1And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them,1וַיְדַבֵּ֧ר יְהוָ֛ה אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֥ה וְאֶֽל־ אַהֲרֹ֖ן לֵאמֹ֥ר אֲלֵהֶֽם׃
2“Speak to the people of Israel, saying, These are the living things that you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth.2דַּבְּר֛וּ אֶל־ בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לֵאמֹ֑ר זֹ֤את הַֽחַיָּה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תֹּאכְל֔וּ מִכָּל־ הַבְּהֵמָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר עַל־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃
3Whatever parts the hoof and is cloven-footed and chews the cud, among the animals, you may eat.3כֹּ֣ל ׀ מַפְרֶ֣סֶת פַּרְסָ֗ה וְשֹׁסַ֤עַת שֶׁ֙סַע֙ פְּרָסֹ֔ת מַעֲלַ֥ת גֵּרָ֖ה בַּבְּהֵמָ֑ה אֹתָ֖הּ תֹּאכֵֽלוּ׃
4Nevertheless, among those that chew the cud or part the hoof, you shall not eat these: The camel, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean to you.4אַ֤ךְ אֶת־ זֶה֙ לֹ֣א תֹֽאכְל֔וּ מִֽמַּעֲלֵי֙ הַגֵּרָ֔ה וּמִמַּפְרִיסֵ֖י הַפַּרְסָ֑ה אֶֽת־ הַ֠גָּמָל כִּֽי־ מַעֲלֵ֨ה גֵרָ֜ה ה֗וּא וּפַרְסָה֙ אֵינֶ֣נּוּ מַפְרִ֔יס טָמֵ֥א ה֖וּא לָכֶֽם׃
5And the rock badger, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean to you.5וְאֶת־ הַשָּׁפָ֗ן כִּֽי־ מַעֲלֵ֤ה גֵרָה֙ ה֔וּא וּפַרְסָ֖ה לֹ֣א יַפְרִ֑יס טָמֵ֥א ה֖וּא לָכֶֽם׃
6And the hare, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean to you.6וְאֶת־ הָאַרְנֶ֗בֶת כִּֽי־ מַעֲלַ֤ת גֵּרָה֙ הִ֔וא וּפַרְסָ֖ה לֹ֣א הִפְרִ֑יסָה טְמֵאָ֥ה הִ֖וא לָכֶֽם׃
7And the pig, because it parts the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you.7וְאֶת־ הַ֠חֲזִיר כִּֽי־ מַפְרִ֨יס פַּרְסָ֜ה ה֗וּא וְשֹׁסַ֥ע שֶׁ֙סַע֙ פַּרְסָ֔ה וְה֖וּא גֵּרָ֣ה לֹֽא־ יִגָּ֑ר טָמֵ֥א ה֖וּא לָכֶֽם׃
8You shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.8מִבְּשָׂרָם֙ לֹ֣א תֹאכֵ֔לוּ וּבְנִבְלָתָ֖ם לֹ֣א תִגָּ֑עוּ טְמֵאִ֥ים הֵ֖ם לָכֶֽם׃
9“These you may eat, of all that are in the waters. Everything in the waters that has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers, you may eat.9אֶת־ זֶה֙ תֹּֽאכְל֔וּ מִכֹּ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֣ר בַּמָּ֑יִם כֹּ֣ל אֲשֶׁר־ לוֹ֩ סְנַפִּ֨יר וְקַשְׂקֶ֜שֶׂת בַּמַּ֗יִם בַּיַּמִּ֛ים וּבַנְּחָלִ֖ים אֹתָ֥ם תֹּאכֵֽלוּ׃
10But anything in the seas or the rivers that does not have fins and scales, of the swarming creatures in the waters and of the living creatures that are in the waters, is detestable to you.10וְכֹל֩ אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֵֽין־ ל֜וֹ סְנַפִּ֣יר וְקַשְׂקֶ֗שֶׂת בַּיַּמִּים֙ וּבַנְּחָלִ֔ים מִכֹּל֙ שֶׁ֣רֶץ הַמַּ֔יִם וּמִכֹּ֛ל נֶ֥פֶשׁ הַחַיָּ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר בַּמָּ֑יִם שֶׁ֥קֶץ הֵ֖ם לָכֶֽם׃
11You shall regard them as detestable; you shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall detest their carcasses.11וְשֶׁ֖קֶץ יִהְי֣וּ לָכֶ֑ם מִבְּשָׂרָם֙ לֹ֣א תֹאכֵ֔לוּ וְאֶת־ נִבְלָתָ֖ם תְּשַׁקֵּֽצוּ׃
