the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl,
17
and the pelican, and the vulture, and the cormorant,
18
and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
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 Yahweh 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.
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.
24
If the way be 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;
25
then shall you turn it into money, and bind up the money in your hand, and shall go to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose:
26
and you shall bestow the money for whatever your soul desires, for oxen, 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.
