Deuteronomy 14
1 You are the people of YHWH your God: you 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 you are a holy people to YHWH your God, and YHWH has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on 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 You shall not eat any abominable thing.
You shall not eat any abominable thing.
4 These are the animals which you 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 deer, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the ibex, and the antelope, and the chamois.
the stag, and doe, and pygarg, and wild goat, and camelopard.
6 Every animal that parts the hoof, and has the hoof cloven in two and chews the cud, among the animals, that may you 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 you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of those who have the hoof cloven: the camel, and the hare, and the rabbit; because they chew the cud but do not part the hoof, they are unclean to 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 The pig, because it has a split hoof, but doesn't chew the cud, is unclean to you: of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you 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 you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales may you eat;
And these you shall eat of all that are in the water, you shall eat all that have fins and scales.
10 and whatever doesn't have fins and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean to you.
And all that have not fins and scales you shall not eat; they are unclean to you.
11 Of all clean birds you may eat.
You shall eat every clean bird.
12 But these are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle, and the vulture, and the osprey,
And these of them you shall not eat; the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the sea-eagle,
13 and the kite, and the buzzard, and the vulture after its kind,
and the vulture, and the kite and the like to it,
14 and every raven after its kind,
15 and the ostrich, and the owl, and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind,
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 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 kind, 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 All winged crawling creatures are unclean to 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 birds you may eat.
You shall eat every clean bird.
21 You shall not eat of anything that dies of itself: you may give it to the foreigner living among you who is within your gates, that he may eat it; or you may sell it to a foreigner: for you are a holy people to YHWH your God. You shall not boil a young goat 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 You shall surely tithe all the increase of your seed, that which comes forth from 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 You shall eat before YHWH your God, in the place which he shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock; that you may learn to fear YHWH your 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 If the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it, because the place is too far from you, which YHWH your God shall choose, to set his name there, when YHWH your God shall bless you;
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 you shall turn it into money, and bind up the money in your hand, and shall go to the place which YHWH your 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 you shall bestow the money for whatever your soul desires, for cattle, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever your soul asks of you; and you shall eat there before YHWH your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your 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 The Levite who is within your gates, you shall not forsake him; for he has no portion nor inheritance with you.
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 you shall bring forth all the tithe of your increase in the same year, and shall lay it up within your 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 has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the foreigner living among you, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that YHWH your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.
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.
