Ye are the children of the LORD
your God
: ye shall not cut
yourselves, nor make
any baldness
between your eyes
for the dead
.
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
.
Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing
.
These are the beasts which ye shall eat
: the ox
, the sheep
, and the goat
,
The hart, and the roebuck
, and the fallow deer
, and the wild goat
, and the pygarg
, and the wild ox
, and the chamois
.
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
.
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.
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
.
These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters
: all that have fins
and scales
shall ye eat
:
And whatsoever hath not fins and scales
ye may not eat
; it is unclean
unto you.
Of all clean birds
ye shall eat
.
But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle
, and the ossifrage
, and the ospray
,
And the glede, and the kite
, and the vulture
after his kind
,
And every raven after his kind
,
And the owl, and the night hawk
, and the cuckow
, and the hawk
after his kind
,
The little owl, and the great owl
, and the swan
,
And the pelican, and the gier eagle
, and the cormorant
,
And the stork, and the heron
after her kind
, and the lapwing
, and the bat
.
And every creeping thing that flieth
is unclean
unto you: they shall not be eaten
.
But of all clean fowls
ye may eat
.
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
.
Thou shalt truly tithe
all the increase
of thy seed
, that the field
bringeth forth
year
by year
.
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
.
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:
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
:
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
,
And the Levite that is within thy gates
; thou shalt not forsake
him; for he hath no part
nor inheritance
with thee.
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
:
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
.
