1. “You are children of Yahweh your God; therefore you must not gash yourself, and you must not make your forehead bald for the dead.
2. For you are a people holy to Yahweh your God, and you Yahweh has chosen to be a treasured possession from among all of the peoples that are on the surface of the earth.
3. You shall not eat any detestable thing.
4. These are the animals you may eat: ox, sheep, goats,
5. deer, gazelle, roebuck, wild goat, ibex, antelope, and mountain sheep.
6. And any animal having a split hoof and so a dividing of the hoof into two parts and that chews the cud among the animals—that animal you may eat.
7. Only these you may not eat from those chewing the cud and from those having a division of the hoof: the camel and the hare and the coney, because they chew the cud, but they do not divide the hoof; they are therefore unclean for you.
8. And also the pig because it has a division of the hoof but does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you; from their meat you shall not eat, and you shall not touch their carcasses.
9. “This is what you shall eat from all that is in the water: everything that has fins and scales you may eat.
10. But anything that does not have fins and scales, you may not eat, for it is unclean for you.
