Dies ist das Gesetz von den Tieren und Vögeln und allerlei Tieren, die sich regen im Wasser, und allerlei Tieren, die auf Erden schleichen,
Esta es la ley de los animales y de las aves, y de todo ser viviente que se mueve en las aguas, y de todo animal que anda arrastrando sobre la tierra;
Esta es la ley acerca de los animales terrestres, de las aves, de todo ser viviente que se mueve en el agua y de todo ser que pulula por la tierra,
Telle est la loi touchant les animaux, les oiseaux, tous les êtres vivants qui se meuvent dans les eaux, et tous les êtres qui rampent sur la terre,
Quest’è la legge intorno alle bestie, e agli uccelli, e ad ogni animal vivente che guizza nelle acque, e ad ogni animale che serpe sopra la terra;
Esta é a lei dos animais, e das aves, e de toda criatura vivente que se move nas águas, e de toda criatura que se arrasta sobre a terra;
