== Devarim (Book of Deuteronomy), Chapter 14 ==

<named id="1"/>1 Ye are the children of HaShem your G-d: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.

<named id="2"/>2 For thou art a holy people unto HaShem thy G-d, and HaShem hath chosen thee to be His own treasure out of all peoples that are upon the face of the earth.

<named id="3"/>3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.

<named id="4"/>4 These are the beasts which ye may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,

<named id="5"/>5 the hart, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the antelope, and the mountain-sheep.

<named id="6"/>6 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and hath the hoof wholly cloven in two, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that ye may eat.

<named id="7"/>7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that only chew the cud, or of them that only have the hoof cloven: the camel, and the hare, and the rock-badger, because they chew the cud but part not the hoof, they are unclean unto you;

<named id="8"/>8 and the swine, because he parteth the hoof but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you; of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch.

<named id="9"/>9 These ye may eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales may ye eat;

<named id="10"/>10 and whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye shall not eat; it is unclean unto you.

<named id="11"/>11 Of all clean birds ye may eat.

<named id="12"/>12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the great vulture, and the bearded vulture, and the ospray;

<named id="13"/>13 and the glede, and the falcon, and the kite after its kinds;

<named id="14"/>14 and every raven after its kinds;

<named id="15"/>15 and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-mew, and the hawk after its kinds;

<named id="16"/>16 the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl;

<named id="17"/>17 and the pelican, and the carrion-vulture, and the cormorant;

<named id="18"/>18 and the stork, and the heron after its kinds, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

<named id="19"/>19 And all winged swarming things are unclean unto you; they shall not be eaten.

<named id="20"/>20 Of all clean winged things ye may eat.

<named id="21"/>21 Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself; thou mayest give it unto the stranger that is within thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto a foreigner; for thou art a holy people unto HaShem thy G-d. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother's milk.

<named id="22"/>22 Thou shalt surely tithe all the increase of thy seed, that which is brought forth in the field year by year.

<named id="23"/>23 And thou shalt eat before HaShem thy G-d, in the place which He shall choose to cause His name to dwell there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock; that thou mayest learn to fear HaShem thy G-d always.

<named id="24"/>24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, because the place is too far from thee, which HaShem thy G-d shall choose to set His name there, when HaShem thy G-d shall bless thee;

<named id="25"/>25 then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thy hand, and shalt go unto the place which HaShem thy G-d shall choose.

<named id="26"/>26 And thou shalt bestow the money for whatsoever thy soul desireth, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul asketh of thee; and thou shalt eat there before HaShem thy G-d, and thou shalt rejoice, thou and thy household.

<named id="27"/>27 And the Levite that is within thy gates, thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee.

<named id="28"/>28 At the end of every three years, even in the same year, thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase, and shall lay it up within thy gates.

<named id="29"/>29 And the Levite, because he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that HaShem thy G-d may bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou doest.
