Deuteronomy 14

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 vnto ye Lord thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a precious people vnto himselfe, aboue all the people that are vpon the earth.

³Thou shalt eate no maner of abomination.

⁴These are the beastes, which ye shall eate, the beefe, the sheepe, and the goate,

⁵The hart, and the roe buck, and the bugle, and the wilde goate, and the vnicorne, and 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 shall 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 eagle, nor the goshawke, nor the osprey,
