Deuteronomy 14
- 1You are the children of the Lord your God: you shall not cut yourselves, or make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
- 2For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a people of his own, above all the nations that are on the earth.
- 3You shall not eat any disgusting thing.
- 4These are the beasts which you shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
- 5The deer, and the gazelle, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the ibex, and the wild ox, and the mountain sheep.
- 6And every beast that parts the hoof, and has each hoof split in two, and chews the cud among the beasts, that you shall eat.
- 7But these you shall not eat of those who chew the cud, or of those who divide the cloven hoof, as the camel, and the hare, and the coney. For they chew the cud, but do not divide the hoof, therefore they are unclean to you.
- 8And the pigs, because it divides the hoof, yet does not chew the cud, it is unclean to you: you shall not eat of their flesh, or touch their dead body.
- 9These you shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall you eat:
- 10And whatever has not fins and scales you may not eat. It is unclean to you.
- 11Of all clean birds you shall eat.
- 12But these are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle, and the vulture, and the osprey,
- 13And the vulture, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
- 14And every raven after his kind,
- 15And the owl, and the night hawk, and the gull, and the hawk after his kind,
- 16The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
- 17And the pelican, and the carrion vulture, and the cormorant,
- 18And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
- 19And every creeping thing that flies is unclean to you: they shall not be eaten.
- 20But of all clean birds you may eat.
- 21You shall not eat of anything that dies of itself: you shall give it to the foreigner that is in your gates, that he may eat it. Or you may sell it to someone from another nation. For you are a holy people to the Lord your God. You shall not boil a kid in his mother's milk.
- 22You shall truly tithe all the increase of your seed, that the field produces year by year.
- 23And you shall eat before the Lord your God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herds and of your flocks. That you may learn to fear the Lord your God always.
- 24And if the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it. Or if the place is too far from you, which the Lord your God shall choose to set his name there, when the Lord your God has blessed you:
- 25Then you shall turn it into money, and bind up the money in your hand, and shall go to the place which the Lord your God shall choose:
- 26And you shall bestow that money for whatever your soul desires after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever your soul desires: and you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice, you, and your household,
- 27And the Levite that is within your gates. You shall not abandon him. For he has no part or inheritance with you.
- 28At the end of three years you shall bring out all the tithe of your increase the same year, and shall lay it up within your gates:
- 29And the Levite, because he has no part or inheritance with you, and the foreigner, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.
