Deuteronomy 14

1 'Sons ye [are] to Jehovah your God; ye do not cut yourselves, nor make baldness between your eyes for the dead;

Ye are the children of the Lord your God. Ye shall not cut yourselues, nor make you any baldnesse betweene your eyes for the dead.

2 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.

For thou art an holy people vnto ye Lord thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a precious people vnto himselfe, aboue all the people that are vpon the earth.

3 'Thou dost not eat any abominable thing;

Thou shalt eate no maner of abomination.

4 'this [is] the beast which ye do eat: ox, lamb of the sheep, or kid of the goats,

These are the beastes, which ye shall eate, the beefe, the sheepe, and the goate,

5 hart, and roe, and fallow deer, and wild goat, and pygarg, and wild ox, and chamois;

The hart, and the roe buck, and the bugle, and the wilde goate, and the vnicorne, and the wilde oxe, and the chamois.

6 and every beast dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft into two hoofs, bringing up the cud, among the beasts — it ye do eat.

And euery beast that parteth ye hoofe, and cleaueth the clift into two clawes, and is of the beasts that cheweth the cudde, that shall ye eate.

7 '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;

But these ye shall not eate, of them that chew the cud, and of them that deuide and cleaue the hoofe onely: ye camell, nor the hare, nor the cony: for they chewe the cudde, but deuide not ye hoofe: therefore they shall be vncleane vnto you:

8 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.

Also the swine, because he deuideth the hoofe, and cheweth not the cud, shalbe vncleane vnto you: ye shall not eate of their flesh, nor touch their dead carkeises.

9 'This ye do eat of all that [are] in the waters; all that hath fins and scales ye do eat;

These ye shall eate, of all that are in the waters: all that haue finnes and scales shall ye eate.

10 and anything which hath not fins and scales ye do not eat; unclean it [is] to you.

And whatsoeuer hath no finnes nor scales, ye shall not eate: it shall be vncleane vnto you.

11 'Any clean bird ye do eat;

Of all cleane birdes ye shall eate:

12 and these [are] they of which ye do not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,

But these are they, whereof ye shall not eate: the eagle, nor the goshawke, nor the osprey,

13 and the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after its kind,

Nor the glead nor the kite, nor the vulture, after their kind,

14 and every raven after its kind;

Nor all kinde of rauens,

15 and the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after its kind;

Nor the ostrich, nor the nightcrow, nor the semeaw, nor the hawke after her kinde,

16 the [little] owl, and the [great] owl, and the swan,

Neither the litle owle, nor the great owle, nor the redshanke,

17 and the pelican, and the gier-eagle, and the cormorant,

Nor the pellicane, nor the swanne, nor the cormorant:

18 and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the lapwing, and the bat;

The storke also, and the heron in his kinde, nor the lapwing, nor the backe.

19 and every teeming thing which is flying, unclean it [is] to you; they are not eaten;

And euery creeping thing that flieth, shall be vncleane vnto you: it shall not be eaten.

20 any clean fowl ye do eat.

But of all cleane foules ye may eate.

21 '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.

Ye shall eate of nothing that dieth alone, but thou shalt giue it vnto the stranger that is within thy gates, that he may eate it: or thou maiest sell it vnto a stranger: for thou art an holy people vnto the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mothers milke.

22 'Thou dost certainly tithe all the increase of thy seed which the field is bringing forth year by year;

Thou shalt giue the tithe of all the increase of thy seede, that commeth foorth of the fielde yeere by yeere.

23 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.

And thou shalt eate before the Lord thy God (in the place which he shall chose to cause his Name to dwell there) the tithe of thy corne, of thy wine, and of thine oyle, and the first borne of thy kine and of thy sheepe, that thou maiest learne to feare the Lord thy God alway.

24 '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; —

And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to cary it, because the place is farre from thee, where the Lord thy God shall chose to set his Name, when the Lord thy God shall blesse thee,

25 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;

Then shalt thou make it in money, and take the money in thine hand, and goe vnto the place which the Lord thy God shall chose.

26 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.

And thou shalt bestowe the money for whatsoeuer thine heart desireth: whether it be oxe, or sheepe, or wine, or strong drinke, or whatsoeuer thine heart desireth: and shalt eate it there before the Lord thy God, and reioyce, both thou, and thine household.

27 As to the Levite who [is] within thy gates, thou dost not forsake him, for he hath no portion and inheritance with thee.

And the Leuite that is within thy gates, shalt thou not forsake: for he hath neither part nor inheritance with thee.

28 '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;

At the end of three yeere thou shalt bring foorth all the tithes of thine increase of the same yeere, and lay it vp within thy gates.

29 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.

Then ye Leuite shall come, because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee, and the stranger, and the fatherlesse, and the widowe, which are within thy gates, and shall eate, and be filled, that the Lord thy God may blesse thee in al the worke of thine hand which thou doest.
