Book 05 Deuteronomy Chapter 014


014:001	Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
014:002	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.
014:003	Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
014:004	These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
014:005	The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
014:006	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.
014:007	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.
014:008	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 carcase.
014:009	These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:
014:010	And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.
014:011	Of all clean birds ye shall eat.
014:012	But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
014:013	And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
014:014	And every raven after his kind,
014:015	And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
014:016	The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
014:017	And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,
014:018	And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
014:019	And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.
014:020	But of all clean fowls ye may eat.
014:021	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.
014:022	Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.
014:023	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.
014:024	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:
014:025	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:
014:026	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,
014:027	And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
014:028	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:
014:029	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.
