11, 12
Lev
11:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
Lev
11:2 "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.
Lev
11:3 Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the
cud among the animals, that you may eat.
Lev
11:4 " '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.
Lev
11:5 The coney, because he chews the cud but doesn't have a parted
hoof, he is unclean to you.
Lev
11:6 The hare, because she chews the cud but doesn't part the hoof,
she is unclean to you.
Lev
11:7 The pig, because he has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but
doesn't chew the cud, he is unclean to you.
Lev
11:8 Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall
not touch; they are unclean to you.
Lev
11:9 " '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.
Lev
11:10 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,
Lev
11:11 and you detest them. You shall not eat of their flesh, and you
shall detest their carcasses.
Lev
11:12 Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an
abomination to you.
Lev
11:13 " '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,
Lev
11:14 and the red kite, any kind of black kite,
Lev
11:15 any kind of raven,
Lev
11:16 the horned owl, the screech owl, and the gull, any kind of
hawk,
Lev
11:17 the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,
Lev
11:18 the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,
Lev
11:19 the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.
Lev
11:20 " 'All flying insects that walk on all fours are an
abomination to you.
Lev
11:21 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.
Lev
11:22 Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of
katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper.
Lev
11:23 But all winged creeping things which have four feet, are an
abomination to you.
Lev
11:24 " 'By these you will become unclean: whoever touches the
carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening.
Lev
11:25 Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his
clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
Lev
11:26 " 'Every animal which parts the hoof, and is not
cloven-footed, nor chews the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who
touches them shall be unclean.
Lev
11:27 Whatever goes on its paws, among all animals that go on all
fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall
be unclean until the evening.
Lev
11:28 He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be
unclean until the evening. They are unclean to you.
Lev
11:29 " 'These are they which are unclean to you among the
creeping things that creep on the earth: the weasel, the rat, any
kind of great lizard,
Lev
11:30 the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink,
and the chameleon.
Lev
11:31 These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep.
Whoever touches them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the
evening.
Lev
11:32 On whatever any of them falls when they are dead, it shall be
unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or
sack, whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be
put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; then it
will be clean.
Lev
11:33 Every earthen vessel, into which any of them falls, all that
is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break it.
Lev
11:34 All food which may be eaten, that on which water comes, shall
be unclean; and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel
shall be unclean.
Lev
11:35 Everything whereupon part of their carcass falls shall be
unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in
pieces: they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.
Lev
11:36 Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is a
gathered shall be clean: but that which touches their carcass shall
be unclean.
Lev
11:37 If part of their carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to
be sown, it is clean.
Lev
11:38 But if water is put on the seed, and part of their carcass
falls on it, it is unclean to you.
Lev
11:39 " 'If any animal, of which you may eat, dies; he who
touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
Lev
11:40 He who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be
unclean until the evening. He also who carries its carcass shall wash
his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.
Lev
11:41 " 'Every creeping thing that creeps on the earth is an
abomination. It shall not be eaten.
Lev
11:42 Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or
whatever has many feet, even all creeping things that creep on the
earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
Lev
11:43 You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping
thing that creeps, neither shall you make yourselves unclean with
them, that you should be defiled thereby.
Lev
11:44 For I am Yahweh your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and
be holy; for I am holy: neither shall you defile yourselves with any
kind of creeping thing that moves on the earth.
Lev
11:45 For I am Yahweh who brought you up out of the land of Egypt,
to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
Lev
11:46 " 'This is the law of the animal, and of the bird, and of
every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature
that creeps on the earth,
Lev
11:47 to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and
between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that
may not be eaten.' "
Lev
12:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Lev
12:2 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'If a woman
conceives, and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean seven
days; as in the days of her monthly period she shall be unclean.
Lev
12:3 In the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be
circumcised.
Lev
12:4 She shall continue in the blood of purification thirty-three
days. She shall not touch any holy thing, nor come into the
sanctuary, until the days of her purifying are completed.
Lev
12:5 But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two
weeks, as in her period; and she shall continue in the blood of
purification sixty-six days.
Lev
12:6 " 'When the days of her purification are completed, for a
son, or for a daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the door of
the Tent of Meeting, a year old lamb for a burnt offering, and a
young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering:
Lev
12:7 and he shall offer it before Yahweh, and make atonement for
her; and she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood. "
'This is the law for her who bears, whether a male or a female.
Lev
12:8 If she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two
turtledoves, or two young pigeons; the one for a burnt offering, and
the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make atonement for
her, and she shall be clean.' "
