Deuteronomy 14:4-29

41These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat, 52the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope and the mountain sheep. 6Any animal that divides the hoof and has the hoof split in 3two and 4chews the cud, among the animals, that you may eat. 7Nevertheless, you are not to eat of these among those which 5chew the cud, or among those that divide the hoof in 6two: the camel and the 7rabbit and the 8shaphan, for though they 9chew the cud, they do not divide the hoof; they are unclean for you. 8The pig, because it divides the hoof but does not chew the cud, it is unclean for you. You shall not eat any of their flesh nor touch their carcasses.

9“These you may eat of all that are in water: anything that has fins and scales you may eat, 10but anything that does not have fins and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean for you.

11“You may eat any clean bird. 12But 10these are the ones which you shall not eat: the 11eagle and the vulture and the 12buzzard, 13and the red kite, the falcon, and the kite in their kinds, 14and every raven in its kind, 15and the ostrich, the owl, the sea gull, and the hawk in their kinds, 16the little owl, the 13great owl, the white owl, 17the pelican, the carrion vulture, the cormorant, 18the stork, and the heron in their kinds, and the hoopoe and the bat. 19And all the 14teeming life with wings are unclean to you; they shall not be eaten. 20You may eat any clean bird.

21“15You shall not eat anything which dies of itself. You may give it to the alien who is in your 16town, so that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner, for you are 17a holy people to the Lord your God. 18You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.

22“You 19shall surely tithe all the produce from 20what you sow, which comes out of the field every year. 23You shall eat in the presence of the Lord your God, 21at the place where He chooses to establish His name, the tithe of your grain, your new wine, your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and your flock, so that you may 22learn to fear the Lord your God always. 24If the 23distance is so great for you that you are not able to 24bring the tithe, since the place where the Lord your God chooses 25to set His name is too far away from you when the Lord your God blesses you, 25then you shall 26exchange it for money, and bind the money in your hand and go to the place which the Lord your God chooses. 26You may spend the money for whatever your 27heart desires: for oxen, or sheep, or wine, or strong drink, or whatever your 28heart 29desires; and 30there you shall eat in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice, you and your household. 27Also you shall not neglect 31the Levite who is in your 32town, 33for he has no portion or inheritance among you.

28“34At the end of every third year you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce in that year, and shall deposit it in your 35town. 29The Levite, 36because he has no portion or inheritance among you, and 37the alien, the 38orphan and the widow who are in your 39town, shall come and 40eat and be satisfied, in order that 41the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.
