1 filii estote Domini Dei vestri
non vos incidetis nec facietis calvitium super mortuo
2 quoniam populus sanctus es Domino Deo tuo
et te elegit ut sis ei in populum peculiarem
de cunctis gentibus quae sunt super terram
3 ne comedatis quae inmunda sunt
4 hoc est animal quod comedere debetis bovem et ovem et capram
5 cervum capream bubalum
tragelaphum pygargon orygem camelopardalum
6 omne animal quod in duas partes ungulam findit et ruminat
comedetis
7 de his autem quae ruminant et ungulam non findunt
haec comedere non debetis
camelum leporem choerogyllium
quia ruminant et non dividunt ungulam
inmunda erunt vobis
8 sus quoque quoniam dividit ungulam et non ruminat inmunda erit
carnibus eorum non vescemini
et cadavera non tangetis
9 haec comedetis ex omnibus quae morantur in aquis
quae habent pinnulas et squamas comedite
10 quae absque pinnulis et squamis sunt
ne comedatis quia inmunda sunt
11 omnes aves mundas comedite
12 inmundas ne comedatis aquilam scilicet et grypem et alietum
13 ixon et vulturem ac milvum iuxta genus suum
14 et omne corvini generis
15 strutionem ac noctuam et larum
atque accipitrem iuxta genus suum
16 herodium et cycnum et ibin
17 ac mergulum
porphirionem et nycticoracem
18 onocrotalum et charadrium
singula in genere suo
upupam quoque et vespertilionem
19 et omne quod reptat et pinnulas habet
inmundum erit nec comedetur
20 omne quod mundum est comedite
21 quicquid morticinum est ne vescamini ex eo
peregrino qui intra portas tuas est da ut comedat aut vende ei
quia tu populus sanctus Domini Dei tui es
non coques hedum in lacte matris suae
22 decimam partem separabis de cunctis frugibus tuis
quae nascuntur in terra per annos singulos
23 et comedes in conspectu Domini Dei tui
in loco quem elegerit ut in eo nomen illius invocetur
decimam frumenti tui et vini et olei
et primogenita de armentis et ovibus tuis
ut discas timere Dominum Deum tuum omni tempore
24 cum autem longior fuerit via et locus quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus
tibique benedixerit nec potueris ad eum haec cuncta portare
25 vendes omnia et in pretium rediges portabisque manu tua
et proficisceris ad locum quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus
26 et emes ex eadem pecunia quicquid tibi placuerit
sive ex armentis sive ex ovibus
vinum quoque et siceram et omne quod desiderat anima tua
et comedes coram Domino Deo tuo
et epulaberis tu et domus tua
27 et Levita qui intra portas tuas est
cave ne derelinquas eum
quia non habet aliam partem in possessione tua
28 anno tertio separabis aliam decimam
ex omnibus quae nascuntur tibi eo tempore
et repones intra ianuas tuas
29 venietque Levites qui aliam non habet partem nec possessionem tecum
et peregrinus et pupillus ac vidua
qui intra portas tuas sunt
et comedent et saturabuntur ut benedicat tibi Dominus Deus tuus
in cunctis operibus manuum tuarum quae feceris
1 Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead. 2 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.
3 ¶ Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing. 4 These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat, 5 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois. 6 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat. 7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that 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 unclean unto you. 8 And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.
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 unclean unto you.
11 ¶ Of all clean birds ye shall eat. 12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, 13 And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind, 14 And every raven after his kind, 15 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, 16 The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan, 17 And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant, 18 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat. 19 And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten. 20 But of all clean fowls ye may eat.
21 ¶ Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year. 23 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always. 24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee: 25 Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: 26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household, 27 And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
28 ¶ At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates: 29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.
