子分瓣且反芻的，你們都可以吃。 4但你們不可吃只有蹄子分瓣或只反芻的動物。駱駝不潔淨，因為牠雖反芻但蹄子不分瓣； 5獾不潔淨，因為牠雖反芻但蹄子不分瓣； 6野兔不潔淨，因為牠雖反芻但蹄子不分瓣； 7豬不潔淨，因為牠蹄子雖分瓣但不反芻。 8你們不可吃牠們的肉，也不可摸牠們的屍體，因為牠們對你們來說不潔淨。
9「海洋與河流裡的動物，凡有鰭有鱗的，你們都可以吃。 10但海洋與河流裡無鰭無鱗的動物，你們要憎惡。 11牠們都是可憎之物，不可吃牠們的肉，也不可摸牠們的屍體。 12水中任何無鰭無鱗的動物，你們都要視為可憎之物。
13「你們不可吃以下鳥類，要視為可憎之物。牠們是鵰、胡兀鷲、黑禿鷲、 14鳶、隼類、 15烏鴉類、 16駝鳥、夜鷹、海鷗、鷹類、 17小鴞、鸕鷀、大鴞、 18倉鴞、鵜鶘、魚鷹、 19鸛、鷺鳥類、戴鵀和蝙蝠。
20「你們要憎惡會飛會爬的昆蟲， 21但可以吃會飛會跳的昆蟲， 22包括蝗蟲、蟋蟀和蚱蜢。 23所有會飛會爬的昆蟲，你們要視為可憎之物。
24「以下的動物會使你們不潔淨。任何人接觸到牠們的屍體，都不潔淨，要等到傍晚才能潔淨。 25任何人拿牠們的屍體，都必須洗淨所穿的衣服，要等到傍晚才能潔淨。 26蹄子不分瓣或不反芻的動物，你們要視為不潔淨，碰到牠們的人都不潔淨。 27所有以腳掌走路的四足動物，你們要視為不潔淨，碰到牠們屍體的人都不潔淨，要等到傍晚才能潔淨。 28凡拿牠們屍體的人都必須洗淨所穿的衣服，要等到傍晚才能潔淨。你們要視牠們為不潔淨的動物。
29「地上不潔淨的動物有鼬鼠、老鼠、大蜥蜴、 30壁虎、巨蜥、小蜥蜴和變色龍。 31這些爬蟲都是不潔淨的。任何人碰到牠們的屍體，都不潔淨，要等到傍晚才能潔淨。 32如果牠們的屍體掉在什麼東西上，不管是木器、衣物、皮件還是袋子，不管作何用途，都會變得不潔淨。要把那東西放在水中，一直到傍晚才能潔淨。 33如果牠們的屍體掉在陶器裡，陶器裡盛的東西都不潔淨。你們必須打碎那陶器。 34陶器裡的水如果滴到食物上，食物就不潔淨；如果滴到盛飲料的器皿裡，飲料也不潔淨。 35牠們的屍體無論掉在什麼東西上，那東西都不潔淨，無論是爐是鍋都要打碎。 36如果牠們的屍體掉進水泉或儲水池裡，水泉和儲水池仍然是潔淨的，但碰到屍體的人是不潔淨的。 37如果牠們的屍體接觸到將要播撒的種子，種子仍是潔淨的。 38但如果牠們的屍體碰到泡過水的種子，種子就不潔淨。
39「一隻可以食用的動物死後，任何人如果碰到牠的屍體，都不潔淨，要等到傍晚才能潔淨。 40任何人如果吃牠的肉，或拿牠的屍體，都必須洗淨衣服，等到傍晚才能潔淨。
41「所有地上的爬蟲都是可憎的，你們不可吃。 42你們不可吃用肚子、四腳或多腳爬行的動物，這些都是可憎的。 43你們不可讓這些動物玷污自己，使自己不潔淨。 44我是你們的上帝耶和華。你們要分別出來做聖潔的人，因為我是聖潔的。你們不可讓地上的爬蟲玷污自己。 45我是耶和華，我帶你們離開埃及，為要做你們的上帝。你們要聖潔，因為我是聖潔的。
46「以上是有關飛禽走獸、水族和地上一切爬蟲的條例， 47使你們可以分清什麼是潔淨的、什麼是不潔淨的、什麼是可吃的、什麼是不可吃的。」
