14YOU ARE the sons of the Lord your God; you shall not cut yourselves or make any baldness on your foreheads for the dead,H1121H3068H430H1413H7760H7144H5869H4191 2For you are a holy people [set apart] to the Lord your God; and the Lord has chosen you to be a peculiar people to Himself, above all the nations on the earth.H6918H5971H3068H430H3068H977H5459H5971H5971H6440H127 3You shall not eat anything that is abominable [to the Lord and so forbidden by Him].H398H8441 4These are the beasts which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,H929H398H7794H7716H3775H5795 5The hart, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the mountain sheep.H354H6643H3180H689H1788H8377H2169 6And every beast that parts the hoof and has it divided into two and brings up {and} chews the cud among the beasts you may eat.H929H6536H6541H8157H8156H8147H6541H5927H1625H929H398 7Yet these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud or have the hoof split in two: the camel, the hare, and the coney, because they chew the cud but divide not the hoof; they are unclean for you.H398H5927H1625H6536H8156H6541H1581H768H8227H5927H1625H6536H6541H2931 8And the swine, because it parts the hoof but does not chew the cud; it is unclean to you. You shall not eat of their flesh or touch their dead bodies.H2386H6536H6541H1625H2931H398H1320H5060H5038 9These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales you may eat,H398H4325H5579H7193H398 10And whatever has not fins and scales you may not eat; it is unclean for you.H5579H7193H398H2931 11Of all clean birds you may eat.H2889H6833H398 12But these are the ones which you shall not eat: the eagle, the vulture, the ospray,H398H5404H6538H5822 13The buzzard, the kite in its several species,H7201H344H1772H4327 14The raven in all its species,H6158H4327 15The ostrich, the nighthawk, the sea gull, the hawk of any variety,H1323H3284H8464H7828H5322H4327 16The little owl, the great owl, the horned owl,H3563H3244H8580 17The pelican, the carrion vulture, the cormorant,H6893H7360H7994 18The stork, the heron of any variety, the hoopoe, and the bat.H2624H601H4327H1744H5847 19And all flying insects are unclean for you; they shall not be eaten.H8318H5775H2931H398 20But of all clean winged things you may eat.H2889H5775H398 21You shall not eat of anything that dies of itself. You may give it to the stranger {or} the foreigner who is within your towns, that he may eat it, or you may sell it to an alien. [They are not under God's law in this matter] but you are a people holy to the Lord your God. You shall not [even] boil a kid in its mother's milk.H398H5038H5414H1616H8179H398H4376H5237H6918H5971H3068H430H1310H1423H517H2461 22You shall surely tithe all the yield of your seed produced by your field each year.H6237H6237H8393H2233H7704H3318H8141H8141 23And you shall eat before the Lord your God in the place in which He will cause His Name [and Presence] to dwell the tithe (tenth) of your grain, your new wine, your oil, and the firstlings of your herd and your flock, that you may learn [reverently] to fear the Lord your God always.H398H6440H3068H430H4725H977H7931H8034H4643H1715H8492H3323H1062H1241H6629H3925H3372H3068H430H3117 24And if the distance is too long for you to carry your tithe, or the place where the Lord your God chooses to set His Name [and Presence] is too far away for you, when the Lord your God has blessed you,H1870H7235H3588H3201H5375H4725H7368H3068H430H977H7760H8034H3068H430H1288 25Then you shall turn it into money, and bind up the money in your hand, and shall go to the place [of worship] which the Lord your God has chosen.H5414H3701H6696H3701H3027H1980H4725H3068H430H977 26And you may spend that money for whatever your appetite craves, for oxen, or sheep, or new wine or strong[er] drink, or whatever you desire; and you shall eat there before the Lord your God and you shall rejoice, you and your household.H5414H3701H5315H183H1241H6629H3196H7941H5315H7592H398H6440H3068H430H8055H1004 27And you shall not forsake {or} neglect the Levite [God's minister] in your towns, for he has been given no share or inheritance with you.H3881H8179H5800H2506H5159 28At the end of every three years you shall bring forth all the tithe of your increase the same year and lay it up within your towns.H7097H7969H8141H3318H4643H8393H8141H3240H8179 29And the Levite [because he has no part or inheritance with you] and the stranger {or} temporary resident, and the fatherless and the widow who are in your towns shall come and eat and be satisfied, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands that you do.H3881H2506H5159H1616H3490H490H8179H935H398H7646H3068H430H1288H4639H3027H6213
