05:014:002 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.
05:014:003 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
05:014:004 These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep,
and the goat,
05:014:005 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild
goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
05:014:006 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.
05:014:007 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.
05:014:008 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.
05:014:009 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that
have fins and scales shall ye eat:
05:014:010 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it
is unclean unto you.
05:014:011 Of all clean birds ye shall eat.
05:014:012 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and
the ossifrage, and the ospray,
05:014:013 And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
05:014:014 And every raven after his kind,
05:014:015 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the
hawk after his kind,
05:014:016 The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
05:014:017 And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,
05:014:018 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the
lapwing, and the bat.
05:014:019 And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you:
they shall not be eaten.
05:014:020 But of all clean fowls ye may eat.
05:014:021 Ye shall not eat of anything 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.
05:014:022 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that
the field bringeth forth year by year.
05:014:023 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.
05:014:024 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:
05:014:025 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:
