Thematic Bible: Ordained as food for man


Thematic Bible



The fear also and dread of you be upon all beasts of the earth, and upon all fowls of the air, and upon all that creepeth on the earth, and upon all fishes of the sea, which are given unto your hands. And all that moveth upon the earth, having life, shall be your meat: Even as the green herbs, so give I you all things.

whatsoever hath hoof and divideth it into two claws and cheweth cud among the beasts, that shall ye eat.

"'These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, seas and rivers, that shall ye eat.

Yet these may ye eat of all the fowls that move and go upon four feet, even those that have no knees above upon their feet to leap withal upon the earth, even these of them ye may eat: the arb and all his kind; the soleam with all his kind; the hargol and all the kind; and the hagab and all his kind.

These are the beasts which ye shall eat of: oxen, sheep and goats, hart, roe and bugle, hart goat, unicorn, origen and camelion. And all beasts that cleave the hoof, and slit it into two claws and chew the cud, them ye shall eat.

These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: All that have fins and scales.

Of all clean birds ye shall eat,

but of all clean fowls ye may well eat.
