Deuteronomy 14

Good News Translation GNT

1 "You are the people of the Lord your God. So when you mourn for the dead, don't gash yourselves or shave the front of your head, as other people do.

2 You belong to the Lord your God; he has chosen you to be his own people from among all the peoples who live on earth.

3 "Do not eat anything that the Lord has declared unclean.

4 You may eat these animals: cattle, sheep, goats,

5 deer, wild sheep, wild goats, or antelopes -

6 any animals that have divided hoofs and that also chew the cud.

7 But no animals may be eaten unless they have divided hoofs and also chew the cud. You may not eat camels, rabbits, or rock badgers. They must be considered unclean; they chew the cud but do not have divided hoofs.

8 Do not eat pigs. They must be considered unclean; they have divided hoofs but do not chew the cud. Do not eat any of these animals or even touch their dead bodies.

9 "You may eat any kind of fish that has fins and scales,

10 but anything living in the water that does not have fins and scales may not be eaten; it must be considered unclean.

11 "You may eat any clean bird.

12 But these are the kinds of birds you are not to eat: eagles, owls, hawks, falcons; buzzards, vultures, crows; ostriches; seagulls, storks, herons, pelicans, cormorants; hoopoes; and bats.

19 "All winged insects are unclean; do not eat them.

20 You may eat any clean insect.

21 "Do not eat any animal that dies a natural death. You may let the foreigners who live among you eat it, or you may sell it to other foreigners. But you belong to the Lord your God; you are his people. "Do not cook a young sheep or goat in its mother's milk.

22 "Set aside a tithe - a tenth of all that your fields produce each year.

23 Then go to the one place where the Lord your God has chosen to be worshiped; and there in his presence eat the tithes of your grain, wine, and olive oil, and the first-born of your cattle and sheep. Do this so that you may learn to honor the Lord your God always.

24 If the place of worship is too far from your home for you to carry there the tithe of the produce that the Lord has blessed you with, then do this:

25 Sell your produce and take the money with you to the one place of worship.

26 Spend it on whatever you want - beef, lamb, wine, beer - and there, in the presence of the Lord your God, you and your families are to eat and enjoy yourselves.

27 "Do not neglect the Levites who live in your towns; they have no property of their own.

28 At the end of every third year bring the tithe of all your crops and store it in your towns.

29 This food is for the Levites, since they own no property, and for the foreigners, orphans, and widows who live in your towns. They are to come and get all they need. Do this, and the Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.

1 You are the children of the LORD your God. You shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.

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

5 the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the chamois.

6 Every animal that parts the hoof, and has the hoof split in two and chews the cud, among the animals, you may eat.

7 Nevertheless these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of those who have the hoof split: the camel, the hare, and the rabbit. Because they chew the cud but don’t part the hoof, they are unclean to you.

8 The pig, because it has a split hoof but doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you. You shall not eat their meat. You shall not touch their carcasses.

9 These you may eat of all that are in the waters: you may eat whatever has fins and scales.

10 You shall not eat whatever doesn’t have fins and scales. It is unclean to you.

24 If the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it because the place which the LORD your God shall choose to set his name there is too far from you, when the LORD your God blesses you,

25 then you shall turn it into money, bind up the money in your hand, and shall go to the place which the LORD your God shall choose.

26 You shall trade the money for whatever your soul desires: for cattle, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever your soul asks of you. You shall eat there before the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household.

27 You shall not forsake the Levite who is within your gates, for he has no portion nor inheritance with you.

28 At the end of every three years you shall bring all the tithe of your increase in the same year, and shall store it within your gates.

29 The Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, as well as the foreigner living among you, the fatherless, and the widow who are within your gates shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.
