16. the little owl, the great owl, the horned owl,
17. the pelican, the vulture, the cormorant,
18. the stork, the heron after its kind, the hoopoe, and the bat.
19. All winged creeping things are unclean to you. They shall not be eaten.
20. Of all clean birds you may eat.
21. You shall not eat of anything that dies of itself. You may give it to the foreigner living among you who is within your gates, that he may eat it; or you may sell it to a foreigner; for you are a holy people to Yahweh your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.
22. You shall surely tithe all the increase of your seed, that which comes out of the field year by year.
23. You shall eat before Yahweh your God, in the place which he chooses, to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock; that you may learn to fear Yahweh your God always.
24. If the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it, because the place is too far from you, which Yahweh your God shall choose, to set his name there, when Yahweh your God shall bless you;
25. then you shall turn it into money, and bind up the money in your hand, and shall go to the place which Yahweh your God shall choose.
26. You shall trade the money for whatever your soul desires, for cattle, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever your soul asks of you; and you shall eat there before Yahweh your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household.
