Deuteronomy 14:1-15
-
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.
-
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.
-
3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
-
4 These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
-
5 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
9 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:
-
10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.
-
11 Of all clean birds ye shall eat.
-
12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
-
13 And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
-
14 And every raven after his kind,
-
15 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
