1 The|strong="H0559" LORD|strong="H3068" said|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0413" Moses|strong="H4872" and|strong="H3068" Aaron|strong="H0175",
2 “Tell|strong="H0559" the|strong="H3605" Israelites|strong="H3478": These|strong="H2063" are|strong="H0834" the|strong="H3605" animals|strong="H0929" you|strong="H0834" can|strong="H0834" eat|strong="H0398":
3 If an animal|strong="H0929" has|strong="H3605" hooves|strong="H6541" that|strong="H3605" are|strong="H5927" split|strong="H8156" into|strong="H5927" two|strong="H8156" parts|strong="H6541", and|strong="H0398" if that|strong="H3605" animal|strong="H0929" also|strong="H0853" chews|strong="H5927" the|strong="H3605" cud|strong="H1625", then|strong="H0853" you|strong="H3605" may|strong="H0398" eat|strong="H0398" the|strong="H3605" meat from|strong="H5927" that|strong="H3605" animal|strong="H0929".
7 Other animals have|strong="H3588" hooves|strong="H6541" that|strong="H3588" are|strong="H3808" split|strong="H8156" into two|strong="H3808" parts|strong="H6541", but|strong="H3588" they|strong="H3588" don’t|strong="H3808" chew|strong="H1641" the|strong="H0853" cud|strong="H1625". Don’t|strong="H3808" eat these|strong="H1931" animals. Pigs are|strong="H3808" like|strong="H3808" that|strong="H3588", so|strong="H3808" they|strong="H3588" are|strong="H3808" unclean|strong="H2931" for|strong="H3588" you|strong="H3588".
8 Don’t|strong="H3808" eat|strong="H0398" the|strong="H0398" meat|strong="H1320" from|strong="H0398" these|strong="H1992" animals. Don’t|strong="H3808" even|strong="H3808" touch|strong="H5060" their|strong="H1992" dead|strong="H5038" bodies|strong="H1320"! They|strong="H1992" are|strong="H1992" unclean|strong="H2931" for|strong="H3808" you|strong="H3808".
9 “You|strong="H0834" may|strong="H0834" eat|strong="H0398" everything|strong="H3605" that|strong="H0834" lives in|strong="H3220" the|strong="H3605" sea|strong="H3220" or|strong="H0398" in|strong="H3220" a|strong="H0834" river|strong="H5158" that|strong="H0834" has|strong="H0834" fins|strong="H5579" and|strong="H0398" scales|strong="H7193".
12 It|strong="H1931" is|strong="H0369" a|strong="H0834" sickening thought for|strong="H4325" you|strong="H0834" to|strong="H0369" touch anything|strong="H3605" that|strong="H0834" lives in|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" water|strong="H4325" and|strong="H4325" does|strong="H0834" not|strong="H0369" have|strong="H0834" fins|strong="H5579" and|strong="H4325" scales|strong="H7193".
13 “You|strong="H0853" must|strong="H0853" also|strong="H0853" treat some|strong="H4480" birds|strong="H5775" as|strong="H0398" things|strong="H0428" that|strong="H4480" are|strong="H1992" wrong to|strong="H4480" eat|strong="H0398". Stay away|strong="H4480" from|strong="H4480" them|strong="H1992". It|strong="H0398" is|strong="H0428" a|strong="H4480" sickening thought for|strong="H3808" you|strong="H0853" to|strong="H4480" eat|strong="H0398" any|strong="H4480" of|strong="H4480" these|strong="H0428" birds|strong="H5775": eagles|strong="H5404", vultures|strong="H5404", buzzards,

20 “Don’t eat insects|strong="H8318" that|strong="H3605" have|strong="H3605" wings|strong="H5775" and|strong="H1980" crawl. Even|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" thought of|strong="H5921" eating them|strong="H5921" should|strong="H1980" make you|strong="H3605" sick!
21 But|strong="H0389" you|strong="H0834" may|strong="H0776" eat|strong="H0398" insects|strong="H8318" if|strong="H0834" they|strong="H0834" have|strong="H0834" legs|strong="H3767" with|strong="H1980" joints above|strong="H5921" their|strong="H3605" feet|strong="H7272" so|strong="H1980" that|strong="H0834" they|strong="H0834" can|strong="H0834" jump.
22 You|strong="H0853" may|strong="H0428" also|strong="H0853" eat|strong="H0398" all|strong="H0398" kinds|strong="H4327" of|strong="H0398" locusts|strong="H0697", all|strong="H0398" kinds|strong="H4327" of|strong="H0398" winged locusts|strong="H0697", all|strong="H0398" kinds|strong="H4327" of|strong="H0398" crickets, and|strong="H0398" all|strong="H0398" kinds|strong="H4327" of|strong="H0398" grasshoppers|strong="H2284".
23 “But|strong="H0834" stay away|strong="H3605" from|strong="H7272" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" other|strong="H3605" insects|strong="H8318" that|strong="H0834" have|strong="H0834" wings|strong="H5775" and|strong="H7272" crawl.
24 They|strong="H5704" will|strong="H5704" make|strong="H2930" you|strong="H3605" unclean|strong="H2930". If you|strong="H3605" touch|strong="H5060" the|strong="H3605" dead|strong="H5038" bodies|strong="H5038" of|strong="H3605" these|strong="H0428" insects, you|strong="H3605" will|strong="H5704" become|strong="H2930" unclean|strong="H2930" until|strong="H5704" evening|strong="H6153".

Whatever|strong="H0834" it|strong="H5921" is|strong="H0834" or|strong="H0176" is|strong="H0834" used|strong="H6213" for|strong="H5921", it|strong="H5921" must be|strong="H4325" washed with|strong="H5921" water|strong="H4325".
