Deuteronomy 14:12-22

12 But these are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle, and the peres, and the ozniah,
13 and the red kite, and the ayah, and the daah after its kind,
14 and every orev after its kind,
15 and the bas haya`anah, and the takhmos, and the sea-mew, and the netz after its kind,
16 the kos, and the yanshuf, and the tanshemet,
17 and the ka`at, and the rakham, and the shalakh,
18 and the khasidah, and the anafah after its kind, and the dukifat, and the atalef.
19 All winged creeping things are unclean to you: they shall not be eaten.
20 Of all clean birds you may eat.
21 You shall not eat of anything that dies of itself: you may give it to the sojourner 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 the LORD your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
22 You shall surely tithe all the increase of your seed, that which comes forth from the field year by year.
