New Testament

Deuteronomy 14:18-25 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

18. the pelican and the plover, each in their kind, likewise the crested hoopoe and the bat.

19. And anything which crawls and also has little wings shall be unclean, and shall not be eaten.

20. All that is clean, you shall 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.

22. Each year, you shall separate the tithes out of all your crops which spring forth from the earth.

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.

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,

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.
