Deuteronomy 14:3-20
3 “ aYou shall not eat any detestable thing. 4 bThese are the animals that you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat, 5 ▼▼Exact identification of these animals is uncertain
the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the mountain sheep. 6And any animal that has a divided hoof and has its hoofs split in two, and ▼▼Lit brings up
chews the cud, among the animals, ▼▼Lit it
that animal you may eat. 7However, you are not to eat these among the ones that ▼▼Lit bring up
chew the cud, or among those that have the hoof divided in ▼▼Lit a cleaving
two: the camel, the ▼▼Or hare
rabbit, and the rock hyrax, for though they ▼▼Lit bring up
chew the cud, they do not have a divided hoof; they are unclean to you. 8And the pig, because it has a divided hoof but does not chew the cud, it is unclean for you. You shall not eat any of their flesh, nor touch their carcasses. 9 “These you may eat of everything that is in the water: anything that has fins and scales you may eat, 10but anything that does not have fins and scales, you shall not eat; it is unclean for you. 11 “You may eat any clean bird. 12But jthese are the ones that you shall not eat: the ▼▼Or vulture
eagle and the vulture and the ▼▼Or black vulture
buzzard, 13and the red kite, the falcon, and the kite in their kinds, 14and every raven in its kind, 15and the ostrich, the owl, the seagull, and the hawk in their kinds, 16the little owl, the ▼▼Or great horned owl
great owl, the white owl, 17the pelican, the carrion vulture, the cormorant, 18the stork, and the heron in their kinds, and the hoopoe and the bat. 19And all the swarming insects with wings are unclean to you; they shall not be eaten. 20You may eat any clean bird.
