the little owl and the great owl, the water hen
17
and the desert owl, the carrion vulture and the cormorant,
18
the stork, the heron of any kind; the hoopoe and the bat.
19
And all winged insects are unclean for you; they shall not be eaten.
20
You may eat any clean winged creature.
21
You shall not eat anything that dies of itself; you may give it to aliens residing in your towns for them to eat, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
22
Set apart a tithe of all the yield of your seed that is brought in yearly from the field.
23
In the presence of the Lord your God, in the place that he will choose as a dwelling for his name, you shall eat the tithe of your grain, your wine, and your oil, as well as the firstlings of your herd and flock, so that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always.
24
But if, when the Lord your God has blessed you, the distance is so great that you are unable to transport it, because the place where the Lord your God will choose to set his name is too far away from you,
25
then you may turn it into money. With the money secure in hand, go to the place that the Lord your God will choose;
26
spend the money for whatever you wish—oxen, sheep, wine, strong drink, or whatever you desire. And you shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God, you and your household rejoicing together.
