1 “You are children of Yahweh your God; therefore you must not gash yourself, and you must not make your forehead bald for the dead.
2 For you are a people holy to Yahweh your God, and you Yahweh has chosen to be a treasured possession from among all of the peoples that are on the surface of the earth.
3 You shall not eat any detestable thing.
4 These are the animals you may eat: ox, sheep, goats,
5 deer, gazelle, roebuck, wild goat, ibex, antelope, and mountain sheep.
6 And any animal having a split hoof and so a dividing of the hoof into two parts and that chews the cud among the animals—that animal you may eat.
7 Only these you may not eat from those chewing the cud and from those having a division of the hoof: the camel and the hare and the coney, because they chew the cud, but they do not divide the hoof; they are therefore unclean for you.
