You are children of the Lord your God. You must not lacerate yourselves or shave your forelocks for the dead.

For you are a people holy to the Lord your God; it is you the Lord has chosen out of all the peoples on earth to be his people, his treasured possession.
3
You shall not eat any abhorrent thing.

These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat,

the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the mountain-sheep.
