Deuteronomy 14:3–21

³You must not eat any detestable thing. ⁴These are the animals that you may eat:^a

The ox, the sheep, the goat,

⁵the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer,

the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope,

and the mountain sheep.

⁶You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and that chews the cud.

⁷But of those that chew the cud or have a completely divided hoof, you are not to eat the following:

the camel,

the rabbit,

or the rock badger.^b

Although they chew the cud, they do not have a divided hoof. They are unclean for you, ⁸as well as the pig; though it has a divided hoof, it does not chew the cud. It is unclean for you. You must not eat its meat or touch its carcass.

⁹Of all the creatures that live in the water, you may eat anything with fins and scales, ¹⁰but you may not eat anything that does not have fins and scales; it is unclean for you.

¹¹You may eat any clean bird, ¹²but these you may not eat:

the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture,

¹³the red kite, the falcon, any kind of kite,

¹⁴any kind of raven,

¹⁵the ostrich,^c the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,

¹⁶the little owl, the great owl, the white owl,

¹⁷the desert owl, the osprey, the cormorant,

¹⁸the stork, any kind of heron,

the hoopoe, or the bat.

¹⁹All flying insects are unclean for you; they may not be eaten. ²⁰But you may eat any clean bird.

²¹You are not to eat any carcass; you may give it to the foreigner residing within your gates, and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a holy people belonging to the LORD your God.

You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.
