Deuteronomy 14
1 Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
You are the children of the Lord your God: you shall not make any baldness between you eyes for the dead.
2 For thou art a holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be His own treasure out of all peoples that are upon the face of the earth.
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.
3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
You shall not eat any abominable thing.
4 These are the beasts which ye may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
These [are] the beasts which you shall eat; the calf of the herd, and lamb of the sheep, and kid of the goats;
5 the hart, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the antelope, and the mountain-sheep.
the stag, and doe, and pygarg, and wild goat, and camelopard.
6 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and hath the hoof wholly cloven in two, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that ye may eat.
Every beast that divides the hoofs, and makes claws of two divisions, and that chews the cud amongst beasts, these you shall eat.
7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that only chew the cud, or of them that only have the hoof cloven: the camel, and the hare, and the rock-badger, because they chew the cud but part not the hoof, they are unclean unto you;
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.
8 and the swine, because he parteth the hoof but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you; of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch.
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.
9 These ye may eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales may ye eat;
And these you shall eat of all that are in the water, you shall eat all that have fins and scales.
10 and whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye shall not eat; it is unclean unto you.
And all that have not fins and scales you shall not eat; they are unclean to you.
11 Of all clean birds ye may eat.
You shall eat every clean bird.
12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the great vulture, and the bearded vulture, and the ospray;
And these of them you shall not eat; the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle,
13 and the glede, and the falcon, and the kite after its kinds;
and the vulture, and the kite and the like to it,
14 and every raven after its kinds;
15 and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-mew, and the hawk after its kinds;
and the sparrow, and the owl, and the cormorant,
16 the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl;
and the heron, and the swan, and the stork,
17 and the pelican, and the carrion-vulture, and the cormorant;
and the cormorant, and the hawk, and its like, and the hoopoe, and the raven,
18 and the stork, and the heron after its kinds, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
and the pelican, and the diver and the like to it, and the red-bill and the bat.
19 And all winged swarming things are unclean unto you; they shall not be eaten.
All winged animals that creep are unclean to you; you shall not eat of them.
20 Of all clean winged things ye may eat.
You shall eat every clean bird.
21 Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself; thou mayest give it unto the stranger that is within thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto a foreigner; for thou art a holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother's milk.
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.
22 Thou shalt surely tithe all the increase of thy seed, that which is brought forth in the field year by year.
You shall tithe a tenth of all the produce of your seed, the fruit of your field year by year.
23 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which He shall choose to cause His name to dwell there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.
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.
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 the LORD thy God shall choose to set His name there, when the LORD thy God shall bless thee;
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;
25 then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thy hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose.
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.
26 And thou shalt bestow the money for whatsoever thy soul desireth, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul asketh of thee; and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou and thy household.
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,
27 And the Levite that is within thy gates, thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee.
and the Levite that is in your cities, because he has not a portion or inheritance with you.
28 At the end of every three years, even in the same year, thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase, and shall lay it up within thy gates.
After three years you shall bring out all the tithes of your fruits, in that year you shall lay it up in your cities.
29 And the Levite, because 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 the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou doest.
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.
