1 Ye are the sons of the Lord your God: ye shall not cut yourselves nor make any baldness over your eyes for the dead.
2 For thou art a holy people unto the Lord thy God, and the Lord has chosen thee to be a unique people unto himself from among all the peoples that are upon the face of the earth.
3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
4 These are the animals which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
5 the hart and the roebuck and the buffalo and the wild goat and the unicorn (rhinoceros) and the wild ox and the mountain goat,
6 and every animal that parts the hoof and cleaves the cleft into two claws and chews the cud among the beasts that ye shall eat.
7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of those that chew the cud or of those that divide the cloven hoof: the camel and the hare and the coney, for they chew the cud, but do not divide the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you;
