[7:1] When Yahweh your God shall bring you into the land where you go to possess it, and shall cast out many nations before you, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations greater and mightier than you; [7:2] and when Yahweh your God shall deliver them up before you, and you shall strike them; then you shall utterly destroy them: you shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them; [7:3] neither shall you make marriages with them; your daughter you shall not give to his son, nor shall you take his daughter for your son. [7:4] For he will turn away your son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so the anger of Yahweh would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly. [7:5] But you shall deal with them like this: you shall break down their altars, and dash their pillars in pieces, and cut down their Asherim, and burn their engraved images with fire. [7:6] For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God: Yahweh your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth. [7:7] Yahweh didn't set his love on you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples: [7:8] but because Yahweh loves you, and because he would keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, has Yahweh brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. [7:9] Know therefore that Yahweh your God, he is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with them who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations, [7:10] and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him who hates him, he will repay him to his face. [7:11] You shall therefore keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command you this day, to do them. [7:12] It shall happen, because you listen to these ordinances, and keep and do them, that Yahweh your God will keep with you the covenant and the loving kindness which he swore to your fathers: [7:13] and he will love you, and bless you, and multiply you; he will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your livestock and the young of your flock, in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you. [7:14] You shall be blessed above all peoples: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your livestock. [7:15] Yahweh will take away from you all sickness; and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, he will put on you, but will lay them on all those who hate you. [7:16] You shall consume all the peoples whom Yahweh your God shall deliver to you; your eye shall not pity them: neither shall you serve their gods; for that will be a snare to you. [7:17] If you shall say in your heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them? [7:18] you shall not be afraid of them: you shall well remember what Yahweh your God did to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt; [7:19] the great trials which your eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which Yahweh your God brought you out: so shall Yahweh your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid. [7:20] Moreover Yahweh your God will send the hornet among them, until those who are left, and hide themselves, perish from before you. [7:21] You shall not be scared of them; for Yahweh your God is in the midst of you, a great and awesome God. [7:22] Yahweh your God will cast out those nations before you by little and little: you may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase on you. [7:23] But Yahweh your God will deliver them up before you, and will confuse them with a great confusion, until they be destroyed. [7:24] He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall make their name to perish from under the sky: there shall no man be able to stand before you, until you have destroyed them. [7:25] You shall burn the engraved images of their gods with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared in it; for it is an abomination to Yahweh your God. [7:26] You shall not bring an abomination into your house, and become a devoted thing like it. You shall utterly detest it, and you shall utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.
[8:1] You shall observe to do all the commandment which I command you this day, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers. [8:2] You shall remember all the way which Yahweh your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or not. [8:3] He humbled you, and allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you didn't know, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh does man live. [8:4] Your clothing didn't grow old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years. [8:5] You shall consider in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so Yahweh your God chastens you. [8:6] You shall keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. [8:7] For Yahweh your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of springs, and underground water flowing into valleys and hills; [8:8] a land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees and honey; [8:9] a land in which you shall eat bread without scarceness, you shall not lack anything in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig copper. [8:10] You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless Yahweh your God for the good land which he has given you. [8:11] Beware lest you forget Yahweh your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command you this day: [8:12] lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and lived therein; [8:13] and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; [8:14] then your heart be lifted up, and you forget Yahweh your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; [8:15] who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, in which were fiery serpents and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who brought you forth water out of the rock of flint; [8:16] who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers didn't know; that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end: [8:17] and lest you say in your heart, My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth. [8:18] But you shall remember Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as at this day. [8:19] It shall be, if you shall forget Yahweh your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish. [8:20] As the nations that Yahweh makes to perish before you, so you shall perish; because you wouldn't listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.
