1 You are children of the Lord, your God. You shall not gash yourselves nor shave the hair above your foreheads for the dead.
2 For you are a people holy to the Lord, your God; the Lord, your God, has chosen you from all the peoples on the face of the earth to be a people specially his own.
3 You shall not eat any abominable thing.
4 These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat,
5 the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the mountain sheep.
6 Any among the animals that has divided hooves, with the foot cloven in two, and that chews the cud you may eat.
7 But you shall not eat any of the following that chew the cud or have cloven hooves: the camel, the hare, and the rock badger, which indeed chew the cud, but do not have divided hooves; they are unclean for you.
