14:1 Ye are the children of the Lord your
God: ye shall not make any baldness between you eyes for the dead.
14:2 For thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God, and the Lord thy God
has chosen thee to be a peculiar people to himself of all the nations on the
face of the earth.
14:3 Ye shall not eat any abominable thing.
14:4 These [are] the beasts which ye shall eat; the calf of the herd, and
lamb of the sheep, and kid of the goats;
14:5 the stag, and doe, and pygarg, and wild goat, and camelopard.
14:6 Every beast that divides the hoofs, and makes claws of two divisions,
and that chews the cud among beasts, these ye shall eat.
14:7 And these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, and of those that
divide the hoofs, and make distinct claws; the camel, and the hare, and the
rabbit; because they chew the cud, and do not divide the hoof, these are
unclean to you.
14:8 And as for the swine, because he divides the hoof, and makes claws of
the hoof, yet he chews not the cud, he is unclean to you; ye shall not eat
of their flesh, ye shall not touch their dead bodies.
14:9 And these ye shall eat of all that are in the water, ye shall eat all
that have fins and scales.
14:10 And all that have not fins and scales ye shall not eat; they are
unclean to you.
14:11 Ye shall eat every clean bird.
14:12 And these of them ye shall not eat; the eagle, and the ossifrage, and
the sea-eagle,
14:13 and the vulture, and the kite and the like to it,
14:14
14:15 and the sparrow, and the owl, and the seamew,
14:16 and the heron, and the swan, and the stork,
14:17 and the cormorant, and the hawk, and its like, and the hoopoe, and the
raven,
14:18 and the pelican, and the diver and the like to it, and the red-bill
and the bat.
14:19 All winged animals that creep are unclean to you; ye shall not eat of
them.
14:20 Ye shall eat every clean bird.
14:21 Ye shall eat nothing that dies of itself; it shall be given to the
sojourner in thy cities and he shall eat it, or thou shalt sell it to a
stranger, because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not
boil a lamb in his mother's milk.
14:22 Thou shalt tithe a tenth of all the produce of thy seed, the fruit of
thy field year by year.
14:23 And thou shalt eat it in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose
to have his name called there; ye shall bring the tithe of thy corn and of
thy wine, and of thine oil, the first-born of thy herd and of thy flock,
that thou mayest learn to fear the Lord thy God always.
14:24 And if the journey be too far for thee, and thou art not able to bring
them, because the place [is] far from thee which the Lord thy God shall
choose to have his name called there, because the Lord thy God will bless
thee;
14:25 then thou shalt sell them for money, and thou shalt take the money in
thy hands, and thou shalt go to the place which the Lord thy God shall
choose.
14:26 And thou shalt give the money for whatsoever thy soul shall desire,
for oxen or for sheep, or for wine, or [thou shalt lay it out] on strong
drink, or on whatsoever thy soul may desire, and thou shalt eat there before
the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice and thy house,
14:27 and the Levite that is in thy cities, because he has not a portion or
inheritance with thee.
14:28 Afer three years thou shalt bring out all the tithes of thy fruits, in
that year thou shalt lay it up in thy cities.
14:29 And the Levite shall come, because he has no part or lot with thee,
and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow which is in thy cities; and
they shall eat and be filled, that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all
the works which thou shalt do. |
14:1 Ye are the children of the LORD your
God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes
for the dead.
14:2 For 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.
14:3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
14:4 These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the
goat,
14:5 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and
the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
14:6 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two
claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat.
14:7 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.
14:8 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 carcass.
14:9 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins
and scales shall ye eat:
14:10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean
unto you.
14:11 Of all clean birds ye shall eat.
14:12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the
ossifrage, and the ospray,
14:13 And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
14:14 And every raven after his kind,
14:15 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after
his kind,
14:16 The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
14:17 And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,
14:18 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the
bat.
14:19 And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall
not be eaten.
14:20 But of all clean fowls ye may eat.
14:21 Ye shall not eat of anything 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.
14:22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field
bringeth forth year by year.
14:23 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.
14:24 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:
14:25 Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine
hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:
14:26 And 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,
14:27 And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him;
for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
14:28 At 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:
14:29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,)
and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy
gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may
bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest. |