12Everything in the waters that does not have fins and scales is detestable to you.12כֹּ֣ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֵֽין־ ל֛וֹ סְנַפִּ֥יר וְקַשְׂקֶ֖שֶׂת בַּמָּ֑יִם שֶׁ֥קֶץ ה֖וּא לָכֶֽם׃
13“And these you shall detest among the birds; they shall not be eaten; they are detestable: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture,13וְאֶת־ אֵ֙לֶּה֙ תְּשַׁקְּצ֣וּ מִן־ הָע֔וֹף לֹ֥א יֵאָכְל֖וּ שֶׁ֣קֶץ הֵ֑ם אֶת־ הַנֶּ֙שֶׁר֙ וְאֶת־ הַפֶּ֔רֶס וְאֵ֖ת הָעָזְנִיָּֽה׃
14the kite, the falcon of any kind,14וְאֶת־ הַ֨דָּאָ֔ה וְאֶת־ הָאַיָּ֖ה לְמִינָֽהּ׃
15every raven of any kind,15אֵ֥ת כָּל־ עֹרֵ֖ב לְמִינֽוֹ׃
16the ostrich, the nighthawk, the sea gull, the hawk of any kind,16וְאֵת֙ בַּ֣ת הַֽיַּעֲנָ֔ה וְאֶת־ הַתַּחְמָ֖ס וְאֶת־ הַשָּׁ֑חַף וְאֶת־ הַנֵּ֖ץ לְמִינֵֽהוּ׃

18the barn owl, the tawny owl, the carrion vulture,18וְאֶת־ הַתִּנְשֶׁ֥מֶת וְאֶת־ הַקָּאָ֖ת וְאֶת־ הָרָחָֽם׃
19the stork, the heron of any kind, the hoopoe, and the bat.19וְאֵת֙ הַחֲסִידָ֔ה הָאֲנָפָ֖ה לְמִינָ֑הּ וְאֶת־ הַדּוּכִיפַ֖ת וְאֶת־ הָעֲטַלֵּֽף׃
20“All winged insects that go on all fours are detestable to you.20כֹּ֚ל שֶׁ֣רֶץ הָע֔וֹף הַהֹלֵ֖ךְ עַל־ אַרְבַּ֑ע שֶׁ֥קֶץ ה֖וּא לָכֶֽם׃ ס
21Yet among the winged insects that go on all fours you may eat those that have jointed legs above their feet, with which to hop on the ground.21אַ֤ךְ אֶת־ זֶה֙ תֹּֽאכְל֔וּ מִכֹּל֙ שֶׁ֣רֶץ הָע֔וֹף הַהֹלֵ֖ךְ עַל־ אַרְבַּ֑ע אֲשֶׁר־ [לא] (ל֤וֹ) כְרָעַ֙יִם֙ מִמַּ֣עַל לְרַגְלָ֔יו לְנַתֵּ֥ר בָּהֵ֖ן עַל־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃
22Of them you may eat: the locust of any kind, the bald locust of any kind, the cricket of any kind, and the grasshopper of any kind.22אֶת־ אֵ֤לֶּה מֵהֶם֙ תֹּאכֵ֔לוּ אֶת־ הָֽאַרְבֶּ֣ה לְמִינ֔וֹ וְאֶת־ הַסָּלְעָ֖ם לְמִינֵ֑הוּ וְאֶת־ הַחַרְגֹּ֣ל לְמִינֵ֔הוּ וְאֶת־ הֶחָגָ֖ב לְמִינֵֽהוּ׃
23But all other winged insects that have four feet are detestable to you.23וְכֹל֙ שֶׁ֣רֶץ הָע֔וֹף אֲשֶׁר־ ל֖וֹ אַרְבַּ֣ע רַגְלָ֑יִם שֶׁ֥קֶץ ה֖וּא לָכֶֽם׃
24“And by these you shall become unclean. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening,24וּלְאֵ֖לֶּה תִּטַּמָּ֑אוּ כָּל־ הַנֹּגֵ֥עַ בְּנִבְלָתָ֖ם יִטְמָ֥א עַד־ הָעָֽרֶב׃
25and whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.25וְכָל־ הַנֹּשֵׂ֖א מִנִּבְלָתָ֑ם יְכַבֵּ֥ס בְּגָדָ֖יו וְטָמֵ֥א עַד־ הָעָֽרֶב׃
26Every animal that parts the hoof but is not cloven-footed or does not chew the cud is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean.26לְֽכָל־ הַבְּהֵמָ֡ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר הִוא֩ מַפְרֶ֨סֶת פַּרְסָ֜ה וְשֶׁ֣סַע ׀ אֵינֶ֣נָּה שֹׁסַ֗עַת וְגֵרָה֙ אֵינֶ֣נָּה מַעֲלָ֔ה טְמֵאִ֥ים הֵ֖ם לָכֶ֑ם כָּל־ הַנֹּגֵ֥עַ בָּהֶ֖ם יִטְמָֽא׃
27And all that walk on their paws, among the animals that go on all fours, are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening,27וְכֹ֣ל ׀ הוֹלֵ֣ךְ עַל־ כַּפָּ֗יו בְּכָל־ הַֽחַיָּה֙ הַהֹלֶ֣כֶת עַל־ אַרְבַּ֔ע טְמֵאִ֥ים הֵ֖ם לָכֶ֑ם כָּל־ הַנֹּגֵ֥עַ בְּנִבְלָתָ֖ם יִטְמָ֥א עַד־ הָעָֽרֶב׃
