1. You are the sons of the Lord your God. You shall not cut yourselves or make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
2. For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a peculiar people to Himself, treasured above all the nations that are on the earth.
3. You must not eat any detestable thing.
4. These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
5. the deer, the gazelle, the fallow deer, the wild goat, and the ibex, and the antelope, and the mountain sheep.
6. You may eat every animal with divided hooves, with the hoof divided into two parts, and that chews the cud.
7. Nevertheless, you may not eat of these that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: the camel, the rabbit, and the coney. For they chew the cud, but their hoof is not divided, therefore they are unclean to you.
