New King James Version
Deuteronomy 14:4-20
4These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat,
5the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, the mountain goat, the antelope, and the mountain sheep.
6And you may eat every animal with cloven hooves, having the hoof split into two parts, and that chews the cud, among the animals.
7Nevertheless, of those that chew the cud or have cloven hooves, you shall not eat, such as these: the camel, the hare, and the rock hyrax; for they chew the cud but do not have cloven hooves; they are unclean for you.
8Also the swine is unclean for you, because it has cloven hooves, yet does not chew the cud; you shall not eat their flesh or touch their dead carcasses.
9“These you may eat of all that are in the waters: you may eat all that have fins and scales.
10And whatever does not have fins and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean for you.
11“All clean birds you may eat.
12But these you shall not eat: the eagle, the vulture, the buzzard,
13the red kite, the falcon, and the kite after their kinds;
14every raven after its kind;
15the ostrich, the short-eared owl, the sea gull, and the hawk after their kinds;
16the little owl, the screech owl, the white owl,
17the jackdaw, the carrion vulture, the fisher owl,
18the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe and the bat.
19“Also every creeping thing that flies is unclean for you; they shall not be eaten.
20“You may eat all clean birds.