28and he who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean to you.28וְהַנֹּשֵׂא֙ אֶת־ נִבְלָתָ֔ם יְכַבֵּ֥ס בְּגָדָ֖יו וְטָמֵ֣א עַד־ הָעָ֑רֶב טְמֵאִ֥ים הֵ֖מָּה לָכֶֽם׃ ס
29“And these are unclean to you among the swarming things that swarm on the ground: the mole rat, the mouse, the great lizard of any kind,29וְזֶ֤ה לָכֶם֙ הַטָּמֵ֔א בַּשֶּׁ֖רֶץ הַשֹּׁרֵ֣ץ עַל־ הָאָ֑רֶץ הַחֹ֥לֶד וְהָעַכְבָּ֖ר וְהַצָּ֥ב לְמִינֵֽהוּ׃
30the gecko, the monitor lizard, the lizard, the sand lizard, and the chameleon.30וְהָאֲנָקָ֥ה וְהַכֹּ֖חַ וְהַלְּטָאָ֑ה וְהַחֹ֖מֶט וְהַתִּנְשָֽׁמֶת׃
31These are unclean to you among all that swarm. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening.31אֵ֛לֶּה הַטְּמֵאִ֥ים לָכֶ֖ם בְּכָל־ הַשָּׁ֑רֶץ כָּל־ הַנֹּגֵ֧עַ בָּהֶ֛ם בְּמֹתָ֖ם יִטְמָ֥א עַד־ הָעָֽרֶב׃
32And anything on which any of them falls when they are dead shall be unclean, whether it is an article of wood or a garment or a skin or a sack, any article that is used for any purpose. It must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; then it shall be clean.32וְכֹ֣ל אֲשֶׁר־ יִפֹּל־ עָלָיו֩ מֵהֶ֨ם ׀ בְּמֹתָ֜ם יִטְמָ֗א מִכָּל־ כְּלִי־ עֵץ֙ א֣וֹ בֶ֤גֶד אוֹ־ עוֹר֙ א֣וֹ שָׂ֔ק כָּל־ כְּלִ֕י אֲשֶׁר־ יֵעָשֶׂ֥ה מְלָאכָ֖ה בָּהֶ֑ם בַּמַּ֧יִם יוּבָ֛א וְטָמֵ֥א עַד־ הָעֶ֖רֶב וְטָהֵֽר׃
33And if any of them falls into any earthenware vessel, all that is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break it.33וְכָל־ כְּלִי־ חֶ֔רֶשׂ אֲשֶׁר־ יִפֹּ֥ל מֵהֶ֖ם אֶל־ תּוֹכ֑וֹ כֹּ֣ל אֲשֶׁ֧ר בְּתוֹכ֛וֹ יִטְמָ֖א וְאֹת֥וֹ תִשְׁבֹּֽרוּ׃
34Any food in it that could be eaten, on which water comes, shall be unclean. And all drink that could be drunk from every such vessel shall be unclean.34מִכָּל־ הָאֹ֜כֶל אֲשֶׁ֣ר יֵאָכֵ֗ל אֲשֶׁ֨ר יָב֥וֹא עָלָ֛יו מַ֖יִם יִטְמָ֑א וְכָל־ מַשְׁקֶה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִשָּׁתֶ֔ה בְּכָל־ כְּלִ֖י יִטְמָֽא׃
35And everything on which any part of their carcass falls shall be unclean. Whether oven or stove, it shall be broken in pieces. They are unclean and shall remain unclean for you.35וְ֠כֹל אֲשֶׁר־ יִפֹּ֨ל מִנִּבְלָתָ֥ם ׀ עָלָיו֮ יִטְמָא֒ תַּנּ֧וּר וְכִירַ֛יִם יֻתָּ֖ץ טְמֵאִ֣ים הֵ֑ם וּטְמֵאִ֖ים יִהְי֥וּ לָכֶֽם׃
36Nevertheless, a spring or a cistern holding water shall be clean, but whoever touches a carcass in them shall be unclean.36אַ֣ךְ מַעְיָ֥ן וּב֛וֹר מִקְוֵה־ מַ֖יִם יִהְיֶ֣ה טָה֑וֹר וְנֹגֵ֥עַ בְּנִבְלָתָ֖ם יִטְמָֽא׃
37And if any part of their carcass falls upon any seed grain that is to be sown, it is clean,37וְכִ֤י יִפֹּל֙ מִנִּבְלָתָ֔ם עַל־ כָּל־ זֶ֥רַע זֵר֖וּעַ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִזָּרֵ֑עַ טָה֖וֹר הֽוּא׃
38but if water is put on the seed and any part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.38וְכִ֤י יֻתַּן־ מַ֙יִם֙ עַל־ זֶ֔רַע וְנָפַ֥ל מִנִּבְלָתָ֖ם עָלָ֑יו טָמֵ֥א ה֖וּא לָכֶֽם׃ ס
