Ye are the ^achildren of the Lord your God: ye shall ^bnot ^ccut yourselves, nor make any baldness ^dbetween your eyes for the dead.

 2 For thou art an ^aholy people unto the Lord thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a ^bpeculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.

 3 Thou shalt not ^aeat any abominable thing.

 4 These are the beasts which ye shall ^aeat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,

 5 The hart, and the ^aroebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.

 6 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and ^acleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat.

 7 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.

 8 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.

 9 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:

 10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.

 11 Of all clean birds ye shall eat.

 12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ^aossifrage, and the ospray,

 13 And the ^aglede, and the kite, and the ^bvulture after his kind,

 14 And every raven after his kind,

 15 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the ^acuckow, and the hawk after his kind,

 16 The little owl, and the great owl, and the ^aswan,

 17 And the pelican, and the ^agier eagle, and the cormorant,

 18 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the ^alapwing, and the bat.

 19 And every ^acreeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.

 20 But of all clean fowls ye may eat.

 21 Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt ^agive it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest ^bsell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not ^cseethe a kid in his mother's milk.

 22 Thou shalt truly ^atithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.

 23 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.

 24 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:
