* Ye are the children of the LORD your God : ye shall not cut yourselves , nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead . * For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God , and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself , above all the nations that are upon the earth . * Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing tow #ebah #. * These are the beasts which ye shall eat : the ox , the sheep seh #, and the goat , * The hart , and the roebuck , and the fallow deer , and the wild goat , and the pygarg , and the wild ox t @#ow #, and the chamois . * And every beast that parteth the hoof , and cleaveth the cleft into two claws , and cheweth the cud among the beasts , that ye shall eat . * Nevertheless these ye 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 unclean unto you . * And the swine , because it divideth the hoof , yet cheweth not the cud , it is unclean unto you : ye shall not eat of their flesh , nor touch their dead carcase . * These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters : all that have fins and scales shall ye eat : * And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat ; it is unclean unto you . * Of all clean birds ye shall eat . * But these are they of which ye shall not eat : the eagle , and the ossifrage , and the ospray , * And the glede ra #ah #, and the kite , and the vulture after his kind , * And every raven after his kind , * And the owl bath # ya #anah #, and the night hawk , and the cuckow , and the hawk after his kind , * The little owl , and the great owl , and the swan , * And the pelican qa #ath #, and the gier eagle , and the cormorant , * And the stork , and the heron after her kind , and the lapwing , and the bat . * And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you : they shall not be eaten . * But of all clean fowls ye may eat . * Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself : thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates sha #ar #, that he may eat it ; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien : for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God . Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mothers milk . * Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed , that the field bringeth forth year by year . * And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God , in the place which he shall choose to place his name there , the tithe of thy corn , of thy wine , and of thine oil , and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks tso #n #; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always . * 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 the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there , when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee : * Then shalt thou turn it into money , and bind up the money in thine hand , and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose : * And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after , for oxen , or for sheep tso #n #, or for wine , or for strong drink , or for whatsoever thy soul desireth : and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God , and thou shalt rejoice , thou , and thine household , * And the Levite that is within thy gates sha #ar #; thou shalt not forsake him ; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee . * 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 sha #ar #: * And the Levite , (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee ,) and the stranger , and the fatherless , and the widow , which are within thy gates sha #ar #, shall come , and shall eat and be satisfied ; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest .
