1 “You are the people of the Lord your God. So when you mourn for the dead, don't gash yourselves or shave the front of your head, as other people do.
2 You belong to the Lord your God; he has chosen you to be his own people from among all the peoples who live on earth.
3 “Do not eat anything that the Lord has declared unclean.
4 You may eat these animals: cattle, sheep, goats,
5 deer, wild sheep, wild goats, or antelopes —
6 any animals that have divided hoofs and that also chew the cud.
