Deuteronomy 14:3-21 ▼

3 You do not eat any abomination;

4 this [is] the beast which you eat: ox, lamb of the sheep, or kid of the goats,

5 deer, and roe, and fallow deer, and wild goat, and ibex, and antelope, and zemer;

6 and every beast dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft into two hooves, bringing up the cud, among the beasts—you eat it.

7 Only, this you do not eat, of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the cloven hoof: the camel, and the hare, and the hyrax, for they are bringing up the cud, but the hoof has not divided—they [are] unclean to you;

8 and the sow, for it is dividing the hoof, and not [bringing] up the cud—it [is] unclean to you; you do not eat of their flesh, and you do not come against their carcass.

9 This you eat of all which [are] in the waters: anything that has fins and scales you eat;

10 and anything which does not have fins and scales you do not eat—it [is] unclean to you.

11 Any clean bird you eat;

12 and these [are] they of which you do not eat: the eagle, and the bearded vulture, and the osprey,

13 and the kite, and the falcon, and the vulture after its kind,

14 and every raven after its kind;

15 and the ostrich, and the nightjar [[or male ostrich]], and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind;

16 the little owl, and the great owl, and the waterhen,

17 and the pelican, and the Egyptian vulture, and the cormorant,

18 and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

19 And every teeming thing which is flying—it [is] unclean to you; they are not eaten;

20 any clean bird you eat.

21 You do not eat of any carcass; you give it to the sojourner who [is] within your gates, and he has eaten it; or sell [it] to a stranger; for you [are] a holy people to your God YHWH. You do not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.
