The Koine Bible

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying

Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which you shall eat from among all the beasts that are on the earth.

Every beast, cleaving the hoof and having split hoofs, and chewing the cud among the beasts—these you shall eat.

Nevertheless, of these you shall not eat, from those that bring up cud and from those that split the hoof and that have hoof-claws: the camel, because it brings up cud, but this one does not split the hoof; this is unclean to you.

and the hare, because it brings up cud; this also, and it does not divide the hoof, it is unclean to you

and the hyrax, because this brings up cud; this also has a hoof, but it does not split it in two—this is unclean to you

And the pig, because it cleaves the hoof, and it claws claws of a hoof, and this does not bring up cud, it is unclean to you

You shall not eat from their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; these are unclean to you.

And these are what you shall eat from all that are in the waters: all whatever has fins and scales in the waters and in the seas and in the streams; these you shall eat

And all that do not have fins or scales in the water or in the seas and in the torrents, from all that the waters teem with and from every living creature that is in the water, are an abomination.

and they shall be abominations to you; from their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall abhor

And everything that does not have fins and scales among those in the water, this is an abomination to you.

And these you shall regard as detestable from among the birds, and they shall not be eaten: an abomination it is, the eagle and the griffin and the sea-eagle.

And every earthen vessel into which any of these shall fall, inside, whatever is inside shall be unclean, and it shall be broken in pieces.

And every food on which water shall come shall be unclean, and every drink that is drunk in every vessel shall be unclean

And everything that if any of their carcasses falls on it, it shall be unclean; ovens and pots shall be torn down; these are unclean, and these shall be unclean to you.

And everything that goes on the belly, and everything that goes on four, with respect to all that multiplies with feet among all the swarming things that swarm on the earth, you shall not eat it, because it is an abomination to you.

And you shall not abominate your souls with all the creeping things that creep upon the earth, and you shall not be defiled by them, and you shall not be unclean by them

For I am the Lord who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God; and you shall be holy, because I am holy, I the Lord

This is the law concerning the beasts and the birds and every living creature that moves in the water and every living creature that creeps upon the earth

to make a distinction between the unclean and between the clean and between the living things that are eaten and between the living things that are not eaten
