New Living Translation

Deuteronomy 14:8-20 New Living Translation (NLT)

8. And you may not eat the pig. It has split hooves but does not chew the cud, so it is ceremonially unclean for you. You may not eat the meat of these animals or even touch their carcasses.

9. “Of all the marine animals, you may eat whatever has both fins and scales.

10. You may not, however, eat marine animals that do not have both fins and scales. They are ceremonially unclean for you.

11. “You may eat any bird that is ceremonially clean.

12. These are the birds you may not eat: the griffon vulture, the bearded vulture, the black vulture,

13. the kite, the falcon, buzzards of all kinds,

14. ravens of all kinds,

15. the eagle owl, the short-eared owl, the seagull, hawks of all kinds,

16. the little owl, the great owl, the barn owl,

17. the desert owl, the Egyptian vulture, the cormorant,

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.
