1 “You are the children of יהוה your Elohim. Do not cut yourselves nor shave the front of your head for the dead,
2 for you are a set-apart people to יהוה your Elohim, and יהוה has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a treasured possession above all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.
3 “Do not eat whatever is abominable.
4 “These are the living creatures which you do eat: ox, sheep, and goat,
5 deer, and gazelle, and roebuck, and wild goat, and mountain goat, and antelope, and mountain sheep.
6 “And every beast that has a split hoof divided in two, chewing the cud, among the beasts, you do eat.
