- 1And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,וַיְדַבֵּ֧ר יְהוָ֛ה אֶל מֹשֶׁ֥ה וְאֶֽל אַהֲרֹ֖ן לֵאמֹ֥ר אֲלֵהֶֽם
- 2Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.דַּבְּר֛וּ אֶל בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לֵאמֹ֑ר זֹ֤את הַֽחַיָּה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תֹּאכְל֔וּ מִכָּל הַבְּהֵמָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר עַל הָאָֽרֶץ
- 3Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.כֹּ֣ל מַפְרֶ֣סֶת פַּרְסָ֗ה וְשֹׁסַ֤עַת שֶׁ֨סַע֙ פְּרָסֹ֔ת מַעֲלַ֥ת גֵּרָ֖ה בַּבְּהֵמָ֑ה אֹתָ֖הּ תֹּאכֵֽלוּ
- 4Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.אַ֤ךְ אֶת זֶה֙ לֹ֣א תֹֽאכְל֔וּ מִֽמַּעֲלֵי֙ הַגֵּרָ֔ה וּמִמַּפְרִיסֵ֖י הַפַּרְסָ֑ה אֶֽת הַ֠גָּמָל כִּֽי מַעֲלֵ֨ה גֵרָ֜ה ה֗וּא וּפַרְסָה֙ אֵינֶ֣נּוּ מַפְרִ֔יס טָמֵ֥א ה֖וּא

- 6And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.וְאֶת הָאַרְנֶ֗בֶת כִּֽי מַעֲלַ֤ת גֵּרָה֙ הִ֔וא וּפַרְסָ֖ה לֹ֣א הִפְרִ֑יסָה טְמֵאָ֥ה הִ֖וא
- 7And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.וְאֶת הַ֠חֲזִיר כִּֽי מַפְרִ֨יס פַּרְסָ֜ה ה֗וּא וְשֹׁסַ֥ע שֶׁ֨סַע֙ פַּרְסָ֔ה וְה֖וּא גֵּרָ֣ה לֹֽא יִגָּ֑ר טָמֵ֥א ה֖וּא

- 10And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:וְכֹל֩ אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֵֽין סְנַפִּ֣יר וְקַשְׂקֶ֗שֶׂת בַּיַּמִּים֙ וּבַנְּחָלִ֔ים מִכֹּל֙ שֶׁ֣רֶץ הַמַּ֔יִם וּמִכֹּ֛ל נֶ֥פֶשׁ הַחַיָּ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר בַּמָּ֑יִם שֶׁ֥קֶץ הֵ֖ם
- 11They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.וְשֶׁ֖קֶץ יִהְי֣וּ מִבְּשָׂרָם֙ לֹ֣א תֹאכֵ֔לוּ וְאֶת נִבְלָתָ֖ם תְּשַׁקֵּֽצוּ
- 12Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.כֹּ֣ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֵֽין סְנַפִּ֥יר וְקַשְׂקֶ֖שֶׂת בַּמָּ֑יִם שֶׁ֥קֶץ ה֖וּא
- 13And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,וְאֶת אֵ֨לֶּה֙ תְּשַׁקְּצ֣וּ מִן הָע֔וֹף לֹ֥א יֵאָכְל֖וּ שֶׁ֣קֶץ הֵ֑ם אֶת הַנֶּ֨שֶׁר֙ וְאֶת הַפֶּ֔רֶס וְאֵ֖ת הָעָזְנִיָּֽה

- 42Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.כֹּל֩ הוֹלֵ֨ךְ עַל וְכֹ֣ל הוֹלֵ֣ךְ עַל אַרְבַּ֗ע עַ֚ד כָּל מַרְבֵּ֣ה רַגְלַ֔יִם לְכָל הַשֶּׁ֖רֶץ הַשֹּׁרֵ֣ץ עַל הָאָ֑רֶץ לֹ֥א תֹאכְל֖וּם כִּי שֶׁ֥קֶץ הֵֽם
- 43Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.אַל תְּשַׁקְּצוּ֙ אֶת נַפְשֹׁ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם בְּכָל הַשֶּׁ֖רֶץ הַשֹּׁרֵ֑ץ וְלֹ֤א תִֽטַּמְּאוּ֙ וְנִטְמֵתֶ֖ם
- 44For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.כִּ֣י אֲנִ֣י יְהוָה֮ אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם֒ וְהִתְקַדִּשְׁתֶּם֙ וִהְיִיתֶ֣ם קְדֹשִׁ֔ים כִּ֥י קָד֖וֹשׁ אָ֑נִי וְלֹ֤א תְטַמְּאוּ֙ אֶת נַפְשֹׁ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם בְּכָל הַשֶּׁ֖רֶץ הָרֹמֵ֥שׂ עַל הָאָֽרֶץ

- 46This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:זֹ֣את תּוֹרַ֤ת הַבְּהֵמָה֙ וְהָע֔וֹף וְכֹל֙ נֶ֣פֶשׁ הַֽחַיָּ֔ה הָרֹמֶ֖שֶׂת בַּמָּ֑יִם וּלְכָל נֶ֖פֶשׁ הַשֹּׁרֶ֥צֶת עַל הָאָֽרֶץ
- 47To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.לְהַבְדִּ֕יל בֵּ֥ין הַטָּמֵ֖א וּבֵ֣ין הַטָּהֹ֑ר וּבֵ֤ין הַֽחַיָּה֙ הַֽנֶּאֱכֶ֔לֶת וּבֵין֙ הַֽחַיָּ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֖ר לֹ֥א תֵאָכֵֽל

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
Lexical definitions describe possible word ranges, not automatic interpretations of a verse. See the concordance guide, gematria method, and source policy.
