Deuteronomy 14

¹You are the children of the Lord your God: you are not to make cuts on your bodies or take off the hair on your brows in honour of the dead;

²For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord has taken you to be his special people out of all the nations on the face of the earth.

³No disgusting thing may be your food.

⁴These are the beasts which you may have for food: the ox, the sheep, and the goat;

⁵The hart, the gazelle, and the roe, the mountain goat and the pygarg and the antelope and the mountain sheep.

⁶Any beast which has a division in the horn of its foot and whose food comes back into its mouth to be crushed again, may be used for food.

⁷But even among these, there are some which may not be used for food: such as the camel, the hare, and the coney, which are unclean to you, because, though their food comes back, the horn of their feet is not parted in two.

⁸And the pig is unclean to you, because though it has a division in the horn of its foot, its food does not come back; their flesh may not be used for food or their dead bodies touched by you.

⁹And of the things living in the waters, you may take all those who have wings for swimming with and skins formed of thin plates.

¹⁰But any which have no skin-plates or wings for swimming, you may not take; they are unclean for you.

¹¹All clean birds may be used for food.

¹²But these birds you may not take: the eagle and the gier-eagle and the ospray;
