New Testament

Deuteronomy 14:7-23 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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.

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.

9. These you shall eat out of all that dwells in the waters: whatever has fins and scales, you shall eat.

10. Whatever is without fins and scales, you shall not eat, for these are unclean.

11. All the clean birds, you shall eat.

12. You shall not eat those that are unclean: such as the eagle, and the griffin, and the osprey,

13. the crane, and the vulture, and the kite, according to their kind,

14. and any kind of raven,

15. and the ostrich, and the owl, and the gull, and the hawk, according to their kind,

16. the heron, and the swan, and the ibis,

17. and the sea bird, the marsh hen, and the night raven,

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.
