2
And these are the beasts which thou shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
3
The deer, and the gazelle, and the roe deer, and the aqqo, and the antelope, and the wild ox, and the wild goat;
4
And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that thou shall eat.
5
Nevertheless, these thou shall not eat: of them that chew the cud or of them that divide the cloven hoof, as the camel, and the hare, and the coney; for they chew the cud but divide not the hoof; therefore, they are uncleana unto thee.
6
And the swine, because it divideth the hoof yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you; thou shall not eat of their flesh nor touch their dead carcass.
7
¶ These thou shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales thou shall eat; and whatsoever hath not fins and scales thou may not eat; it is unclean unto thee.
8
Of all clean birds thou shall eat, but these are they of which thou shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
9
And the glede, and the vulture, and the bird of prey; and every raven after his kind, and the bath, the tachmas, and the gull, and any kind of hawk, and the kowca, and the yanshuph, and the tinshemeth,
10
And the stork, and the heron, and the dukiphath, and the bat; but of all clean fowls thou may eat.
11
And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto thee; they shall not be eaten.
12
¶ Thou shall not eat of anything that dieth on its own; thou shalt not give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that they may eat it; nor may thou sell it unto a foreigner.
13
And all this thou shall do to abate the sickness that should come should thou eateth that which is unclean;
14
For as I commanded thee: thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thou should desire; the unclean and the clean, thou shall eat of them alike;
15
But of the unclean, these thou shall not bring into the place YHVH shall choose to place His name, nor shall thou give of it unto YHVH as a sacrifice.
16
¶ Thou shalt not sacrifice unto YHVH, thy Elohim, any bullock or sheep wherein there is blemish or any that is mangled; for that is detestable unto YHVH, thy Elohim.
17
And because thou art a holy people unto YHVH, thy Elohim, thou shalt not eat of the blood, nor shall thou cook a kid in the milk of its mother.
18
¶ Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year,
19
And thou shalt eat before YHVH, thy Elohim, in the place which He shall choose to place His name there,
20
The tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks, that thou mayest learn to revere YHVH, thy Elohim, always.
21
And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, or if the place be too far from thee which YHVH, thy Elohim, shall choose to set His name there when YHVH, thy Elohim, hath blessed thee,
22
Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which YHVH, thy Elohim, shall choose;
23
And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul should desire, be it oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth;
24
And thou shalt eat it as a feast before YHVH, thy Elohim, and thou shalt rejoice, thee and thine household,
25
¶ And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake them, for they hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
26
At the end of three years, thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year and shalt lay it up within thy gates;
27
And the Levite, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow which are within thy gates shall come, and shall eat, and be satisfied,
28
That YHVH, thy Elohim, may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.
29
¶ All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto YHVH, thy Elohim; thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.
30
Thou shalt eat it before YHVH, thy Elohim, year by year in the place which YHVH shall choose, thou and thy household.
31
And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto YHVH, thy Elohim.
32
And thou shalt eat it within thy gates; the unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as if it were a gazelle or deer.
33
Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water.
