For thou art an holypeopleunto the LORD thy God, and the LORDhathchosenthee to be a peculiarpeopleuntohimself, above all the nationsthat are upon the earth.
Neverthelessthese ye shall not eat of themthatchew the cud, or of themthatdivide the clovenhoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for theychew the cud, but divide not the hoof; thereforethey are uncleanunto you.
And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is uncleanunto you: ye shall not eat of theirflesh, nor touchtheirdeadcarcase.
Ye shall not eat of any thingthatdieth of itself: thoushaltgive it unto the strangerthat is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thoumayestsell it unto an alien: for thou art an holypeopleunto the LORD thy God. Thoushalt not seethe a kid in his mother’smilk.
And thoushalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the placewhich he shallchoose to place his namethere, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; thatthoumayestlearn to fear the LORD thy God always.
And if the way be too long for thee, so thatthou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far fromthee, which the LORD thy God shallchoose to set his namethere, when the LORD thy God hathblessedthee:
And thoushaltbestowthatmoney for whatsoever thy soullustethafter, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strongdrink, or for whatsoever thy souldesireth: and thoushalt eat therebefore the LORD thy God, and thoushaltrejoice, thou, and thinehousehold,
And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritancewiththee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shallcome, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may blessthee in all the work of thinehandwhichthoudoest.
