They must not be eaten because they are abhorrent: eagles, bearded vultures, Egyptian vultures,kites, any kind of falcon,every kind of raven,ostriches, short-eared owls, gulls, any kind of hawk,little owls, cormorants, long-eared owls,barn owls, eagle owls, ospreys,storks, any kind of heron, hoopoes, and bats.“ All winged insects that walk on all fours are to be abhorrent to you.But you may eat these kinds of all the winged insects that walk on all fours: those that have jointed legs above their feet for hopping on the ground.You may eat these: any kind of locust, katydid, cricket, and grasshopper.All other winged insects that have four feet are to be abhorrent to you.“ These will make you unclean. Whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until evening,and whoever carries any of their carcasses is to wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening.All animals that have hooves but do not have a divided hoof and do not chew the cud are unclean for you. Whoever touches them becomes unclean.All the four-footed animals that walk on their paws are unclean for you. Whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until evening,and anyone who carries their carcasses is to wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening. They are unclean for you.“ These creatures that swarm on the ground are unclean for you: weasels, mice, any kind of large lizard,geckos, monitor lizards, common lizards, skinks, and chameleons.These are unclean for you among all the swarming creatures. Whoever touches them when they are dead will be unclean until evening.When any one of them dies and falls on anything it becomes unclean— any item of wood, clothing, leather, sackcloth, or any implement used for work. It is to be rinsed with water and will remain unclean until evening; then it will be clean.If any of them falls into any clay pot, everything in it will become unclean; you are to break it.Any edible food coming into contact with that unclean water will become unclean, and any drinkable liquid in any container will become unclean.Anything one of their carcasses falls on will become unclean. If it is an oven or stove, it is to be smashed; it is unclean and will remain unclean for you.A spring or cistern containing water will remain clean, but someone who touches a carcass in it will become unclean.If one of their carcasses falls on any seed that is to be sown, it is clean;but if water has been put on the seed and one of their carcasses falls on it, it is unclean for you.“ If one of the animals that you use for food dies, anyone who touches its carcass will be unclean until evening.Anyone who eats some of its carcass is to wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening. Anyone who carries its carcass must wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening.“ All the creatures that swarm on the earth are abhorrent; they must not be eaten.Do not eat any of the creatures that swarm on the earth, anything that moves on its belly or walks on all fours or on many feet, for they are abhorrent.Do not become contaminated by any creature that swarms; do not become unclean or defiled by them.For I am the LORD your God, so you must consecrate yourselves and be holy because I am holy. Do not defile yourselves by any swarming creature that crawls on the ground.For I am the LORD, who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God, so you must be holy because I am holy.“ This is the law concerning animals, birds, all living creatures that move in the water, and all creatures that swarm on the ground,in order to distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between the animals that may be eaten and those that may not be eaten.”

He will bring it to the entrance to the tent of meeting so that he may be accepted by the LORD.He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering so it can be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.He is to slaughter the bull before the LORD; Aaron’s sons the priests are to present the blood and splatter it on all sides of the altar that is at the entrance to the tent of meeting.Then he is to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.The sons of Aaron the priest will prepare a fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire.Aaron’s sons the priests are to arrange the pieces, the head, and the fat on top of the burning wood on the altar.The offerer is to wash its entrails and legs with water. Then the priest will burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.“ But if his offering for a burnt offering is from the flock, from sheep or goats, he is to present an unblemished male.He will slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the LORD. Aaron’s sons the priests will splatter its blood against the altar on all sides.He will cut the animal into pieces with its head and its fat, and the priest will arrange them on top of the burning wood on the altar.But he is to wash the entrails and legs with water. The priest will then present all of it and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.“ If his offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, he is to present his offering from the turtledoves or young pigeons.Then the priest is to bring it to the altar, and will twist off its head and burn it on the altar; its blood should be drained at the side of the altar.He will remove its digestive tract, cutting off the tail feathers, and throw it on the east side of the altar at the place for ashes.He will tear it open by its wings without dividing the bird. Then the priest is to burn it on the altar on top of the burning wood. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
