Deuteronomy 14:3-21 - Clean And Unclean Foods

3 You shall not eat any detestable thing. 4 These are the animals you may eat: ox, {sheep, goats}, 5 deer, gazelle, roebuck, wild goat, ibex, antelope, and mountain sheep.

6 And any animal having a split hoof and [so] {a dividing of the hoof into two parts} {and that chews the cud} among the animals--that [animal] you may eat. 7 Only these you may not eat from {those chewing the cud} and from {those having a division of the hoof}: the camel and the hare and the coney, because {they chew the cud}, but they [do] not divide the hoof; they are [therefore] unclean for you. 8 And [also] the pig {because it has a division of the hoof} {but does not chew the cud}; it [is] unclean for you; from their meat you shall not eat, and you shall not touch their {carcasses}.

9 "This [is what] you shall eat from all that [is] in the water: {everything} {that has fins and scales} you may eat. 10 But {anything that does not have} fins and scales, you may not eat, [for] it [is] unclean for you. 11 "All [of] [the] birds [that] [are] clean you may eat. 12 Now these [are] the ones you shall not eat {any of them}: the eagle and the vulture and the short-toed eagle, 13 and the red kite and the black kite or {any kind of falcon}, 14 and any [kind] of crow according to its kind, 15 and the {ostrich} and the short-eared owl and the seagull and the hawk according to its kind, 16 the little owl and the great owl and the barn owl, 17 and the desert owl and the carrion vulture and the cormorant, 18 and the stork and the heron according to its kind and the hoopoe and the bat.

19 And [also] all [of] {the winged insects}; they [are] unclean for you; you shall not eat [them]. 20 You may eat any clean bird.

21 "You shall not eat any carcass; you may give it to the alien who [is] in your {towns}, and he may eat it, or you may sell [it] to a foreigner, for you [are] a holy people for Yahweh your God; you may not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
