Deuteronomy 14
1 You are the children of the Lord your God: you shall not make any baldness between you eyes for the dead.
Sons, are ye unto Yahweh your God, —ye shall not cut yourselves, neither shall ye put baldness between your eyes for the dead.
2 For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord your God has chosen you to be a peculiar people to himself of all the nations on the face of the earth.
For, a holy people, thou art unto Yahweh thy God, —and, of thee, did Yahweh make choice, that thou shouldest become his people as a treasure, above all the peoples that are on the face of the ground.
3 You shall not eat any abominable thing.
Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
4 These [are] the beasts which you shall eat; the calf of the herd, and lamb of the sheep, and kid of the goats;
These, are the beasts which ye may eat, —the ox, the young of sheep, and the young of goats;
5 the stag, and doe, and pygarg, and wild goat, and camelopard.
the hart and the gazelle and the roebuck, —and the wild goat and the mountain goat, and the wild ox, and the mountain sheep.
6 Every beast that divides the hoofs, and makes claws of two divisions, and that chews the cud amongst beasts, these you shall eat.
And every beast that parteth the hoof and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, chewing the cud, among beasts, the same, shall ye eat.
7 And these you 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.
Nevertheless these, shall ye not eat, of them that chew the cud, and of them that divide the cloven hoof, —the camel and the hare and the rabbit for, though they do chew the cud, yet the hoof, do they not part, unclean, they are unto 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; you shall not eat of their flesh, you shall not touch their dead bodies.
And, the swine, because though he doth divide the hoof, yet he cheweth not the cud, unclean, he is unto you, —of their flesh, shall ye not eat, and their carcases, shall ye not touch.
9 And these you shall eat of all that are in the water, you shall eat all that have fins and scales.
These, may ye eat of all that that are in the waters, —whatsoever hath fins and scales, ye may eat;
10 And all that have not fins and scales you shall not eat; they are unclean to you.
and, whatsoever hath not, fins and scales, ye may not eat, —unclean, it is unto you.
11 You shall eat every clean bird.
Of every clean bird, ye may eat;
12 And these of them you shall not eat; the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle,
saving these, of which ye may not eat, —the eagle and the ossifrage and the osprey;
13 and the vulture, and the kite and the like to it,
and the vulture and the kite, and the falcon after its kind;
and every raven after its kind;
15 and the sparrow, and the owl, and the cormorant,
and the female ostrich, and the male ostrich and the sea-gull, —and the hawk, after its kind;
16 and the heron, and the swan, and the stork,
and the pelican and the bittern, and the swan;
17 and the cormorant, and the hawk, and its like, and the hoopoe, and the raven,
and the vomiting pelican and the little vulture and the gannet;
18 and the pelican, and the diver and the like to it, and the red-bill and the bat.
and the stork, and the parrot, after its kind, —and the mountain-cock, and the bat.
19 All winged animals that creep are unclean to you; you shall not eat of them.
And, as for every creeping thing that flieth, unclean, it is unto you, —they, shall not be eaten.
20 You shall eat every clean bird.
All clean fowls, ye may eat.
21 You shall eat nothing that dies of itself; it shall be given to the sojourner in your cities and he shall eat it, or you shall sell it to a stranger, because you are a holy people to the Lord your God. You shall not boil a lamb in his mother's milk.
Ye shall not eat any thing that dieth of itself: to the sojourner who is within thy gates, mayest thou give it and he may eat it or thou mayest sell it to a foreigner, for a holy people, art thou unto Yahweh thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid, in the milk of its dam.
22 You shall tithe a tenth of all the produce of your seed, the fruit of your field year by year.
Thou shalt surely tithe, all the increase of thy seed, —which the field bringeth forth year by year.
23 And you shall eat it in the place which the Lord your God shall choose to have his name called there; you shall bring the tithe of your corn and of your wine, and of your oil, the firstborn of your herd and of your flock, that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always.
And thou shalt eat before Yahweh thy God—in the place which he shall choose to make a habitation for his name there, —the tithe of thy corn thy new wine and thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock, —that thou mayest learn to revere Yahweh thy God all the days.
24 And if the journey be too far for you, and you are not able to bring them, because the place [is] far from you which the Lord your God shall choose to have his name called there, because the Lord your God will bless you;
But, when the way becometh too long for thee because thou canst not carry it, because the place is too far for thee which Yahweh thy God shall choose to put his name there, —because Yahweh thy God blesseth thee,
25 then you shall sell them for money, and you shall take the money in your hands, and you shall go to the place which the Lord your God shall choose.
then shalt thou turn it into silver, —and shalt bind up the silver in thy hand, and shalt journey unto the place, which Yahweh thy God shall choose;
26 And you shall give the money for whatever your soul shall desire, for oxen or for sheep, or for wine, or [you shall lay it out] on strong drink, or on whatever your soul may desire, and you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice and your house,
and shalt turn the silver into whatsoever thy soul desireth—of the herd or of the flock, or of wine or of strong drink, or of whatsoever thy soul shall ask thee for, —and shalt eat it there, before Yahweh thy God, and shalt rejoice, thou and thy household,
27 and the Levite that is in your cities, because he has not a portion or inheritance with you.
and, the Levite who is within thy gates, thou shalt not forsake him, —for he hath neither portion nor inheritance with thee.
28 After three years you shall bring out all the tithes of your fruits, in that year you shall lay it up in your cities.
At the end of three years, shalt thou bring forth all the tithe of thine increase in that year, —and shalt lay it up within thy gates;
29 And the Levite shall come, because he has no part or lot with you, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow which is in your cities; and they shall eat and be filled, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works which you shall do.
and the Levite shall come in—because he hath neither portion nor inheritance with thee—and the sojourner and the fatherless and the widow who are within thy gates, and they shall eat and be satisfied, —that Yahweh thy God may bless thee, in all the work of thy hand which thou shalt do.
