You must not eat any detestable thing.
4
These are the animals that you may eat: The ox, the sheep, the goat,
5
the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the mountain sheep.
6
You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and that chews the cud.
7
But of those that chew the cud or have a completely divided hoof, you are not to eat the following: the camel, the rabbit, or the rock badger. Although they chew the cud, they do not have a divided hoof. They are unclean for you,
8
as well as the pig; though it has a divided hoof, it does not chew the cud. It is unclean for you. You must not eat its meat or touch its carcass.
9
Of all the creatures that live in the water, you may eat anything with fins and scales,
10
but you may not eat anything that does not have fins and scales; it is unclean for you.
11
You may eat any clean bird,
12
but these you may not eat: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture,
13
the red kite, the falcon, any kind of kite,
15
the ostrich, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,
16
the little owl, the great owl, the white owl,
17
the desert owl, the osprey, the cormorant,
18
the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, or the bat.
19
All flying insects are unclean for you; they may not be eaten.
20
But you may eat any clean bird.
21
You are not to eat any carcass; you may give it to the foreigner residing within your gates, and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a holy people belonging to the LORD your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.
