1 "Be sons of the Lord your God. You shall not cut yourselves, nor make yourselves bald, because of the dead.
2 For you are a holy people, for the Lord your God. And he chose you, so that you may be a people particularly his, out of all the nations on earth.
3 You shall not eat the things that are unclean.
4 These are the animals which you ought to eat: the ox, and the sheep, and the goat,
5 the stag and the roe deer, the gazelle, the wild goat, the addax, the antelope, the giraffe.
6 Every beast which has a hoof divided into two parts and which also chews the cud, you shall eat.