[9:1] Hear, Israel: you are to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky, [9:2] a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, Who can stand before the sons of Anak? [9:3] Know therefore this day, that Yahweh your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will bring them down before you: so you shall drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as Yahweh has spoken to you. [9:4] Don't speak in your heart, after that Yahweh your God has thrust them out from before you, saying, For my righteousness Yahweh has brought me in to possess this land; whereas for the wickedness of these nations Yahweh does drive them out from before you. [9:5] Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations Yahweh your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. [9:6] Know therefore, that Yahweh your God doesn't give you this good land to possess it for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people. [9:7] Remember, don't forget, how you provoked Yahweh your God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that you went forth out of the land of Egypt, until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against Yahweh. [9:8] Also in Horeb you provoked Yahweh to wrath, and Yahweh was angry with you to destroy you. [9:9] When I was gone up onto the mountain to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which Yahweh made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights; I did neither eat bread nor drink water. [9:10] Yahweh delivered to me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which Yahweh spoke with you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. [9:11] It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Yahweh gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant. [9:12] Yahweh said to me, Arise, get you down quickly from hence; for your people whom you have brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they have quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image. [9:13] Furthermore Yahweh spoke to me, saying, I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people: [9:14] let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they. [9:15] So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands. [9:16] I looked, and behold, you had sinned against Yahweh your God; you had made you a molten calf: you had turned aside quickly out of the way which Yahweh had commanded you. [9:17] I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes. [9:18] I fell down before Yahweh, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I did neither eat bread nor drink water; because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger. [9:19] For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, with which Yahweh was angry against you to destroy you. But Yahweh listened to me that time also. [9:20] Yahweh was very angry with Aaron to destroy him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time. [9:21] I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust: and I cast its dust into the brook that descended out of the mountain. [9:22] At Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah, you provoked Yahweh to wrath. [9:23] When Yahweh sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then you rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God, and you didn't believe him, nor listen to his voice. [9:24] You have been rebellious against Yahweh from the day that I knew you. [9:25] So I fell down before Yahweh the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Yahweh had said he would destroy you. [9:26] I prayed to Yahweh, and said, Lord Yahweh, don't destroy your people and your inheritance, that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand. [9:27] Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; don't look to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin, [9:28] lest the land whence you brought us out say, Because Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness. [9:29] Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.
[10:1] At that time Yahweh said to me, Cut two tables of stone like the first, and come up to me onto the mountain, and make an ark of wood. [10:2] I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which you broke, and you shall put them in the ark. [10:3] So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut two tables of stone like the first, and went up onto the mountain, having the two tables in my hand. [10:4] He wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which Yahweh spoke to you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and Yahweh gave them to me. [10:5] I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are as Yahweh commanded me. [10:6] (The children of Israel traveled from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his place. [10:7] From there they traveled to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water. [10:8] At that time Yahweh set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, to stand before Yahweh to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day. [10:9] Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; Yahweh is his inheritance, according as Yahweh your God spoke to him.) [10:10] I stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and Yahweh listened to me that time also; Yahweh would not destroy you. [10:11] Yahweh said to me, Arise, take your journey before the people; and they shall go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give to them. [10:12] Now, Israel, what does Yahweh your God require of you, but to fear Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul, [10:13] to keep the commandments of Yahweh, and his statutes, which I command you this day for your good? [10:14] Behold, to Yahweh your God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is therein. [10:15] Only Yahweh had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples, as at this day. [10:16] Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked. [10:17] For Yahweh your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who doesn't regard persons, nor takes reward. [10:18] He does execute justice for the fatherless and widow, and loves the foreigner, in giving him food and clothing. [10:19] Therefore love the foreigner; for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. [10:20] You shall fear Yahweh your God; you shall serve him; and you shall cling to him, and you shall swear by his name. [10:21] He is your praise, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things, which your eyes have seen. [10:22] Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now Yahweh your God has made you as the stars of the sky for multitude.
