Deuteronomy 14

1 Ye are sons of Jehovah your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for a dead person.

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 thou art a holy people unto Jehovah thy God, and thee hath Jehovah chosen for a people of possession unto himself, out of all the peoples that are upon 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 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.

Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.

4 These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat;

These, are the beasts which ye may eat, —the ox, the young of sheep, and the young of goats;

5 the hart, and the gazelle, and the stag, and the wild goat, and the dishon and the oryx, and the wild sheep.

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 And every beast that hath cloven hoofs, and the feet quite split open into double hoofs, [and] which cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that ye 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 Only these ye shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those with hoofs cloven and split open: the camel, and the hare, and the rock-badger; for they chew the cud, but have not cloven hoofs — they shall be unclean unto 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 the swine, for it hath cloven hoofs, yet cheweth not the cud — it shall be unclean unto you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch.

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 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales shall ye eat;

These, may ye eat of all that that are in the waters, —whatsoever hath fins and scales, ye may eat;

10 but whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye shall not eat: it shall be unclean unto you.

and, whatsoever hath not, fins and scales, ye may not eat, —unclean, it is unto you.

11 All clean birds shall ye eat.

Of every clean bird, ye may eat;

12 But these are they of which ye 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 falcon, and the kite, and the black kite after its kind;

and the vulture and the kite, and the falcon after its kind;

14 and every raven after its kind;

and every raven after its kind;

15 and the female ostrich, and the male ostrich, and the sea-gull, and the hawk after its kind;

and the female ostrich, and the male ostrich and the sea-gull, —and the hawk, after its kind;

16 the owl, and the ibis and the swan,

and the pelican and the bittern, and the swan;

17 and the pelican, and the carrion vulture, and the gannet,

and the vomiting pelican and the little vulture and the gannet;

18 and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

and the stork, and the parrot, after its kind, —and the mountain-cock, and the bat.

19 And every winged crawling thing shall be unclean unto you; they shall not be eaten.

And, as for every creeping thing that flieth, unclean, it is unto you, —they, shall not be eaten.

20 All clean fowls shall ye eat.

All clean fowls, ye may eat.

21 Ye shall eat of no carcase; thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is within thy gates, that he may eat it, or sell it unto a foreigner; for thou art a holy people to Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in its 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 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, the produce of the field, year by year.

Thou shalt surely tithe, all the increase of thy seed, —which the field bringeth forth year by year.

23 And thou shalt eat before Jehovah thy God, in the place which he will choose to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear Jehovah thy God continually.

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 way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, because the place is too far from thee, which Jehovah thy God will choose to set his name there, when Jehovah thy God blesseth thee;

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 shalt thou give it for money, and bind the money together in thy hand, and go to the place which Jehovah thy God will 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 thou shalt give the money for whatever thy soul desireth, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever thy soul asketh of thee; and thou shalt eat there before Jehovah thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thy 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 thou shalt not forsake the Levite that is within thy gates; for he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee.

and, the Levite who is within thy gates, thou shalt not forsake him, —for he hath neither portion nor inheritance with thee.

28 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates;

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 — for he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee — and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou doest.

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.
