Leviticus 11 :: Amplified Bible (AMP)

‘These you may eat, whatever is in the water: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, these you may eat;

‘These you shall detest among the birds; they are not to be eaten, for they are [fn]hated things: the eagle and the vulture and the buzzard,

‘All winged insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you;

‘By [contact with] these you will become unclean; whoever touches their carcasses becomes unclean until the evening (dusk),

‘These also are unclean to you among the swarming things that crawl around on the ground [and multiply profusely]: the mole, the mouse, and any kind of great lizard,

‘If one of the animals that you may eat dies [of natural causes], whoever touches its carcass becomes unclean until the evening.

‘Now everything that swarms on the ground is detestable; it is not to be eaten.

This is the law regarding the animal and the bird and every living thing that moves in the waters and everything that swarms on the earth,