[11:1] Therefore you shall love Yahweh your God, and keep his instructions, and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments, always. [11:2] Know you this day: for I don't speak with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of Yahweh your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his outstretched arm, [11:3] and his signs, and his works, which he did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to all his land; [11:4] and what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the [Red Sea] to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how Yahweh has destroyed them to this day; [11:5] and what he did to you in the wilderness, until you came to this place; [11:6] and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; how the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the midst of all Israel: [11:7] but your eyes have seen all the great work of Yahweh which he did. [11:8] Therefore you shall keep all the commandment which I command you this day, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land, where you go over to possess it; [11:9] and that you may prolong your days in the land, which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give to them and to their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey. [11:10] For the land, where you go in to possess it, isn't as the land of Egypt, from whence you came out, where you sowed your seed, and watered it with your foot, as a garden of herbs; [11:11] but the land, where you go over to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinks water of the rain of the sky, [11:12] a land which Yahweh your God cares for: the eyes of Yahweh your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year. [11:13] It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to my commandments which I command you this day, to love Yahweh your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, [11:14] that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, and your new wine, and your oil. [11:15] I will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full. [11:16] Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; [11:17] and the anger of Yahweh be kindled against you, and he shut up the sky, so that there shall be no rain, and the land shall not yield its fruit; and you perish quickly from off the good land which Yahweh gives you. [11:18] Therefore you shall lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul; and you shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for symbols between your eyes. [11:19] You shall teach them your children, talking of them, when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up. [11:20] You shall write them on the door posts of your house, and on your gates; [11:21] that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth. [11:22] For if you shall diligently keep all this commandment which I command you, to do it, to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave to him; [11:23] then will Yahweh drive out all these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves. [11:24] Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the hinder sea shall be your border. [11:25] There shall no man be able to stand before you: Yahweh your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you shall tread on, as he has spoken to you. [11:26] Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse: [11:27] the blessing, if you shall listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I command you this day; [11:28] and the curse, if you shall not listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which you have not known. [11:29] It shall happen, when Yahweh your God shall bring you into the land where you go to possess it, that you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse on Mount Ebal. [11:30] Aren't they beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who dwell in the Arabah, over against Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh? [11:31] For you are to pass over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which Yahweh your God gives you, and you shall possess it, and dwell therein. [11:32] You shall observe to do all the statutes and the ordinances which I set before you this day.
[12:1] These are the statutes and the ordinances which you shall observe to do in the land which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess it, all the days that you live on the earth. [12:2] You shall surely destroy all the places in which the nations that you shall dispossess served their gods, on the high mountains, and on the hills, and under every green tree: [12:3] and you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and burn their Asherim with fire; and you shall cut down the engraved images of their gods; and you shall destroy their name out of that place. [12:4] You shall not do so to Yahweh your God. [12:5] But to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, even to his habitation you shall seek, and there you shall come; [12:6] and there you shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the wave offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock: [12:7] and there you shall eat before Yahweh your God, and you shall rejoice in all that you put your hand to, you and your households, in which Yahweh your God has blessed you. [12:8] You shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatever is right in his own eyes; [12:9] for you haven't yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which Yahweh your God gives you. [12:10] But when you go over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which Yahweh your God causes you to inherit, and he gives you rest from all your enemies around you, so that you dwell in safety; [12:11] then it shall happen that to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, there you shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the wave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which you vow to Yahweh. [12:12] You shall rejoice before Yahweh your God, you, and your sons, and your daughters, and your male servants, and your female servants, and the Levite who is within your gates, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you. [12:13] Take heed to yourself that you don't offer your burnt offerings in every place that you see; [12:14] but in the place which Yahweh shall choose in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I command you. [12:15] Notwithstanding, you may kill and eat flesh within all your gates, after all the desire of your soul, according to the blessing of Yahweh your God which he has given you: the unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of the gazelle, and as of the hart. [12:16] Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the earth as water. [12:17] You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your grain, or of your new wine, or of your oil, or the firstborn of your herd or of your flock, nor any of your vows which you vow, nor your freewill offerings, nor the wave offering of your hand; [12:18] but you shall eat them before Yahweh your God in the place which Yahweh your God shall choose, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your male servant, and your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates: and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God in all that you put your hand to. [12:19] Take heed to yourself that you don't forsake the Levite as long as you live in your land. [12:20] When Yahweh your God shall enlarge your border, as he has promised you, and you shall say, I will eat flesh, because your soul desires to eat flesh; you may eat flesh, after all the desire of your soul. [12:21] If the place which Yahweh your God shall choose, to put his name there, is too far from you, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock, which Yahweh has given you, as I have commanded you; and you may eat within your gates, after all the desire of your soul. [12:22] Even as the gazelle and as the hart is eaten, so you shall eat of it: the unclean and the clean may eat of it alike. [12:23] Only be sure that you don't eat the blood: for the blood is the life; and you shall not eat the life with the flesh. [12:24] You shall not eat it; you shall pour it out on the earth as water. [12:25] You shall not eat it; that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, when you shall do that which is right in the eyes of Yahweh. [12:26] Only your holy things which you have, and your vows, you shall take, and go to the place which Yahweh shall choose: [12:27] and you shall offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, on the altar of Yahweh your God; and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of Yahweh your God; and you shall eat the flesh. [12:28] Observe and hear all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you forever, when you do that which is good and right in the eyes of Yahweh your God. [12:29] When Yahweh your God shall cut off the nations from before you, where you go in to dispossess them, and you dispossess them, and dwell in their land; [12:30] take heed to yourself that you not be ensnared to follow them, after that they are destroyed from before you; and that you not inquire after their gods, saying, How do these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. [12:31] You shall not do so to Yahweh your God: for every abomination to Yahweh, which he hates, have they done to their gods; for even their sons and their daughters do they burn in the fire to their gods. [12:32] Whatever thing I command you, that you shall observe to do: you shall not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
[13:1] If there arise in the midst of you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he give you a sign or a wonder, [13:2] and the sign or the wonder come to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, Let us go after other gods, which you have not known, and let us serve them; [13:3] you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams: for Yahweh your God proves you, to know whether you love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul. [13:4] You shall walk after Yahweh your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and you shall serve him, and cleave to him. [13:5] That prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to draw you aside out of the way which Yahweh your God commanded you to walk in. So you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.
