Deuteronomy 14:18-23 New Living Translation (NLT)

18. the stork, herons of all kinds, the hoopoe, and the bat.

19. “All winged insects that walk along the ground are ceremonially unclean for you and may not be eaten.

20. But you may eat any winged bird or insect that is ceremonially clean.

21. “You must not eat anything that has died a natural death. You may give it to a foreigner living in your town, or you may sell it to a stranger. But do not eat it yourselves, for you are set apart as holy to the lord your God.“You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.

22. “You must set aside a tithe of your crops—one-tenth of all the crops you harvest each year.

23. Bring this tithe to the designated place of worship—the place the lord your God chooses for his name to be honored—and eat it there in his presence. This applies to your tithes of grain, new wine, olive oil, and the firstborn males of your flocks and herds. Doing this will teach you always to fear the lord your God.
