1Ye are the children of the Lord your God. Ye shall not cut yourselues, nor make you any baldnesse betweene your eyes for the dead. 2For 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. 3Thou shalt eate no maner of abominatio. 4These [are] the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat, 5The hart, and the roe buck, and the bugle, and the wilde goate, and the vnicorne, & the wilde oxe, and the chamois. 6And euery beast that parteth ye hoofe, and cleaueth the clift into two clawes, and is of the beasts that cheweth the cudde, that shall ye eate. 7But these ye shall not eate, of them that chew the cud, and of them that deuide and cleaue the hoofe onely: ye camell, nor the hare, nor the cony: for they chewe the cudde, but deuide not ye hoofe: therefore they shall be vncleane vnto you: 8Also the swine, because he deuideth the hoofe, and cheweth not the cud, shalbe vncleane vnto you: ye shal not eate of their flesh, nor touch their dead carkeises. 9These ye shall eate, of all that are in the waters: all that haue finnes and scales shall ye eate. 10And whatsoeuer hath no finnes nor scales, ye shall not eate: it shall be vncleane vnto you. 11Of all cleane birdes ye shall eate: 12But these are they, whereof ye shall not eate: the egle, nor the goshawke, nor the osprey, 13Nor the glead nor the kite, nor the vulture, after their kind, 14Nor all kinde of rauens, 15Nor the ostrich, nor the nightcrow, nor the semeaw, nor the hawke after her kinde, 16Neither the litle owle, nor the great owle, nor the redshanke, 17Nor the pellicane, nor the swanne, nor the cormorant: 18The storke also, and the heron in his kinde, nor the lapwing, nor the backe. 19And euery creeping thing that flieth, shall be vncleane vnto you: it shall not be eaten. 20But of all cleane foules ye may eate. 21Ye shall not eat [of] any thing 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. 22Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year. 23And thou shalt eate before the Lorde thy God (in the place which he shall chose to cause his Name to dwell there) the tithe of thy corne, of thy wine, and of thine oyle, and the first borne of thy kine and of thy sheepe, that thou maiest learne to feare the Lord thy God alway. 24And 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: 25Then shalt thou make it in money, and take the money in thine hand, and goe vnto the place which the Lord thy God shall chose. 26And 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, 27And the Leuite that is within thy gates, shalt thou not forsake: for he hath neither part nor inheritance with thee. 28At 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: 29Then ye Leuite shall come, because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee, and the stranger, and the fatherlesse, and the widowe, which are within thy gates, and shall eate, and be filled, that the Lord thy God may blesse thee in al the worke of thine hand which thou doest.
