Deuteronomy 14:4-14

4 hoc est animal quod comedere debetis bovem et ovem et capram

5 cervum capream bubalum tragelaphum pygargon orygem camelopardalum

6 omne animal quod in duas partes ungulam findit et ruminat comedetis

7 de his autem quae ruminant et ungulam non findunt haec comedere non debetis camelum leporem choerogyllium quia ruminant et non dividunt ungulam inmunda erunt vobis

8 sus quoque quoniam dividit ungulam et non ruminat inmunda erit carnibus eorum non vescemini et cadavera non tangetis

9 haec comedetis ex omnibus quae morantur in aquis quae habent pinnulas et squamas comedite

10 quae absque pinnulis et squamis sunt ne comedatis quia inmunda sunt

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
