DE-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.
DE-14:2 For thou [art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God,
and the LORD
hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all
the nations
that [are] upon the earth.
DE-14:3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
DE-14:4 These [are] the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the
sheep, and the
goat,
DE-14:5 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the
wild goat,
and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
DE-14:6 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the
cleft into
two claws, [and] cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall
eat.
DE-14:7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew
the cud, or of
them that divide the cloven hoof; [as] the camel, and the hare,
and the coney:
for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; [therefore] they
[are] unclean
unto you.
DE-14:8 And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet
cheweth not the cud,
it [is] unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor
touch their
dead carcase.
DE-14:9 These ye shall eat of all that [are] in the waters: all
that have
fins and scales shall ye eat:
DE-14:10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat;
it [is]
unclean unto you.
DE-14:11 [Of] all clean birds ye shall eat.
DE-14:12 But these [are they] of which ye shall not eat: the
eagle, and the
ossifrage, and the osprey,
DE-14:13 And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his
kind,
DE-14:14 And every raven after his kind,
DE-14:15 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckoo, and
the hawk after
his kind,
DE-14:16 The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
DE-14:17 And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,
DE-14:18 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the
lapwing, and
the bat.
DE-14:19 And every creeping thing that flieth [is] unclean unto
you: they
shall not be eaten.
DE-14:20 [But of] all clean fowls ye may eat.
DE-14:21 Ye shall not eat [of] any thing that dieth of itself:
thou shalt
give it unto the stranger that [is] in thy gates, that he may
eat it; or thou
mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou [art] an holy people unto
the LORD thy
God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
DE-14:22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed,
that the field
bringeth forth year by year.
DE-14:23 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the
place which he
shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of
thy wine, and
of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks;
that thou
mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.
DE-14:24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art
not able to
carry it; [or] if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD
thy God shall
choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed
thee:
DE-14:25 Then shalt thou turn [it] into money, and bind up the
money in thine
hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall
choose:
DE-14:26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy
soul lusteth
after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink,
or for
whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before
the LORD thy
God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
DE-14:27 And the Levite that [is] within thy gates; thou shalt
not forsake
him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
DE-14:28 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:
DE-14:29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor
inheritance with thee,)
and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which [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 thine hand which thou doest.
