Deuteronomy 14

You {are} the sons of God your God. Do not cut yourselves, and do not make a baldness between your eyes for the dead,

for you {are} a nation set apart for God your God, and God has chosen you to be a people for his possession, over all the peoples that are on the face of the earth. \*

Do not eat any abominable thing.

These {are} the animals that you may eat: the ox, the sheep from the flock and the goat from the flock,

the deer and the gazelle and the roebuck and the wild goat and ibex and the antelope and the mountain sheep. \*

And you may eat any animal among the animals parting the hoof or {with} a cleft splitting {into} two hooves, chewing the cud.

Despite this, from chewers of the cud and from splitters of the hoof, the cloven-footed, you must not eat: the camel and the rabbit and the rock badger, because they cause the cud to go up and do not part the hoof, they {are} unclean to you. \*

And the pig, because he parts the hoof and {chews} not the cud, he {is} unclean to you. From their meat do not eat, and do not touch their carcasses. \*

You may eat this from all that is in the water, all that has fins and scales you may eat.

And all that does not have fins and scales you must not eat; it {is} unclean to you. \*

All clean birds you may eat.

And this {is} what you must not eat from them: the eagle, and the large vulture, and the black vulture,

the red kite, and the falcon, and the kite according to its kind, \*

and any raven according to its kind,

and the ostrich, and the owl, and the gull, and the hawk according to its kind,

the little owl, and the great owl, and the white owl,

and the pelican, and the carrion vulture, and the cormorant, \*

and the stork, and the heron according to its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat. \*

And all winged, swarming things are unclean to you; they must not be eaten.

You may eat all clean flying things. \*

You must not eat anything dying {of itself}; you may give it to the sojourner who {is} within your gates, and he may eat it or sell to a foreigner. For you {are} a nation sanctified to God your God. You must not boil a young goat in the milk of its mother. \*

Tithing, you shall tithe all the produce of your seed that comes out of the field year {after} year.

And you shall eat to the face of God your God, in the place that he will choose to make his name stay there, the tithe of your grain, your new wine, and your oil and the firstborn of your herd and your flock, so that you will learn to honor God your God all the days. \*

And if the journey is too long for you, that you are not able to carry it (because the place that God your God will choose to put his name there is too far from you), when God your God blesses you,

then you may give it in silver, and bind the silver in your hand, and go to the place that God your God will choose it. \*

And give the money for anything that your soul desires, for oxen or for sheep or for wine or for strong drink or for anything that your soul desires, and you shall eat there to the face of God your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household.

And the Levite who {is} within your gates, do not forsake him, for he has no portion nor inheritance with you. \*

At the end of every three years you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce in that year, and you shall deposit {it} within your gates;

and the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the foreigner and the fatherless and the widow who {are} within your gates, will come and eat and be satisfied so that God your God may bless you in all the work of your hand that you do. \*
