1 'You are children of Yahweh your God. You must not gash yourselves or shave your foreheads for thedead.	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.
2 For you are a people consecrated to Yahweh your God, and Yahweh has chosen you to be his ownpeople from al the peoples on the earth.	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.
3 'You must not eat anything disgusting.	3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
4 These are the animals you may eat: ox, sheep, goat,	4 These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
5 deer, gazel e, roebuck, ibex, antelope, oryx, mountain sheep.	5 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
6 You may eat any animal that has a divided and cloven hoof and that is a ruminant.	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.
7 Of those, however, that are ruminants and of those that have a divided and cloven hoof you may noteat the fol owing: the camel, the hare and the coney, which are ruminants but have no cloven hoof; you mustclass them as unclean.	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 So also the pig, which though it has a cloven hoof is not a ruminant; you must class it as unclean. Youmust neither eat the meat of such animals nor touch their dead bodies.	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 'Of whatever lives in water you may eat the fol owing: you may eat anything that has fins and scales.	9 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:
10 But you must not eat anything without fins and scales: you must class it as unclean.	10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.
11 'You may eat al clean birds,	11 Of all clean birds ye shall eat.
12 but the fol owing birds you must not eat: the tawny vulture, the griffon, the osprey,	12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and ossifrage, and the ospray,
13 the kite and the several kinds of buzzard,	13 And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
14 al kinds of raven,	14 And every raven after his kind,
15 the ostrich, the screech owl, the seagul , the several kinds of hawk,	15 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
16 owl, barn owl, ibis,	16 The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
17 pelican, white vulture, cormorant,	17 And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,
18 stork, the several kinds of heron, hoopoe and bat.	18 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
19 You are to class al winged insects as unclean and must not eat them.	19 And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.
20 You may eat any clean fowl.	20 But of all clean fowls ye may eat.
21 'You must not eat any animal that has died a natural death. You may give it to a resident foreigner toeat, or sel it to a foreigner. For you are a people consecrated to Yahweh your God. 'You must not boil a kid in itsmother's milk.	21 Ye 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.
22 'Every year, you must take a tithe of what your fields produce from what you have sown	22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.
23 and, in the presence of Yahweh your God, in the place where he chooses to give his name a home,you must eat the tithe of your wheat, of your new wine and of your oil, and the first-born of your herd and flock;and by so doing, you wil learn always to fear Yahweh your God.	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 'If the road is too long for you, if you cannot bring your tithe because the place in which Yahwehchooses to make a home for his name is too far away, when Yahweh your God has blessed you,	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:
25 you must convert it into money and, with the money clasped in your hand, you must go to the placechosen by Yahweh your God;	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:
26 there you may spend the money on whatever you like, oxen, sheep, wine, fermented liquor, anythingyou please. There you must eat in the presence of Yahweh your God and rejoice, you and your household.	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,

29 Then the Levite -- since he has no share or heritage of his own among you -- the foreigner, theorphan and the widow living in your community, wil come and eat all they want. And so Yahweh your God wilbless you in al the labours that you undertake.'	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.