[13:6] If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend, who is as your own soul, entice you secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which you have not known, you, nor your fathers; [13:7] of the gods of the peoples who are around you, near to you, or far off from you, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth; [13:8] you shall not consent to him, nor listen to him; neither shall your eye pity him, neither shall you spare, neither shall you conceal him: [13:9] but you shall surely kill him; your hand shall be first on him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. [13:10] You shall stone him to death with stones, because he has sought to draw you away from Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. [13:11] All Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall not do any more such wickedness as this is in the midst of you.
[13:12] If you shall hear tell concerning one of your cities, which Yahweh your God gives you to dwell there, saying, [13:13] Certain base fellows are gone out from the midst of you, and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which you have not known; [13:14] then you shall inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is done in the midst of you, [13:15] you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein and its livestock, with the edge of the sword. [13:16] You shall gather all its spoil into the midst of its street, and shall burn with fire the city, and all its spoil every whit, to Yahweh your God: and it shall be a heap forever; it shall not be built again. [13:17] There shall cleave nothing of the devoted thing to your hand; that Yahweh may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show you mercy, and have compassion on you, and multiply you, as he has sworn to your fathers; [13:18] when you shall listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, to keep all his commandments which I command you this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of Yahweh your God.
[14:1] You are the children of Yahweh your God: you shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead. [14:2] For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God, and Yahweh has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth. [14:3] You shall not eat any abominable thing. [14:4] These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat, [14:5] the hart, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the ibex, and the antelope, and the chamois. [14:6] Every animal that parts the hoof, and has the hoof cloven in two, and chews the cud, among the animals, that may you eat. [14:7] Nevertheless these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of those who have the hoof cloven: the camel, and the hare, and the rabbit; because they chew the cud but don't part the hoof, they are unclean to you. [14:8] The pig, because it has a split hoof but doesn't chew the cud, is unclean to you: of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch. [14:9] These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales may you eat; [14:10] and whatever doesn't have fins and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean to you. [14:11] Of all clean birds you may eat. [14:12] But these are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle, and the vulture, and the osprey, [14:13] and the red kite, and the falcon, and the kite after its kind, [14:14] and every raven after its kind, [14:15] and the ostrich, and the owl, and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind, [14:16] the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl, [14:17] and the pelican, and the vulture, and the cormorant, [14:18] and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat. [14:19] All winged creeping things are unclean to you: they shall not be eaten. [14:20] Of all clean birds you may eat. [14:21] You shall not eat of anything that dies of itself: you may give it to the foreigner living among you who is within your gates, that he may eat it; or you may sell it to a foreigner: for you are a holy people to Yahweh your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk. [14:22] You shall surely tithe all the increase of your seed, that which comes forth from the field year by year. [14:23] You shall eat before Yahweh your God, in the place which he shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock; that you may learn to fear Yahweh your God always. [14:24] If the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it, because the place is too far from you, which Yahweh your God shall choose, to set his name there, when Yahweh your God shall bless you; [14:25] then you shall turn it into money, and bind up the money in your hand, and shall go to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose: [14:26] and you shall bestow the money for whatever your soul desires, for cattle, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever your soul asks of you; and you shall eat there before Yahweh your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household. [14:27] The Levite who is within your gates, you shall not forsake him; for he has no portion nor inheritance with you. [14:28] At the end of every three years you shall bring forth all the tithe of your increase in the same year, and shall lay it up within your gates: [14:29] and the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the foreigner living among you, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.
