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.
8. The pig is unclean to you because it divides the hoof, yet it does not chew the cud. You must not eat of their flesh or touch their dead carcass.
9. These you shall eat of all that are in the water: All that have fins and scales you may eat.
10. Whatever does not have fins and scales you may not eat. It is unclean to you.
11. You may eat of all clean birds.
12. However, these are the ones which you cannot eat: the eagle, the vulture, the buzzard,
13. the red kite, the falcon, and the kite after its kind,
14. every raven after its kind,
15. and the ostrich, the owl, the seagull, and the hawk after its kind,
16. the little owl, and the great owl, and the white owl,
17. the pelican, the carrion vulture, and the cormorant,
18. the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
