1 “Be sons of the Lord your God. You shall not cut yourselves, nor make yourselves bald, because of 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. 3 You shall not eat the things that are unclean. 4 These are the animals which you ought to eat: the ox, and the sheep, and the goat, 5 the stag and the roe deer, the gazelle, the wild goat, the addax, the antelope, the giraffe. 6 Every beast which has a hoof divided into two parts and which also chews the cud, you 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. 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. Deuteronomy 14:1-8, Catholic Public Domain Version. Public domain.
