Verse
Deuteronomy - ch 14 v 1 - 20
- Be ye children of the Lord your God: you shall not cut yourselves, no, make any baldness for the dead;
- Because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God: and he chose thee to be his peculiar people of all nations that are upon the earth.
- Eat not the things that are unclean.
- These are the beasts that you shall eat, the ox, and the sheep, and the goat,
- The hart and the roe, the buffle, the chamois, the pygarg, the wild goat, the camelopardalus.
- Every beast that divideth the hoof in two parts, and cheweth the cud, you shall eat.
- But of them that chew the cud, but divide not the hoof, you shall not eat, such as the camel, the hare, and the cherogril: because they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof, they shall be unclean to you.
- The swine also, because it divideth the hoof, but cheweth not the cud, shall be unclean, their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch.
- These shall you eat of all that abide in the waters: All that have fins and scales, you shall eat.
- Such as are without fins and scales, you shall not eat, because they are unclean.
- All birds that are clean you shall eat.
- The unclean eat not: to wit, the eagle, and the grype, and the osprey,
- The ringtail, and the vulture, and the kite according to their kind:
- And all of the raven's kind:
- And the ostrich, and the owl, and the larus, and the hawk according to its kind:
- The heron, and the swan, and the stork,
- And the cormorant, the porphirion, and the night crow,
- The bittern, and the charadrion, every one in their kind: the hoop also and the bat.
- Every thing that creepeth, and hath little wings, shall be unclean, and shall not be eaten.
- All that is clean, you shall eat.
