1 You are the Lord’s children. Don’t cut yourselves and don’t shave your foreheads for the dead,
2 because you are a people holy to the Lord your God. You are the ones whom the Lord selected to be his own, to be a treasured people out of all other people on earth.
3 Don’t eat any detestable thing.
4 Here’s a list of animals you are allowed to eat: ox, sheep, goat,
5 deer, gazelle, roebuck, wild goat, ibex, antelope, and mountain sheep.
