1. You are the children of the LORD your God: you shall not cut yourselves, nor make any bald place on your foreheads for the dead.
2. For you are a holy people unto the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.
3. You shall not eat any abominable thing.
4. These are the animals which you shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
5. The hare, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the ibex, and the antelope, and the mountain sheep.
6. And every animal that parts the hoof, and has the hoof split in two, and chews the cud, among the animals, that you shall eat.
