YE be the children of the Lord your God; Therefore you shall not cut your selves, nor make any shavings between your eyes for the dead. 2 For thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God. And the Lord God hath chosen thee from all people that are upon the face of the earth, to be a peculiar people to himself. 3 Thou shalt not eat any manner of loathsome thing. 4 These are the beasts that ye shall eat of: namely, the Ox, the sheep, and the Goat: 5 The Red deer, the fallow deer, the Bugle, the wild Goat, the Unicorn, the wild Ox, the Chamois, 6 And all manner of beasts that divide the hoof and cleave the hoof into two claws and cheweth the cud also: among the beasts them shall ye eat. 7 But as for these, ye shall not eat: among those that chaw cud or do but only divide their claws, that is to wit, the Camel, the Hare and the Cunnie. For inasmuch as they chew cud and yet divide not the hoof, they shall be unclean to you. 8 Also the Swine, (because he cleaveth the hoof, and yet cheweth not cud,) shall be unclean to you. Ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcasses. 9 These are they that you shall eat of all that are in the waters: namely, whatsoever have fins and scales. 10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales, ye shall not eat thereof, but it shall be unclean to you. 11 Of all clean birds ye shall eat. 12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: namely the Eagle, the Osprey, and the Falcon: 13 The Glede, the Kite, the Vulture after their kind: 14 All manner of Ravens after their kind: 15 The Ostrich, the night crow, the Cuckoo, and the Sparhawk after their kind: 16 The Screech owl, the great Owl, the Swan, 17 The Cormorant, the Pelican, the Dopchicken, 18 The Stork, and the Heronsew in his kind, and the Lapwing, and the Back. 19 And all creeping fowls shall be unclean unto you, and ye shall not eat of them. 20 But of all clean fowls ye may eat.
