CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINKING JAMES BIBLE
1 “Be sons of the Lord your God. You shall not cut yourselves, nor make yourselves bald, because of the dead.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 holy people, for the Lord your God. And he chose you, so that you may be a people particularly his, out of all the nations on 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 shall not eat the things that are unclean.3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
4 These are the animals which you ought to eat: the ox, and the sheep, and the goat,4 These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
5 the stag and the roe deer, the gazelle, the wild goat, the addax, the antelope, the giraffe.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 Every beast which has a hoof divided into two parts and which also chews the cud, you shall eat.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 But those which chew over again, but do not have a divided hoof, you must not eat, such as the camel, the hare, and the hyrax. Since these chew the cud, but do not have a divided the hoof, they shall be unclean to you.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 The pig also, since it has a divided hoof, but does not chew over again, shall be unclean. Their flesh shall not be eaten, and you shall not touch their carcasses.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 you shall eat out of all that dwells in the waters: whatever has fins and scales, you shall eat.9 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:
10 Whatever is without fins and scales, you shall not eat, for these are unclean.10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.
11 All the clean birds, you shall eat.11 Of all clean birds ye shall eat.
12 You shall not eat those that are unclean: such as the eagle, and the griffin, and the osprey,12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and ossifrage, and the ospray,
13 the crane, and the vulture, and the kite, according to their kind,13 And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
14 and any kind of raven,14 And every raven after his kind,
15 and the ostrich, and the owl, and the gull, and the hawk, according to their kind,15 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
16 the heron, and the swan, and the ibis,16 The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
17 and the sea bird, the marsh hen, and the night raven,17 And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,
18 the pelican and the plover, each in their kind, likewise the crested hoopoe and the bat.18 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
19 And anything which crawls and also has little wings shall be unclean, and shall not be eaten.19 And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.
20 All that is clean, you shall eat.20 But of all clean fowls ye may eat.
21 But whatever has died of itself, you shall not eat from it. Give it to the sojourner, who is within your gates, so that he may eat, or sell it to him. For you are the holy people of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a young goat in the milk of his mother.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 Each year, you shall separate the tithes out of all your crops which spring forth from the earth.22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.
23 And you shall eat these in the sight of the Lord your God, in the place which he will choose, so that his name may be invoked there: the tenth part of your grain and wine and oil, and the firstborn from the herds and your sheep. So may you learn to fear the Lord your God at all times.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 But when the way and the place which the Lord your God will have chosen is further away, and he will have blessed you, so that you are not able to carry all these things to it,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 shall sell them all, so as to turn them into money, and you shall carry it in your hand, and you shall set out for the place which the Lord will choose.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 And you shall buy with the same money whatever pleases you, either from the herds or from the sheep, and also wine and liquor, and all that your soul desires. And you shall eat in the sight of the Lord your God, and you shall feast: 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,
27 As for the Levite, who is within your gates, take care that you do not abandon him, for he has no other portion within your possession.27 And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
28 In the third year, you shall separate another tenth part of all the things which spring forth for you at that time, and you shall store it within your gates.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:
29 And the Levite, who has no other portion or possession with you, and the sojourner as well as the orphan and the widow who are within your gates, shall approach and eat and be satisfied, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the works of your hands which you shall do.”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.
