1وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى وَهَارُونَ،2قُولاَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، هَذِهِ هِيَ الْحَيَوَانَاتُ الَّتِي تَأْكُلُونَهَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْبَهَائِمِ الَّتِي عَلَى الأَرْضِ،3كُلُّ مَا شَقَّ ظِلْفاً وَقَسَمَهُ ظِلْفَيْنِ وَيَجْتَرُّ مِنَ الْبَهَائِمِ فَإِيَّاهُ تَأْكُلُونَ.4إِلاَّ هَذِهِ فَلاَ تَأْكُلُوهَا مِمَّا يَجْتَرُّ وَمِمَّا يَشُقُّ الظِّلْفَ، الْجَمَلَ، لأَنَّهُ يَجْتَرُّ لَكِنَّهُ لاَ يَشُقُّ ظِلْفاً، فَهُوَ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ.5وَالْوَبْرَ، لأَنَّهُ يَجْتَرُّ لَكِنَّهُ لاَ يَشُقُّ ظِلْفاً فَهُوَ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ.6وَالأَرْنَبَ، لأَنَّهُ يَجْتَرُّ لَكِنَّهُ لاَ يَشُقُّ ظِلْفاً فَهُوَ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ.7وَالْخِنْزِيرَ، لأَنَّهُ يَشُقُّ ظِلْفاً وَيَقْسِمُهُ ظِلْفَيْنِ لَكِنَّهُ لاَ يَجْتَرُّ، فَهُوَ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ.8مِنْ لَحْمِهَا لاَ تَأْكُلُوا وَجُثَثَهَا لاَ تَلْمِسُوا. إِنَّهَا نَجِسَةٌ لَكُمْ.9وَهَذَا تَأْكُلُونَهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مَا فِي الْمِيَاهِ، كُلُّ مَا لَهُ زَعَانِفُ وَحَرْشَفٌ فِي الْمِيَاهِ، فِي الْبِحَارِ وَفِي الأَنْهَارِ، فَإِيَّاهُ تَأْكُلُونَ.10لَكِنْ كُلُّ مَا لَيْسَ لَهُ زَعَانِفُ وَحَرْشَفٌ فِي الْبِحَارِ وَفِي الأَنْهَارِ، مِنْ كُلِّ دَبِيبٍ فِي الْمِيَاهِ وَمِنْ كُلِّ نَفْسٍ حَيَّةٍ فِي الْمِيَاهِ، فَهُوَ مَكْرُوهٌ لَكُمْ،11وَمَكْرُوهاً يَكُونُ لَكُمْ. مِنْ لَحْمِهِ لاَ تَأْكُلُوا وَجُثَّتَهُ تَكْرَهُونَ.12كُلُّ مَا لَيْسَ لَهُ زَعَانِفُ وَحَرْشَفٌ فِي الْمِيَاهِ فَهُوَ مَكْرُوهٌ لَكُمْ.13وَهَذِهِ تَكْرَهُونَهَا مِنَ الطُّيُورِ. لاَ تُؤْكَلْ. إِنَّهَا مَكْرُوهَةٌ، اَلنَّسْرُ وَالأَنُوقُ وَالْعُقَابُ14وَالْحِدَأَةُ وَالْبَاشِقُ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ،15وَكُلُّ غُرَابٍ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ،16وَالنَّعَامَةُ وَالظَّلِيمُ وَالسَّأَفُ وَالْبَازُ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ،17وَالْبُومُ وَالْغَوَّاصُ وَالْكُرْكِيُّ18وَالْبَجَعُ وَالْقُوقُ وَالرَّخَمُ19وَاللَّقْلَقُ وَالْبَبْغَاءَ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ، وَالْهُدْهُدُ وَالْخُفَّاشُ20وَكُلُّ دَبِيبِ الطَّيْرِ الْمَاشِي عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ. فَهُوَ مَكْرُوهٌ لَكُمْ.21إِلاَّ هَذَا تَأْكُلُونَهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ دَبِيبِ الطَّيْرِ الْمَاشِي عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ، مَا لَهُ كُرَاعَانِ فَوْقَ رِجْلَيْهِ يَثِبُ بِهِمَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ.22هَذَا مِنْهُ تَأْكُلُونَ. الْجَرَادُ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ، وَالدَّبَا عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ، وَالْحَرْجُوانُ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ، وَالْجُنْدُبُ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ.23لَكِنْ سَائِرُ دَبِيبِ الطَّيْرِ الَّذِي لَهُ أَرْبَعُ أَرْجُلٍ فَهُوَ مَكْرُوهٌ لَكُمْ.24مِنْ هَذِهِ تَتَنَجَّسُونَ. كُلُّ مَنْ مَسَّ جُثَثَهَا يَكُونُ نَجِساً إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ،25وَكُلُّ مَنْ حَمَلَ مِنْ جُثَثِهَا يَغْسِلُ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَكُونُ نَجِساً إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ.26وَجَمِيعُ الْبَهَائِمِ الَّتِي لَهَا ظِلْفٌ وَلَكِنْ لاَ تَشُقُّهُ شَقّاً أَوْ لاَ تَجْتَرُّ، فَهِيَ نَجِسَةٌ لَكُمْ. كُلُّ مَنْ مَسَّهَا يَكُونُ نَجِساً.27وَكُلُّ مَا يَمْشِي عَلَى كُفُوفِهِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الْمَاشِيَةِ عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ فَهُوَ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ. كُلُّ مَنْ مَسَّ جُثَثَهَا يَكُونُ نَجِساً إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ.28وَمَنْ حَمَلَ جُثَثَهَا يَغْسِلُ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَكُونُ نَجِساً إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ. إِنَّهَا