Deuteronomy - ch 14 v 1 - 20
- `Sons ye `are' to Jehovah your God; ye do not cut yourselves, nor make baldness between your eyes for the dead;
- for a holy people `art' thou to Jehovah thy God, and on thee hath Jehovah fixed to be to Him for a people, a peculiar treasure, out of all the peoples who `are' on the face of the ground.
- `Thou dost not eat any abominable thing;
- `this `is' the beast which ye do eat: ox, lamb of the sheep, or kid of the goats,
- hart, and roe, and fallow deer, and wild goat, and pygarg, and wild ox, and chamois;
- and every beast dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft into two hoofs, bringing up the cud, among the beasts -- it ye do eat.
- `Only, this ye do not eat, of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the cloven hoof: the camel, and the hare, and the rabbit, for they are bringing up the cud but the hoof have not divided; unclean they `are' to you;
- and the sow, for it is dividing the hoof, and not `bringing' up the cud, unclean it `is' to you; of their flesh ye do not eat, and against their carcase ye do not come.
- `This ye do eat of all that `are' in the waters; all that hath fins and scales ye do eat;
- and anything which hath not fins and scales ye do not eat; unclean it `is' to you.
- `Any clean bird ye do eat;
- and these `are' they of which ye do not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
- and the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after its kind,
- and every raven after its kind;
- and the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after its kind;
- the `little' owl, and the `great' owl, and the swan,
- and the pelican, and the gier-eagle, and the cormorant,
- and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the lapwing, and the bat;
- and every teeming thing which is flying, unclean it `is' to you; they are not eaten;
- any clean fowl ye do eat.
