Chapter 14
|
1
|
Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall
not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your
eyes for the dead. |
2
|
For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God,
and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people
unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the
earth. |
3
|
Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing. |
4
|
These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the
sheep, and the goat, |
5
|
The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and
the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the
chamois. |
6
|
And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth
the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the
beasts, that ye shall eat. |
7
|
Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew
the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the
camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the
cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean
unto you. |
8
|
And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth
not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat
of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass. |
9
|
These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all
that have fins and scales shall ye eat: |
10
|
And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not
eat; it is unclean unto you. |
11
|
Of all clean birds ye shall eat. |
12
|
But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle,
and the ossifrage, and the ospray, |
13
|
And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after
his kind, |
14
|
And every raven after his kind, |
15
|
And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckoo, and
the hawk after his 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 her kind, and the
lapwing, and the bat. |
19
|
And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto
you: they shall not be eaten. |
20
|
But of all clean fowls ye may eat. |
21
|
Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself:
thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates,
that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien:
for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou
shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk. |
22
|
Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed,
that the field bringeth forth year by year. |
23
|
And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the
place which he shall choose to place his name there,
the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil,
and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that
thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always. |
24
|
And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art
not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from
thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his
name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee: |
25
|
Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the
money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which
the LORD thy God shall choose: |
26
|
And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy
soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine,
or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth:
and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and
thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household, |
27
|
And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt
not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance
with thee. |
28
|
At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all
the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt
lay it up within thy gates: |
29
|
And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance
with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and
the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and
shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may
bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest. |
