Verse
Deuteronomy - ch 14 v 1 - 20
- You are the children of Yahweh your God: you shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
- For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God, and Yahweh has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.
- You shall not eat any abominable thing.
- These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
- the hart, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the ibex, and the antelope, and the chamois.
- Every animal that parts the hoof, and has the hoof cloven in two, and chews the cud, among the animals, that may you eat.
- Nevertheless these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of those who have the hoof cloven: the camel, and the hare, and the rabbit; because they chew the cud but don't part the hoof, they are unclean to you.
- The pig, because it has a split hoof but doesn't chew the cud, is unclean to you: of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch.
- These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales may you eat;
- and whatever doesn't have fins and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean to you.
- Of all clean birds you may eat.
- But these are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle, and the vulture, and the osprey,
- and the red kite, and the falcon, and the kite after its kind,
- and every raven after its kind,
- and the ostrich, and the owl, and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind,
- the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl,
- and the pelican, and the vulture, and the cormorant,
- and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
- All winged creeping things are unclean to you: they shall not be eaten.
- Of all clean birds you may eat.
