Deuteronomy 14

CHAPTER 14 Clean and Unclean Animals

1 You are sons of the lord your God. You shall not make baldness between your eyes for the dead. 2 For [³people ²a holy ¹you are] to the lord your God, and [³chose you ¹the lord ²your God] to become [³people ¹his ²prized] of all the nations of the ones upon the face of the earth. 3 You shall not eat any abomination. 4 These are the cattle which you shall eat -- the calf of the oxen, and a lamb of the sheep, and a young he-goat of the goats, 5 the stag, and doe, and roebuck, and antelope, and white-tailed hart, and gazelle, and cameleopard. 6 Every beast cloven hoof, and cloven-footed to claw with two claws, and embarks chewing the cud among the cattle, these you shall eat. 7 And these you shall not eat -- from of the ones embarking chewing the cud, and of the ones being cloven of the hoofs, and clawing cloven-footed -- the camel, and hare, and hyrax -- for they embark chewing the cud, but the hoof is not cloven, these are unclean to you. 8 And the pig, for [²is cloven ³of hoof ¹this one], and claws cloven-footed of hoof, but this one as far as chewing the cud does not chew the cud -- this one is unclean to you; from their meats you shall not eat, and of their decaying flesh you shall not touch. 9 And these you shall eat from all the ones in the waters -- all as much as there are [⁴on ⁵them ¹fins ²and ³scales] you shall eat. 10 And all as much as there is not [⁴to them ¹fins ²and ³scales] you shall not eat; [³unclean ¹these ²shall be] to you. 11 [²every ⁴fowl ³clean ¹You shall eat]. 12 And these you shall not eat of them -- the eagle, and the griffin, and the osprey, 13 and the vulture, and the kite, and the ones likened to it, 14 and every crow and the ones likened to it, 15 and the ostrich, and owl, and gull, 16 and heron, and swan, and ibis, 17 and cormorant, and hawk, and the ones likened to it, and hoopoe, and long-eared owl, 18 and pelican, and curlew, and the ones likened to it, and the purple-legged stork, and bat. 19 All the crawling things of the winged creatures -- [³unclean ¹these ²are] to you, you shall not eat from them. 20 Every winged creature being clean you shall eat. 21 Any decaying flesh you shall not eat. To the foreigner in your cities it shall be given, and he shall eat it; or you shall render it to the alien. For [³people ²a holy ¹you are] to the lord your God. You shall not boil a lamb in the milk of his mother. 22 A tenth you shall tithe of all [²produce ³of seed ¹your], the produce of your field year by year. 23 And you shall eat it before the lord your God in the place in which ever [³should choose ¹the lord ²your God] [²to be called upon ¹his name] there. You shall bring the tithes of your grain, and of your wine, and of your olive oil, and the first-born of your oxen, and of your sheep, that you should learn to fear the lord your God all the days. 24 And if [⁴far ³should be ¹the ²journey] from you, and you should not be able to offer them, because [³is far ⁴from ⁵you ¹the ²place] which ever [³should choose ¹the lord ²your God] [²to be called upon ¹his name] there, that [³shall bless ⁴you ¹the lord ²your God]; 25 then you shall render for them of silver, and you shall take the silver in your hands, and you shall go to the place which ever [³should choose ¹the lord ²your God] it. 26 And you shall give the silver for all, of what ever [²should desire ¹your soul], for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for liquor, or for any thing of which ever [²should desire ¹your soul]. And you shall eat there before the lord your God. And you shall be glad, you and your house. 27 And the Levite in your cities -- you shall not abandon him, for there is not to him a portion nor a lot with you. 28 After three years you shall bring forth every tenth of your produce; in that year you shall place it in your cities. 29 And [³shall come ¹the ²Levite], for there is no portion for him nor lot with you, and the foreigner, and the orphan, and the widow in your cities, and they shall eat and shall be filled; that [³should bless ⁴you ¹the lord ²your God] in all the works of your hands, in whichever ones you should do.
