1. You are the children of Yahweh your God. You shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
2. For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God, and Yahweh has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.
3. You shall not eat any abominable thing.
4. These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat,
5. the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the chamois.
6. Every animal that parts the hoof, and has the hoof cloven in two and chews the cud, among the animals, that may you eat.