نَجِسَةٌ لَكُمْ.29وَهَذَا هُوَ النَّجِسُ لَكُمْ مِنَ الدَّبِيبِ الَّذِي يَدِبُّ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، اِبْنُ عِرْسٍ وَالْفَأْرُ وَالضَّبُّ عَلَى أَجْنَاسِهِ30وَالْحِرْذَوْنُ وَالْوَرَلُ وَالْوَزَغَةُ وَالْعِظَايَةُ وَالْحِرْبَاءُ.31هَذِهِ هِيَ النَّجِسَةُ لَكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ الدَّبِيبِ. كُلُّ مَنْ مَسَّهَا بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا يَكُونُ نَجِساً إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ،32وَكُلُّ مَا وَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهَا بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا يَكُونُ نَجِساً. مِنْ كُلِّ مَتَاعِ خَشَبٍ أَوْ ثَوْبٍ أَوْ جِلْدٍ أَوْ بَلاَسٍ. كُلُّ مَتَاعٍ يُعْمَلُ بِهِ عَمَلٌ يُلْقَى فِي الْمَاءِ وَيَكُونُ نَجِساً إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ ثُمَّ يَطْهُرُ.33وَكُلُّ مَتَاعِ خَزَفٍ وَقَعَ فِيهِ مِنْهَا، فَكُلُّ مَا فِيهِ يَتَنَجَّسُ، وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَتَكْسِرُونَهُ.34مَا يَأْتِي عَلَيْهِ مَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ طَعَامٍ يُؤْكَلُ يَكُونُ نَجِساً. وَكُلُّ شَرَابٍ يُشْرَبُ فِي كُلِّ مَتَاعٍ يَكُونُ نَجِساً.35وَكُلُّ مَا وَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ جُثَثِهَا يَكُونُ نَجِساً. اَلتَّنُّورُ وَالْمَوْقِدَةُ يُهْدَمَانِ. إِنَّهَا نَجِسَةٌ وَتَكُونُ نَجِسَةً لَكُمْ.36إِلاَّ الْعَيْنَ وَالْبِئْرَ، مُجْتَمَعَيِ الْمَاءِ، تَكُونَانِ طَاهِرَتَيْنِ. لَكِنْ مَا مَسَّ جُثَثَهَا يَكُونُ نَجِساً.37وَإِذَا وَقَعَتْ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ جُثَثِهَا عَلَى شَيْءٍ مِنْ بِزْرِ زَرْعٍ يُزْرَعُ فَهُوَ طَاهِرٌ.38لَكِنْ إِذَا جُعِلَ مَاءٌ عَلَى بِزْرٍ فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ جُثَثِهَا فَإِنَّهُ نَجِسٌ لَكُمْ.39وَإِذَا مَاتَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الْبَهَائِمِ الَّتِي هِيَ طَعَامٌ لَكُمْ، فَمَنْ مَسَّ جُثَّتَهُ يَكُونُ نَجِساً إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ.40وَمَنْ أَكَلَ مِنْ جُثَّتِهِ يَغْسِلُ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَكُونُ نَجِساً إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ. وَمَنْ حَمَلَ جُثَّتَهُ يَغْسِلُ ثِيَابَهُ وَيَكُونُ نَجِساً إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ.41وَكُلُّ دَبِيبٍ يَدِبُّ عَلَى الأَرْضِ فَهُوَ مَكْرُوهٌ لاَ يُؤْكَلُ.42كُلُّ مَا يَمْشِي عَلَى بَطْنِهِ، وَكُلُّ مَا يَمْشِي عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ مَعَ كُلِّ مَا كَثُرَتْ أَرْجُلُهُ مِنْ كُلِّ دَبِيبٍ يَدِبُّ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، لاَ تَأْكُلُوهُ لأَنَّهُ مَكْرُوهٌ.43لاَ تُدَنِّسُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ بِدَبِيبٍ يَدِبُّ، وَلاَ تَتَنَجَّسُوا بِهِ وَلاَ تَكُونُوا بِهِ نَجِسِينَ.44إِنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ فَتَتَقَدَّسُونَ وَتَكُونُونَ قِدِّيسِينَ، لأَنِّي أَنَا قُدُّوسٌ. وَلاَ تُنَجِّسُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ بِدَبِيبٍ يَدِبُّ عَلَى الأَرْضِ.45إِنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ الَّذِي أَصْعَدَكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لِيَكُونَ لَكُمْ إِلَهاً. فَتَكُونُونَ قِدِّيسِينَ لأَنِّي أَنَا قُدُّوسٌ.46هَذِهِ شَرِيعَةُ الْبَهَائِمِ، وَالطُّيُورِ، وَكُلِّ نَفْسٍ حَيَّةٍ تَسْعَى فِي الْمَاءِ، وَكُلِّ نَفْسٍ تَدِبُّ عَلَى الأَرْضِ،47لِلتَّمْيِيزِ بَيْنَ النَّجِسِ وَالطَّاهِرِ، وَبَيْنَ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الَّتِي تُؤْكَلُ وَالْحَيَوَانَاتِ الَّتِي لاَ تُؤْكَلُ.
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.9These 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.13And 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.29These 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.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.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.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.
