These you may eat from among water creatures: anything with fins and scales you may eat,

All ritually clean birds you may eat.

You may eat any clean bird.

However, you must not eat blood – pour it out on the ground like water.

These are the ones you may not eat: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture,

These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat,

but whatever does not have fins and scales you may not eat; it is ritually impure to you.

You may eat any animal that has hooves divided into two parts and that chews the cud.

Also the pig is ritually impure to you; though it has divided hooves, it does not chew the cud. You may not eat their meat or even touch their remains.

However, you may not eat the following animals among those that chew the cud or those that have divided hooves: the camel, the hare, and the rock badger. (Although they chew the cud, they do not have divided hooves and are therefore ritually impure to you).

You may not eat any corpse, though you may give it to the resident foreigner who is living in your villages and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. You are a people holy to the Lord your God. Do not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.
