  • Deut 14:1-9 : 1 You are children of the LORD your God. Do not cut yourselves or shave a bald spot on your foreheads for the dead. 2 For you are a holy people set apart for the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be His treasured possession out of all the peoples on the face of the earth. 3 You shall not eat any detestable thing. 4 These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat; 5 the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the mountain sheep. 6 You may eat any animal that has divided hooves completely split and chews the cud. 7 But of those that chew the cud or have divided hooves, you shall not eat these: the camel, the hare, and the rock badger, because although they chew the cud, they do not have divided hooves; they are unclean for you. 8 And the pig, though it has divided hooves, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you. You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses. 9 You may eat anything in the waters that has fins and scales. 10 But anything in the waters that does not have fins and scales, you are not to eat; it is unclean for you. 11 You may eat any clean bird. 12 But of these you shall not eat: the eagle, the vulture, and the black vulture; 13 the red kite, the black kite, and any kind of falcon; 14 every raven of any kind; 15 the ostrich, the night hawk, the sea gull, and any kind of hawk; 16 the little owl, the great owl, and the white owl; 17 the pelican, the carrion vulture, and the cormorant; 18 the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat. 19 Every swarming winged creature is unclean for you; they shall not be eaten. 20 You may eat any clean flying creature. 21 You shall not eat anything that dies naturally. You may give it to the foreigner living in your towns so that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a holy people set apart for the LORD your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk. 22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all the yield of your seed that comes from the field year by year. 23 You shall eat the tithe of your grain, your new wine, your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and flock in the presence of the LORD your God at the place He chooses for His name to dwell, so that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always. 24 But if the journey is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it, because the place where the LORD your God chooses to establish His name is too far away, then when the LORD your God blesses you, 25 you shall exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place the LORD your God chooses. 26 Then you may spend the money on whatever you desire: cattle, sheep, wine, strong drink, or whatever you wish. You shall eat there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice, you and your household. 27 And do not neglect the Levite living in your towns, for he has no portion or inheritance with you. 28 At the end of every three years, bring out a tenth of all your produce for that year and store it within your towns. 29 Then the Levite (because he has no portion or inheritance with you), the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
