Deuteronomy 14

3 Ref `Thou dost not eat any abominable thing;

4 Ref `this `is' the beast which ye do eat: ox, lamb of the sheep, or kid of the goats,

5 hart, and roe, and fallow deer, and wild goat, and pygarg, and wild ox, and chamois;

6 Ref and every beast dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft into two hoofs, bringing up the cud, among the beasts -- it ye do eat.

7 Ref `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;

8 Ref 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.

9 Ref `This ye do eat of all that `are' in the waters; all that hath fins and scales ye do eat;

10 and anything which hath not fins and scales ye do not eat; unclean it `is' to you.

11 `Any clean bird ye do eat;

12 Ref and these `are' they of which ye do not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,

13 and the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after its kind,

14 and every raven after its kind;

15 Ref and the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after its kind;

16 the `little' owl, and the `great' owl, and the swan,

17 and the pelican, and the gier-eagle, and the cormorant,

18 and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the lapwing, and the bat;

19 Ref and every teeming thing which is flying, unclean it `is' to you; they are not eaten;

20 any clean fowl ye do eat.

21 Ref `Ye do not eat of any carcase; to the sojourner who `is' within thy gates thou dost give it, and he hath eaten it; or sell `it' to a stranger; for a holy people thou `art' to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
