Deuteronomy 14:3-21

Wycliffe Bible

³ Eat ye not those things that be unclean.

⁴ This is a beast which ye shall eat (These be the beasts which ye shall eat); an ox, and a sheep, and a goat,

⁵ an hart, a capret, a wild ox, (a) tragelaph, that is, a beast in part like a goat buck, and in part like an hart, a pygarg, an ostrich, a camelopard. (a deer, a gazelle, a wild ox, or a buffalo, a tragelaph, that is, a beast in part like a goat buck, and in part like a deer, an antelope, an ostrich, and a giraffe.)

⁶ Ye shall eat each beast that parteth the claw into two parts, and cheweth the cud. (Ye may eat any beast which hath a divided hoof, or foot, and cheweth the cud.)

⁷ And ye shall not eat these beasts, of them that chew the cud, and part not the claw; a camel, an hare, and a coney; for these chew the cud, and part not the claw, they shall be unclean to you; (But ye shall not eat those beasts, which chew the cud, but do not have a divided hoof, or foot; such as a camel, a hare, and a rock-badger; for these chew the cud, but do not have a divided hoof, or foot, and so they shall be unclean to you;)

⁸ also a swine, for it parteth the claw, and cheweth not the cud, shall be unclean (and a pig, for it hath a divided hoof, but it cheweth not the cud, and so it shall be unclean); ye shall not eat the flesh of them, and ye shall not touch their dead bodies.

⁹ Ye shall eat these things, of all that dwell in waters (Of all the things that live in water, these ye shall eat); eat ye those things that have fins and scales;

¹⁰ eat ye not those things that be without fins and scales, for those be unclean.

¹¹ Eat ye all clean birds;

¹² (but) eat ye not unclean birds, that is, an eagle, and a gripe, and an aliet,

¹³ an heron, and a vulture, and a kite by his kind,

¹⁴ and all thing of ravens’ kind,

¹⁵ and a struthio, and a night crow, and a lari, and an hawk by his kind,

¹⁶ a falcon, and a swan, and a ciconia,

¹⁷ and a dipper, a porphyrio, and a rearmouse, a cormorant,

¹⁸ and a calidris, all in their kind; also a lapwing and a bat.

¹⁹ And all thing that creepeth, and hath fins, shall be unclean, and shall not be eaten. (And all insects that both creep and fly, shall be unclean, and shall not be eaten.)

²⁰ Eat ye all thing (that creepeth,) and that is clean; (But ye can eat all clean insects.)

²¹ but whatever thing is dead by itself, eat ye not thereof. Give thou (it as) meat to the pilgrim that is within thy gates, that he eat (it), either sell thou (it as) meat to him, for thou art an holy people of thy Lord God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk. (Whatever thing that dieth a natural death, ye shall not eat. Give thou it as food to the foreigner, or the stranger, who is within thy gates, so that he can eat it, or sell thou it to him for food, but thou art a holy people of the Lord thy God, and thou shalt not eat it. And thou shalt not boil a kid in his mother’s milk.)
