14:001

Ye are the children of HaShem your G-d: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead

14:002

For thou art a holy people unto HaShem thy G-d, and HaShem hath chosen thee to be His own treasure out of all peoples that are upon the face of the earth

14:003

Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing

14:004

These are the beasts which ye may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat

14:005

the hart, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the antelope, and the mountain-sheep

14:006

And every beast that parteth the hoof, and hath the hoof wholly cloven in two, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that ye may eat

14:007

Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that only chew the cud, or of them that only have the hoof cloven: the camel, and the hare, and the rock-badger, because they chew the cud but part not the hoof, they are unclean unto you

14:008

and the swine, because he parteth the hoof but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you; of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch

14:009

These ye may eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales may ye eat

14:010

and whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye shall not eat; it is unclean unto you

14:011

Of all clean birds ye may eat

14:012

But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the great vulture, and the bearded vulture, and the ospray

14:013

and the glede, and the falcon, and the kite after its kinds

14:014

and every raven after its kinds

14:015

and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-mew, and the hawk after its kinds

14:016

the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl

14:017

and the pelican, and the carrion-vulture, and the cormorant

14:018

and the stork, and the heron after its kinds, and the hoopoe, and the bat

14:019

And all winged swarming things are unclean unto you; they shall not be eaten

14:020

Of all clean winged things ye may eat

14:021

Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself; thou mayest give it unto the stranger that is within thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto a foreigner; for thou art a holy people unto HaShem thy G-d. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother's milk

14:022

Thou shalt surely tithe all the increase of thy seed, that which is brought forth in the field year by year

14:023

And thou shalt eat before HaShem thy G-d, in the place which He shall choose to cause His name to dwell there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock; that thou mayest learn to fear HaShem thy G-d always

14:024

And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, because the place is too far from thee, which HaShem thy G-d shall choose to set His name there, when HaShem thy G-d shall bless thee

14:025

then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thy hand, and shalt go unto the place which HaShem thy G-d shall choose

14:026

And thou shalt bestow the money for whatsoever thy soul desireth, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul asketh of thee; and thou shalt eat there before HaShem thy G-d, and thou shalt rejoice, thou and thy household

14:027

And the Levite that is within thy gates, thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee

14:028

At the end of every three years, even in the same year, thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase, and shall lay it up within thy gates

14:029

And the Levite, because he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that HaShem thy G-d may bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou doest
