2 “ Dicite filiis Israel: Haec sunt animalia, quae comedere debetis de cunctis animantibus terrae.	2 Say to the sons of Israel: These are the animals that you ought to eat out of all the living things of the earth.
3 Omne, quod habet plene divisam ungulam et ruminat in pecoribus, comedetis.	3 All that has a divided hoof, and that chews over again, among the cattle, you shall eat.
4 Haec autem non comedetis ex ruminantibus vel dividentibus ungulam: camelum, quia ruminat quidem, sed non dividit ungulam, inter immunda reputabis;	4 But whatever certainly chews over again, but has a hoof that is not divided, such as the camel and others, these you shall not eat, and you shall consider them to be among what is unclean.
5 hyracem, qui ruminat ungulamque non dividit, immundus est;	5 The rock rabbit which chews over again, and whose hoof is not divided, is unclean,
6 leporem quoque, nam et ipse ruminat, sed ungulam non dividit;	6 and so also is the hare, for it too chews over again, yet its hoof is not divided,
7 et suem, qui, cum ungulam plene dividat, non ruminat.	7 and also the swine, which, though its hoof is divided, does not chew over again.
8 Horum carnibus non vescemini nec cadavera contingetis, quia immunda sunt vobis.	8 The flesh of these you shall not eat, nor shall you touch their carcasses, because they are unclean to you.
9 Haec sunt, quae gignuntur in aquis et vesci licitum est: omne, quod habet pinnulas et squamas, tam in mari quam in fluminibus et torrentibus, comedetis.	9 These are the things that breed in the waters, and which it is lawful to eat. All that has little fins and scales, as much in the sea, as in the rivers and ponds, you shall eat.
