1 You are the children of the Lord your God. When someone dies, do not cut yourselves or shave your heads to show your sadness.
2 You are holy people. You belong to the Lord your God. He has chosen you from all the people on earth to be his very own.
3 Do not eat anything the Lord hates.
4 These are the animals you may eat: ox, sheep, goats,
5 deer, gazelle, roe deer, wild goats, ibex, antelope and mountain sheep.
