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.
