1
Be ye children of the Lord your God: you shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness for the dead;
2
Because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God: and he chose thee to be his peculiar people of all nations that are upon the earth.
3
Eat not the things that are unclean.
4
These are the beasts that you shall eat, the ox, and the sheep, and the goat,
5
The hart and the roe, the buffle, the chamois, the pygarg, the wild goat, the camelopardalus.
6
Every beast that divideth the hoof in two parts, and cheweth the cud, you shall eat.
7
But of them that chew the cud, but divide not the hoof, you shall not eat, such as the camel, the hare, and the cherogril: because they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof, they shall be unclean to you.
8
The swine also, because it divideth the hoof, but cheweth not the cud, shall be unclean, their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch.
9
These shall you eat of all that abide in the waters: All that have fins and scales, you shall eat.
10
Such as are without fins and scales, you shall not eat, because they are unclean.
