King James Version

1 You are children of the LORD your God; you shall not cut yourselves nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead. 2 For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be His treasured people above all the peoples that are on the face of the earth. 3 You shall not eat any abomination. 4 This is the animal that you may eat: an ox, a sheep, and goats. 5 A stag and a deer and a wild goat and an antelope and a deer and a gazelle. 6 And every animal that parts the hoof and has a cleft hoof, you may eat it. 7 But these you shall not eat: of those that chew the cud or have split hooves, the camel, the hare, and the rabbit; because they chew the cud but do not have split hooves; they are unclean for you. 8 And the swine, because it has divided hooves and does not chew the cud, is unclean to you; you shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses. 9 You shall eat this; from all that is in the waters, whatever has fins and scales, you may eat. 10 And all that does not have fins and scales, you shall not eat; it is unclean for you. 11 You may eat any clean bird. 12 And this is what you shall not eat from them: the eagle, and the vulture, and the osprey. 13 And she saw the eagle and the hawk after its kind. 14 And with all the raven according to its kind. 15 And the daughter of the ostrich and the nighthawk and the seagull and the kite after its kind. 16 The cup, the owl, and the dragonfly. 17 And the cup and the mercy and the sending. 18 And the stork and the heron after its kind and the hoopoe and the bat. 19 And all that swarms in the air is unclean for you; you shall not eat it. 20 You shall eat every clean bird. 21 You shall not eat any carcass; you shall give it to the foreigner who is within your gates, and he shall eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner; for you are a holy people to the Lord your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk. 22 You shall surely tithe all the produce of your seed that comes out of the field year by year. 23 And you shall eat before the Lord your God in the place that He will choose to make His name dwell there, the tithe of your grain, your wine, and your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and your flock, so that you may learn to fear the Lord your God all the days. 24 And if your way becomes too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it because the place that the Lord your God will choose to set His name there is too far from you, then the Lord your God will bless you. 25 And you shall put it in the money and you shall bind the money in your hand and you shall go to the place which the Lord your God shall choose. 26 And you shall put the money into whatever your soul desires, in cattle and in sheep and in wine and in strong drink and in whatever your soul asks of you, and you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household. 27 And the Levite who is within your gates, you shall not forsake him, for he has no portion and inheritance with you. 28 At the end of three years, you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce in that year and put it in your gates. 29 And the Levite shall come because he has no portion and inheritance with you, and the stranger and the orphan and the widow who are in your gates shall eat and be satisfied, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands that you do.
