Deuteronomy 14:3-21 - Clean And Unclean Foods

3 You shall not eat any hateful thing. 4 These are the animals which you shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat, 5 the hart, and the gazelle, and the roe deer, and the wild goat, and the mountain goat, and the wild ox, and the mountain-sheep.

6 And every animal that divides the hoof, and divides it into two hooves, and chews the cud among the animals, that you shall eat. 7 But these you shall not eat, of those which chew the cud, or of those that divide the cloven hoof: the camel, and the hare, and the rock badger, for they chew the cud, but do not divide the hoof. They are unclean to you. 8 And the swine, because it divides the hoof but does not chew the cud; it is unclean to you. You shall not eat of their flesh nor touch their dead body.

9 These you shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales you shall eat. 10 And whatever does not have fins and scales you shall not eat. It is unclean to you. 11 You shall eat all clean birds. 12 But you shall not eat of these: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey, 13 and the hawk, and the falcon, and the vulture after its kind, 14 and every raven after its kind, 15 and the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after its kind, 16 the little owl, and the great owl, and the swan, 17 and the pelican, and the owl, and the cormorant, 18 and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

19 And every creeping thing that flies is unclean to you. They shall not be eaten. 20 You may eat all clean fowls.

21 You shall not eat anything that dies of itself. You shall give it to the stranger that is in your gates, so that he may eat it. Or you may sell it to a stranger. For you are a holy people to Jehovah your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
