14. every raven of any kind,
15. the ostrich, the owl, the seagull, a hawk of any kind,
16. the little owl, the great owl, the white owl,
17. the pelican, the Egyptian vulture, the cormorant,
18. the stork, a heron of any kind, the hoopoe, and the bat.
19. All winged insects are unclean to you—they are not to be eaten.
20. You may eat any clean bird.
21. You are not to eat anything that dies of itself. You may give it to the outsider within your gates so that he may eat it or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a holy people to Adonai your God. You are not to boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.
22. “You will surely set aside a tenth of all the yield of your seed that comes from the field year by year.
23. You are to eat the tithe of your grain, your new wine, your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and flock, before Adonai your God in the place He chooses to make His Name dwell, so that you may learn to fear Adonai your God always.
24. Now suppose the way is too long for you, for you cannot carry the tithe because the place Adonai your God chooses to set His Name is too far from you. When Adonai your God blesses you,
25. then you are to exchange the tithe for silver, bind up the silver in your hand, and go to the place that Adonai your God chooses.
26. You may spend the money for whatever your soul desires—cattle, sheep, wine, strong drink, or whatever your soul asks of you. Then you will eat there before Adonai your God and rejoice—you and your household.
27. But you are not to neglect the Levite within your gates, for he has no portion or inheritance with you.
28. At the end of every three years, you are to bring out all the tithe of your produce in that year and store it within your gates.
29. Then the Levite, because he has no portion or inheritance with you, along with the outsider, the orphan and the widow within your gates, will come and eat and be satisfied, so that Adonai your God may bless you in all the work of your hand that you do.
