Devarim 14:7-23 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

7. Nevertheless, these ye shall not eat of them that only chew the cud, or of them that only divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney; for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are tameh (unclean) unto you.

8. And the chazir, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is tameh (unclean) unto you; ye shall not eat of their basar, nor touch their nevelah (dead carcass).

9. These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat,

10. And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is tameh (unclean) unto you.

11. Of all tahorah (clean) birds ye shall eat.

12. But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the nesher, and the vulture, and the bearded vulture,

13. And the kite, and the buzzard after its kind,

14. And every raven after its kind,

15. And the owl, and the night hawk, and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind,

16. The little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl,

17. And the pelican, and the osprey, and the cormorant,

18. And the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

19. And every creeping thing that flieth is tameh (unclean) unto you; they shall not be eaten.

20. But of all tahor (clean) fowls ye may eat.

21. Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself; thou shalt give it unto the ger that is in thy she'arim, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien; for thou art an Am Kadosh unto Hashem Eloheicha. Thou shalt not boil a young goat in its mother's cholov.

22. Thou shalt truly give ma'aser (tithe) of all the increase of thy zera, that the sadeh bringeth forth year by year.

23. And thou shalt eat before Hashem Eloheicha, in the place which He shall choose to place Shmo there, the ma'aser (tithe) of thy dagan (grain), of thy tirosh (new wine), and of thine yitzhar (fresh oil), and the bekhorot (firstlings) of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to stand in awe of Hashem Eloheicha always.
