Deuteronomy 14
1 Ye are the children of the Lord your God: ye shall not make any baldness between you eyes for the dead.
“You [are] sons of your God YHWH; you do not cut yourselves, nor make baldness between your eyes for the dead;
2 For thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God, and the Lord thy God has chosen thee to be a peculiar people to himself of all the nations on the face of the earth.
for you [are] a holy people to your God YHWH, and YHWH has fixed on you to be to Him for a people, a peculiar treasure, out of all the peoples who [are] on the face of the ground.
3 Ye shall not eat any abominable thing.
You do not eat any abomination;
4 These [are] the beasts which ye shall eat; the calf of the herd, and lamb of the sheep, and kid of the goats;
this [is] the beast which you eat: ox, lamb of the sheep, or kid of the goats,
5 the stag, and doe, and pygarg, and wild goat, and camelopard.
deer, and roe, and fallow deer, and wild goat, and ibex, and antelope, and zemer;
6 Every beast that divides the hoofs, and makes claws of two divisions, and that chews the cud among beasts, these ye shall eat.
and every beast dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft into two hooves, bringing up the cud, among the beasts—you eat it.
7 And these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, and of those that divide the hoofs, and make distinct claws; the camel, and the hare, and the rabbit; because they chew the cud, and do not divide the hoof, these are unclean to you.
Only, this you do not eat, of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the cloven hoof: the camel, and the hare, and the hyrax, for they are bringing up the cud, but the hoof has not divided—they [are] unclean to you;
8 And as for the swine, because he divides the hoof, and makes claws of the hoof, yet he chews not the cud, he is unclean to you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, ye shall not touch their dead bodies.
and the sow, for it is dividing the hoof, and not [bringing] up the cud—it [is] unclean to you; you do not eat of their flesh, and you do not come against their carcass.
9 And these ye shall eat of all that are in the water, ye shall eat all that have fins and scales.
This you eat of all which [are] in the waters: anything that has fins and scales you eat;
10 And all that have not fins and scales ye shall not eat; they are unclean to you.
and anything which does not have fins and scales you do not eat—it [is] unclean to you.
11 Ye shall eat every clean bird.
Any clean bird you eat;
12 And these of them ye shall not eat; the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle,
and these [are] they of which you do not eat: the eagle, and the bearded vulture, and the osprey,
13 and the vulture, and the kite and the like to it,
and the kite, and the falcon, and the vulture after its kind,
and every raven after its kind;
15 and the sparrow, and the owl, and the seamew,
and the ostrich, and the nightjar [[or male ostrich]], and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind;
16 and the heron, and the swan, and the stork,
the little owl, and the great owl, and the waterhen,
17 and the cormorant, and the hawk, and its like, and the hoopoe, and the raven,
and the pelican, and the Egyptian vulture, and the cormorant,
18 and the pelican, and the diver and the like to it, and the red-bill and the bat.
and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
19 All winged animals that creep are unclean to you; ye shall not eat of them.
And every teeming thing which is flying—it [is] unclean to you; they are not eaten;
20 Ye shall eat every clean bird.
any clean bird you eat.
21 Ye shall eat nothing that dies of itself; it shall be given to the sojourner in thy cities and he shall eat it, or thou shalt sell it to a stranger, because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not boil a lamb in his mother's milk.
You do not eat of any carcass; you give it to the sojourner who [is] within your gates, and he has eaten it; or sell [it] to a stranger; for you [are] a holy people to your God YHWH. You do not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.
22 Thou shalt tithe a tenth of all the produce of thy seed, the fruit of thy field year by year.
You certainly tithe all the increase of your seed which the field is bringing forth year by year;
23 And thou shalt eat it in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to have his name called there; ye shall bring the tithe of thy corn and of thy wine, and of thine oil, the first-born of thy herd and of thy flock, that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always.
and you have eaten before your God YHWH, in the place where He chooses to cause His Name to dwell, the tithe of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the firstlings of your herd, and of your flock, so that you learn to fear your God YHWH [for] all the days.
24 And if the journey be too far for thee, and thou art not able to bring them, because the place [is] far from thee which the Lord thy God shall choose to have his name called there, because the Lord thy God will bless thee;
And when the way is too much for you, that you are not able to carry it—when the place is too far off from you which your God YHWH chooses to put His Name there, when your God YHWH blesses you—
25 then thou shalt sell them for money, and thou shalt take the money in thy hands, and thou shalt go to the place which the Lord thy God shall choose.
then you have given [it] in money, and have bound up the money in your hand, and gone to the place on which your God YHWH fixes;
26 And thou shalt give the money for whatsoever thy soul shall desire, for oxen or for sheep, or for wine, or [thou shalt lay it out] on strong drink, or on whatsoever thy soul may desire, and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice and thy house,
and you have given the money for anything which your soul desires, for oxen, and for sheep, and for wine, and for strong drink, and for anything which your soul asks for, and you have eaten before your God YHWH there, and you have rejoiced, you and your house.
27 and the Levite that is in thy cities, because he has not a portion or inheritance with thee.
As for the Levite who [is] within your gates, you do not forsake him, for he has no portion and inheritance with you.
28 After three years thou shalt bring out all the tithes of thy fruits, in that year thou shalt lay it up in thy cities.
At the end of three years you bring out all the tithe of your increase in that year, and have placed [it] within your gates;
29 And the Levite shall come, because he has no part or lot with thee, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow which is in thy cities; and they shall eat and be filled, that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works which thou shalt do.
and the Levite has come in—for he has no part and inheritance with you—and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within your gates, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, so that your God YHWH blesses you in all the work of your hand which you do.”
