2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘(A)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 Israelis that these are the living creatures that you may eat among the animals of 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 clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
3 You may eat any animal with divided hooves and that chews the cud.
3 You may eat any animal that has divided hooves with cloven feet and that ruminates its cud,
3 You may eat any animal that has a divided hoof [that is, a hoof split into two parts especially at its distal extremity] and chews the cud.
4 Nevertheless, (B)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 But among the ones that chew the cud or have divided hooves you are not to eat these:the camel,(C) though it chews the cud,does not have divided hooves—it is unclean for you;
4 except you are not to eat the following animals that have divided hooves or ruminate their cud: the camel (because it chews the cud but doesn't have divided hooves, it is to be unclean for you),
4 Nevertheless, you are not to eat these, among those which chew the cud or divide the hoof: the camel, because it chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; it is [ceremonially] unclean to you.
5 Likewise, the (a)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 the rock badger (because it chews its cud but its hooves aren't divided, it is to be unclean for you),
6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
6 the hare, though it chews the cud,does not have hooves—it is unclean for you;
6 the hare (because it chews its cud, but its hooves aren't divided, it is to be unclean for you),
6 And the hare, because it chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to 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 clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
7 the pig, though it has divided hooves,does not chew the cud—it is unclean for you.
7 and the pig (because it has divided hooves and is therefore cloven-footed, but it doesn't ruminate its cud, it is to be unclean for you).
7 And the swine, because it divides the hoof and makes a split hoof, but does not chew the cud; it is unclean to 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 carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
8 You are not to eat their flesh or even touch their carcasses. They are to be unclean for you."
8 You shall not eat their meat nor touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.
9 ‘(C)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 “This is what you may eat from all that is in the water: You may eat everything in the water that has fins and scales, whether in the seas or streams.

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 But these are to be detestable to you: everything in the seas or streams that does not have fins and scales among all the swarming things and other living creatures(F) in the water.
10 But anything that doesn't have fins or scales whether from the seas or the rivers any of the swarming creatures and living creatures in the waters are detestable for you.
11 and they shall be (c)abhorrent to you; you may not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses you shall detest.

13 ‘These, moreover, (E)you shall detest among the birds; they are (e)abhorrent, not to be eaten: the (f)eagle and the vulture and the (g)buzzard,
13 And 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,
