1 The LORD spoke again to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,1 The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron,1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
2 "Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'These are the creatures which you may eat from all the animals that are on the earth.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 "Tell the Israelites: Here are the kinds of land animals you may eat:2 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'These are the living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth.2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the animals which ye shall eat of all the beasts which are on the earth.
3 Whatever divides a hoof, thus making split hoofs, and chews the cud, among the animals, that you may eat.3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.3 all animals that have completely divided hoofs and that also chew their cud.3 Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud among the animals, that you may eat.3 Whatever hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts that shall ye eat.
4 'Nevertheless, you are not to eat of these, among those which chew the cud, or among those which divide the hoof: the camel, for though it chews cud, it does not divide the hoof, it is unclean to you.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 However, from those that either chew their cud or have divided hoofs, these are the kinds you must never eat: You must never eat camels. (Camels are unclean because they chew their cud but do not have divided hoofs.)4 "'Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because he chews the cud but doesn't have a parted hoof, he is unclean to you.4 Only these shall ye not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those with cloven hoofs: the camel, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs it shall be unclean unto you;
5 'Likewise, the shaphan, for though it chews cud, it does not divide the hoof, it is unclean to you;5 And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.5 You must never eat rock badgers. (Rock badgers are unclean because they chew their cud but do not have divided hoofs.)5 The coney, because he chews the cud but doesn't have a parted hoof, he is unclean to you.5 and the rock-badger, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs it shall be unclean unto you;
NASBKJVGWTWEBDBY
6 the rabbit also, for though it chews cud, it does not divide the hoof, it is unclean to you;6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.6 You must never eat rabbits. (Rabbits are unclean because they chew their cud but do not have divided hoofs.)6 The hare, because she chews the cud but doesn't part the hoof, she is unclean to you.6 and the hare, for it cheweth the cud, but hath not cloven hoofs it shall be unclean unto you;
7 and the pig, for though it divides the hoof, thus making a split hoof, it does not chew cud, it is unclean to you.7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven-footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.7 You must never eat pigs. (Because pigs have completely divided hoofs but do not chew their cud, they are also unclean.)7 The pig, because he has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn't chew the cud, he is unclean to you.7 and the swine, for it hath cloven hoofs, and feet quite split open, but it cheweth not the cud it shall be unclean unto you.
8 'You shall not eat of their flesh nor touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.8 Never eat the meat of these animals or touch their dead bodies. They are unclean for you.8 Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch; they are unclean to you.8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch: they shall be unclean unto you.
9 'These you may eat, whatever is in the water: all that have fins and scales, those in the water, in the seas or in the rivers, you may eat.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 "Here are the kinds of creatures that live in the water which you may eat-anything in the seas and streams that has fins and scales.9 "'These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that you may eat.9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatever hath fins and scales in waters, in seas and in rivers, these shall ye eat;
10 'But whatever is in the seas and in the rivers that does not have fins and scales among all the teeming life of the water, and among all the living creatures that are in the water, they are detestable things to you,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 However, you must consider all swarming creatures living in the seas or the streams that have no fins or scales disgusting.10 All that don't have fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you,10 but all that have not fins and scales in seas and in rivers, of all that swarm in the waters, and of every living soul which is in the waters they shall be an abomination unto you.
NASBKJVGWTWEBDBY
11 and they shall be abhorrent to you; you may not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses you shall detest.11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcasses in abomination.11 They must remain disgusting to you. Never eat their meat. Consider their dead bodies disgusting.11 and you detest them. You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall detest their carcasses.11 They shall be even an abomination unto you: of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase ye shall have in abomination.
12 'Whatever in the water does not have fins and scales is abhorrent to you.12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.12 Every creature in the water without fins or scales is disgusting to you.12 Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination to you.12 Whatever in the waters hath no fins and scales, that shall be an abomination unto you.
Avoid the Unclean

They are eagles, bearded vultures, black vultures,13 "'These you shall detest among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the black vulture,13 And these shall ye have in abomination of the fowls; they shall not be eaten; an abomination shall they be: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle,

20 All the winged insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you.20 All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.20 "Every swarming, winged insect that walks across the ground like a four-legged animal is disgusting to you.20 "'All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you.20 Every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four shall be an abomination unto you.
NASBKJVGWTWEBDBY
21 Yet these you may eat among all the winged insects which walk on all fours: those which have above their feet jointed legs with which to jump on the earth.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 However, you may eat winged insects that swarm if they use their legs to hop on the ground.21 Yet you may eat these: of all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to hop on the earth.21 Yet these shall ye eat of every winged crawling thing that goeth upon all four: those which have legs above their feet with which to leap upon the earth.
