Deuteronomy 14:11-21

11 omnes aves mundas comedite

12 inmundas ne comedatis aquilam scilicet et grypem et alietum

13 ixon et vulturem ac milvum iuxta genus suum

14 et omne corvini generis

15 strutionem ac noctuam et larum atque accipitrem iuxta genus suum

16 herodium et cycnum et ibin

17 ac mergulum porphirionem et nycticoracem

18 onocrotalum et charadrium singula in genere suo upupam quoque et vespertilionem

19 et omne quod reptat et pinnulas habet inmundum erit nec comedetur

20 omne quod mundum est comedite

21 quicquid morticinum est ne vescamini ex eo peregrino qui intra portas tuas est da ut comedat aut vende ei quia tu populus sanctus Domini Dei tui es non coques hedum in lacte matris suae
