Deuteronomy 14

NIRV

NKJV

1 You are the children of the LORD your God. Don't cut yourselves to honor the dead. Don't shave the front of your heads to honor them.
1 "You are the children of the Lord your God; you shall not cut yourselves nor shave the front of your head for the dead.
2 You are a holy nation. The LORD your God has set you apart for himself. He has chosen you to be his special treasure. He chose you out of all of the nations on the face of the earth.
2 For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.
3 Don't eat anything the LORD hates.
3 "You shall not eat any detestable thing.
4 Here are the only animals you can eat. You can eat oxen, sheep, goats,
4 These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat,
5 deer, gazelles, roe deer, wild goats, ibexes, antelope and mountain sheep.
5 the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, the mountain goat, the antelope, and the mountain sheep.
6 You can eat any animal that has hoofs that are separated completely in two. But it must also chew the cud.
6 And you may eat every animal with cloven hooves, having the hoof split into two parts, and that chews the cud, among the animals.
7 Some animals only chew the cud. Others only have hoofs that are completely separated in two. The camel, rabbit and rock badger chew the cud, but they don't have hoofs that are completely separated. So you can't eat them. They are not "clean" for you.
7 Nevertheless, of those that chew the cud or have cloven hooves, you shall not eat, such as these: the camel, the hare, and the rock hyrax; for they chew the cud but do not have cloven hooves; they are unclean for you.
8 Pigs aren't "clean" for you either. They have hoofs that are completely separated, but they don't chew the cud. So don't eat their meat. And don't touch their dead bodies.
8 Also the swine is unclean for you, because it has cloven hooves, yet does not chew the cud; you shall not eat their flesh or touch their dead carcasses.
9 Many creatures live in water. You can eat all of the ones that have fins and scales.
9 "These you may eat of all that are in the waters: you may eat all that have fins and scales.
10 But don't eat anything that doesn't have fins and scales. It isn't "clean" for you.
10 And whatever does not have fins and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean for you.
11 You can eat any "clean" bird.
11 "All clean birds you may eat.
12 But there are many birds you can't eat. They include eagles, vultures, and black vultures.
12 But these you shall not eat: the eagle, the vulture, the buzzard,
13 They include red kites, black kites and all kinds of falcons.
13 the red kite, the falcon, and the kite after their kinds;
14 They include all kinds of ravens.
14 every raven after its kind;
15 They include horned owls, screech owls, gulls and all kinds of hawks.
15 the ostrich, the short-eared owl, the seagull, and the hawk after their kinds;
16 They include little owls, great owls, white owls
16 the little owl, the screech owl, the white owl,
17 and desert owls. They include ospreys and cormorants.
17 the jackdaw, the carrion vulture, the fisher owl,
18 They include storks and all kinds of herons. They also include hoopoes and bats.
18 the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe and the bat.
19 All insects that fly together in groups are "unclean" for you. So don't eat them.
19 Also every creeping thing that flies is unclean for you; they shall not be eaten.
20 But you can eat any creature that has wings and is "clean."
20 You may eat all clean birds.
21 If you find something that's already dead, don't eat it. You can give it to an outsider who is living in any of your towns. He can eat it. Or you can sell it to someone who is from another country. But you are a holy nation. The LORD your God has set you apart for himself. Don't cook a young goat in its mother's milk.
21 "You shall not eat anything that dies of itself; you may give it to the alien 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 young goat in its mother's milk.
22 Be sure to set apart a tenth of everything your fields produce each year.
22 "You shall truly tithe all the increase of your grain that the field produces year by year.
23 Here are the things you should eat in the sight of the LORD your God. You should eat a tenth part of your grain, olive oil and fresh wine. You should also eat the male animals among your livestock that were born first to their mothers. Eat all of those things at the special place the LORD your God will choose. He will put his Name there. You will learn to have respect for him always.
23 And you shall eat before the Lord your God, in the place where He chooses to make His name abide, the tithe of your grain and your new wine and your oil, of the firstborn of your herds and your flocks, that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always.
24 But suppose the place the LORD will choose for his Name is too far away from you. And suppose your God has blessed you. And your tenth part is too heavy for you to carry.
24 But if the journey is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, or if the place where the Lord your God chooses to put His name is too far from you, when the Lord your God has blessed you,
25 Then sell it for silver. Take the silver with you. Go to the place the LORD your God will choose.
25 then you shall exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place which the Lord your God chooses.
26 Use the silver to buy anything you like. It can be cattle or sheep. It can be any kind of wine. In fact, it can be anything else you wish. Then you and your family can eat there in the sight of the LORD your God. You can be filled with joy.
26 And you shall spend that money for whatever your heart desires: for oxen or sheep, for wine or similar drink, for whatever your heart desires; you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household.
27 Don't forget to take care of the Levites who will live in your towns. They won't receive any part of the land as their share.
27 You shall not forsake the Levite who is within your gates, for he has no part nor inheritance with you.
28 At the end of every three years, bring a tenth of everything you produce that year. Store it in your towns.
28 "At the end of every third year you shall bring out the tithe of your produce of that year and store it up within your gates.
29 Then the Levites can come and eat. That's because they won't receive any part of the land as their share. The outsiders and widows who live in your towns can come. So can the children whose fathers have died. Everyone can have plenty to eat. Then the LORD your God will bless you in everything you do.
29 And the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are within your gates, may come and eat and be satisfied, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.
