|
1. Ye H859 are the children H1121 of the LORD H3068 your God H430 : ye shall not H3808 cut yourselves H1413 , nor H3808 make H7760 any baldness H7144 between H996 your eyes H5869 for the dead H4191 .
|
|
2. You are holy people, who belong to the Lord your God. He has chosen you from all the people on earth to be his very own.
|
2. For H3588 thou H859 art a holy H6918 people H5971 unto the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , and the LORD H3068 hath chosen H977 thee to be H1961 a peculiar H5459 people H5971 unto himself , above all H4480 H3605 the nations H5971 that H834 are upon H5921 H6440 the earth H127 .
|
|

|
3. Thou shalt not H3808 eat H398 any H3605 abominable thing H8441 .

6. You may eat any animal that has a split hoof and chews the cud,
|
6. And every H3605 beast H929 that parteth H6536 the hoof H6541 , and cleaveth H8156 the cleft H8157 into two H8147 claws H6541 , and cheweth H5927 the cud H1625 among the beasts H929 , that ye shall eat H398 .
|
|
7. but you may not eat camels, rabbits, or rock badgers. These animals chew the cud, but they do not have split hoofs, so they are unclean for you.
|
7. Nevertheless H389 H853 these H2088 ye shall not H3808 eat H398 of them that chew H4480 H5927 the cud H1625 , or of them that divide H4480 H6536 the cloven H8156 hoof H6541 ; as H853 the camel H1581 , and the hare H768 , and the coney H8227 : for H3588 they H1992 chew H5927 the cud H1625 , but divide H6536 not H3808 the hoof H6541 ; therefore they H1992 are unclean H2931 unto you.
|
|
8. Pigs are also unclean for you; they have split hoofs, but they do not chew the cud. Do not eat their meat or touch their dead bodies.
|
8. And the swine H2386 , because H3588 it H1931 divideth H6536 the hoof H6541 , yet cheweth not H3808 the cud H1625 , it H1931 is unclean H2931 unto you : ye shall not H3808 eat H398 of their flesh H4480 H1320 , nor H3808 touch H5060 their dead carcass H5038 .
|
|
9. There are many things that live in the water. You may eat anything that has fins and scales,
|
9. H853 These H2088 ye shall eat H398 of all H4480 H3605 that H834 are in the waters H4325 : all H3605 that H834 have fins H5579 and scales H7193 shall ye eat H398 :
|
|
10. but do not eat anything that does not have fins and scales. It is unclean for you.
|
10. And whatsoever H3605 H834 hath not H369 fins H5579 and scales H7193 ye may not H3808 eat H398 ; it H1931 is unclean H2931 unto you.

|
|

|
14. And every H3605 raven H6158 after his kind H4327 ,
|
|
15. horned owls, screech owls, sea gulls, any kind of hawk,
|
15. And the owl H1323 H3284 , and the night hawk H8464 , and the cuckoo H7828 , and the hawk H5322 after his kind H4327 ,
|
|
16. little owls, great owls, white owls,
|
16. H853 The little owl H3563 , and the great owl H3244 , and the swan H8580 ,

|
20. But of all H3605 clean H2889 fowls H5775 ye may eat H398 .
|
|
21. Do not eat anything you find that is already dead. You may give it to a foreigner living in your town, and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. But you are holy people, who belong to the Lord your God. Do not cook a baby goat in its mother's milk.
|
21. Ye shall not H3808 eat H398 of any H3605 thing that dieth of itself H5038 : thou shalt give H5414 it unto the stranger H1616 that H834 is in thy gates H8179 , that he may eat H398 it; or H176 thou mayest sell H4376 it unto an alien H5237 : for H3588 thou H859 art a holy H6918 people H5971 unto the LORD H3068 thy God H430 . Thou shalt not H3808 seethe H1310 a kid H1423 in his mother H517 's milk H2461 .
|
|

|
|
23. Take it to the place the Lord your God will choose where he is to be worshiped. There, where you will be together with the Lord, eat the tenth of your grain, new wine, and oil, and eat the animals born first to your herds and flocks. Do this so that you will learn to respect the Lord your God always.
|
23. And thou shalt eat H398 before H6440 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , in the place H4725 which H834 he shall choose H977 to place H7931 his name H8034 there H8033 , the tithe H4643 of thy corn H1715 , of thy wine H8492 , and of thine oil H3323 , and the firstlings H1062 of thy herds H1241 and of thy flocks H6629 ; that H4616 thou mayest learn H3925 to fear H3372 H853 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 always H3605 H3117 .
|
|
24. But if the place the Lord will choose to be worshiped is too far away and he has blessed you so much you cannot carry a tenth,
|
24. And if H3588 the way H1870 be too long H7235 for H4480 thee , so that H3588 thou art not able H3201 H3808 to carry H5375 it; or if H3588 the place H4725 be too far H7368 from H4480 thee, which H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 shall choose H977 to set H7760 his name H8034 there H8033 , when H3588 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 hath blessed H1288 thee:
|
|
25. exchange your one-tenth for silver. Then take the silver with you to the place the Lord your God shall choose.
|
25. Then shalt thou turn H5414 it into money H3701 , and bind up H6696 the money H3701 in thine hand H3027 , and shalt go H1980 unto H413 the place H4725 which H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 shall choose H977 :
|
|
26. Use the silver to buy anything you wish -- cattle, sheep, wine, beer, or anything you wish. Then you and your family will eat and celebrate there before the Lord your God.
|
26. And thou shalt bestow H5414 that money H3701 for whatsoever H3605 H834 thy soul H5315 lusteth after H183 , for oxen H1241 , or for sheep H6629 , or for wine H3196 , or for strong drink H7941 , or for whatsoever H3605 H834 thy soul H5315 desireth H7592 : and thou shalt eat H398 there H8033 before H6440 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , and thou shalt rejoice H8055 , thou H859 , and thine household H1004 ,
|
|
27. Do not forget the Levites in your town, because they have no land of their own among you.
|
27. And the Levite H3881 that H834 is within thy gates H8179 ; thou shalt not H3808 forsake H5800 him; for H3588 he hath no H369 part H2506 nor inheritance H5159 with H5973 thee.
|
|
28. At the end of every third year, everyone should bring one-tenth of that year's crop and store it in your towns.
|
28. At the end H4480 H7097 of three H7969 years H8141 thou shalt bring forth H3318 H853 all H3605 the tithe H4643 of thine increase H8393 the same H1931 year H8141 , and shalt lay it up H5117 within thy gates H8179 :
|
|
29. This is for the Levites so they may eat and be full. (They have no land of their own among you.) It is also for strangers, orphans, and widows who live in your towns so that all of them may eat and be full. Then the Lord your God will bless you and all the work you do.
|
29. And the Levite H3881 , ( because H3588 he hath no H369 part H2506 nor inheritance H5159 with H5973 thee,) and the stranger H1616 , and the fatherless H3490 , and the widow H490 , which H834 are within thy gates H8179 , shall come H935 , and shall eat H398 and be satisfied H7646 ; that H4616 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 may bless H1288 thee in all H3605 the work H4639 of thine hand H3027 which H834 thou doest H6213 .