39“And if any animal which you may eat dies, whoever touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening,39וְכִ֤י יָמוּת֙ מִן־ הַבְּהֵמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־ הִ֥יא לָכֶ֖ם לְאָכְלָ֑ה הַנֹּגֵ֥עַ בְּנִבְלָתָ֖הּ יִטְמָ֥א עַד־ הָעָֽרֶב׃
40and whoever eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening. And whoever carries the carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.40וְהָֽאֹכֵל֙ מִנִּבְלָתָ֔הּ יְכַבֵּ֥ס בְּגָדָ֖יו וְטָמֵ֣א עַד־ הָעָ֑רֶב וְהַנֹּשֵׂא֙ אֶת־ נִבְלָתָ֔הּ יְכַבֵּ֥ס בְּגָדָ֖יו וְטָמֵ֥א עַד־ הָעָֽרֶב׃
41“Every swarming thing that swarms on the ground is detestable; it shall not be eaten.41וְכָל־ הַשֶּׁ֖רֶץ הַשֹּׁרֵ֣ץ עַל־ הָאָ֑רֶץ שֶׁ֥קֶץ ה֖וּא לֹ֥א יֵאָכֵֽל׃
42Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, any swarming thing that swarms on the ground, you shall not eat, for they are detestable.42כֹּל֩ הוֹלֵ֨ךְ עַל־ גָּח֜וֹ‪‬ן וְכֹ֣ל ׀ הוֹלֵ֣ךְ עַל־ אַרְבַּ֗ע עַ֚ד כָּל־ מַרְבֵּ֣ה רַגְלַ֔יִם לְכָל־ הַשֶּׁ֖רֶץ הַשֹּׁרֵ֣ץ עַל־ הָאָ֑רֶץ לֹ֥א תֹאכְל֖וּם כִּי־ שֶׁ֥קֶץ הֵֽם׃
43You shall not make yourselves detestable with any swarming thing that swarms, and you shall not defile yourselves with them, and become unclean through them.43אַל־ תְּשַׁקְּצוּ֙ אֶת־ נַפְשֹׁ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם בְּכָל־ הַשֶּׁ֖רֶץ הַשֹּׁרֵ֑ץ וְלֹ֤א תִֽטַּמְּאוּ֙ בָּהֶ֔ם וְנִטְמֵתֶ֖ם בָּֽם׃
44For I am the LORD your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy. You shall not defile yourselves with any swarming thing that crawls on the ground.44כִּ֣י אֲנִ֣י יְהוָה֮ אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם֒ וְהִתְקַדִּשְׁתֶּם֙ וִהְיִיתֶ֣ם קְדֹשִׁ֔ים כִּ֥י קָד֖וֹשׁ אָ֑נִי וְלֹ֤א תְטַמְּאוּ֙ אֶת־ נַפְשֹׁ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם בְּכָל־ הַשֶּׁ֖רֶץ הָרֹמֵ֥שׂ עַל־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃
45For I am the LORD who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.”45כִּ֣י ׀ אֲנִ֣י יְהוָ֗ה הַֽמַּעֲלֶ֤ה אֶתְכֶם֙ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם לִהְיֹ֥ת לָכֶ֖ם לֵאלֹהִ֑ים וִהְיִיתֶ֣ם קְדֹשִׁ֔ים כִּ֥י קָד֖וֹשׁ אָֽנִי׃
46This is the law about beast and bird and every living creature that moves through the waters and every creature that swarms on the ground,46זֹ֣את תּוֹרַ֤ת הַבְּהֵמָה֙ וְהָע֔וֹף וְכֹל֙ נֶ֣פֶשׁ הַֽחַיָּ֔ה הָרֹמֶ֖שֶׂת בַּמָּ֑יִם וּלְכָל־ נֶ֖פֶשׁ הַשֹּׁרֶ֥צֶת עַל־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃
47to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean and between the living creature that may be eaten and the living creature that may not be eaten.47לְהַבְדִּ֕יל בֵּ֥ין הַטָּמֵ֖א וּבֵ֣ין הַטָּהֹ֑ר וּבֵ֤ין הַֽחַיָּה֙ הַֽנֶּאֱכֶ֔לֶת וּבֵין֙ הַֽחַיָּ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֖ר לֹ֥א תֵאָכֵֽל׃ פ
