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 ye [are] to Jehovah your God; ye do not cut yourselves, nor make 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 [art] thou to Jehovah thy God, and on thee hath Jehovah fixed to be to Him for a people, a peculiar treasure, out of all the peoples who [are] on the face of the ground.
3 You shall not eat any abominable thing.
'Thou dost 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;
'this [is] the beast which ye do eat: ox, lamb of the sheep, or kid of the goats,
5 the stag, and doe, and pygarg, and wild goat, and camelopard.
hart, and roe, and fallow deer, and wild goat, and pygarg, and wild ox, and chamois;
6 Every beast that divides the hoofs, and makes claws of two divisions, and that chews the cud among beasts, these you shall eat.
and every beast dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft into two hoofs, bringing up the cud, among the beasts — it ye do 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.
'Only, this ye do not eat, of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the cloven hoof: the camel, and the hare, and the rabbit, for they are bringing up the cud but the hoof have not divided; unclean they [are] 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; you shall not eat of their flesh, you shall not touch their dead bodies.
and the sow, for it is dividing the hoof, and not [bringing] up the cud, unclean it [is] to you; of their flesh ye do not eat, and against their carcase ye do not come.
9 And these you shall eat of all that are in the water, you shall eat all that have fins and scales.
'This ye do eat of all that [are] in the waters; all that hath fins and scales ye do eat;
10 And all that have not fins and scales you shall not eat; they are unclean to you.
and anything which hath not fins and scales ye do not eat; unclean it [is] to you.
11 You shall eat every clean bird.
'Any clean bird ye do eat;
12 And these of them you shall not eat; the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle,
and these [are] they of which ye do not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
13 and the vulture, and the kite and the like to it,
and the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after its kind,
and every raven after its kind;
15 and the sparrow, and the owl, and the cormorant,
and the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckoo, 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 swan,
17 and the cormorant, and the hawk, and its like, and the hoopoe, and the raven,
and the pelican, and the gier-eagle, 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 lapwing, and the bat;
19 All winged animals that creep are unclean to you; you shall not eat of them.
and every teeming thing which is flying, unclean it [is] to you; they are not eaten;
20 You shall eat every clean bird.
any clean fowl ye do 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 do not eat of any carcase; to the sojourner who [is] within thy gates thou dost give it, and he hath eaten it; or sell [it] to a stranger; for a holy people thou [art] to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
22 You shall tithe a tenth of all the produce of your seed, the fruit of your field year by year.
'Thou dost certainly tithe all the increase of thy seed which the field is bringing 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 hast eaten before Jehovah thy God, in the place where He doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle, the tithe of thy corn, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd, and of thy flock, so that thou dost learn to fear Jehovah 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;
'And when the way is too much for thee, that thou art not able to carry it — when the place is too far off from thee which Jehovah thy God doth choose to put His name there, when Jehovah thy God doth bless 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 thou hast given [it] in money, and hast bound up the money in thy hand, and gone unto the place on which Jehovah thy God doth fix;
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 thou hast given the money for any thing which thy soul desireth, for oxen, and for sheep, and for wine, and for strong drink, and for any thing which thy soul asketh, and thou hast eaten there before Jehovah thy God, and thou hast rejoiced, thou and thy house.
27 and the Levite that is in your cities, because he has not a portion or inheritance with you.
As to the Levite who [is] within thy gates, thou dost not forsake him, for he hath no portion and 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 thou dost bring out all the tithe of thine increase in that year, and hast placed [it] 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 come in hath the Levite (for he hath no part and inheritance with thee), and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within thy gates, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, so that Jehovah thy God doth bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou dost.
