Denn alles, was nicht Floßfedern und Schuppen hat in Wassern, sollt ihr scheuen.
Todo lo que no tuviere aletas y escamas en las aguas, tendréislo en abominación.
Todo lo que hay en el agua y no tiene aletas y escamas será detestable para ustedes.
Vous aurez en abomination tous ceux qui, dans les eaux, n'ont pas des nageoires et des écailles.
In somma, siavi cosa abbominevole ogni animale che nell’acque non ha pennette, nè scaglie.
Todo o que não tem barbatanas ou escamas, nas águas, será para vós abominação.
凡在水裏無鰭無鱗的,對你們是可憎的。
