Deuteronomy 14 — Side by side (WEB, ASV, DRA)

1Ye are the children of Jehovah your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.

1Be ye children of the Lord your God: you shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness for the dead;

2For thou art a holy people unto Jehovah thy God, and Jehovah hath chosen thee to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples that are upon the face of the earth.

2Because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God: and he chose thee to be his peculiar people of all nations that are upon the earth.

3Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.

3Eat not the things that are unclean.

4These are the beasts which ye may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,

4These are the beasts that you shall eat, the ox, and the sheep, and the goat,

5the hart, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the antelope, and the chamois.

5The hart and the roe, the buffle, the chamois, the pygarg, the wild goat, the camelopardalus.

6And every beast that parteth the hoof, and hath the hoof cloven in two, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.

6Every beast that divideth the hoof in two parts, and cheweth the cud, you shall eat.

7Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that have the hoof cloven: the camel, and the hare, and the coney; because they chew the cud but part not the hoof, they are unclean unto you.

7But of them that chew the cud, but divide not the hoof, you shall not eat, such as the camel, the hare, and the cherogril: because they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof, they shall be unclean to you.

8And the swine, because he parteth the hoof but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you: of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch.

8The swine also, because it divideth the hoof, but cheweth not the cud, shall be unclean, their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch.

9These ye may eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales may ye eat;

9These shall you eat of all that abide in the waters: All that have fins and scales, you shall eat.

10and whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye shall not eat; it is unclean unto you.

10Such as are without fins and scales, you shall not eat, because they are unclean.

11Of all clean birds ye may eat.

11All birds that are clean you shall eat.

12But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the gier-eagle, and the ospray,

12The unclean eat not: to wit, the eagle, and the grype, and the osprey,

13and the glede, and the falcon, and the kite after its kind,

13The ringtail, and the vulture, and the kite according to their kind:

14and every raven after its kind,

14And all of the raven's kind:

15and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-mew, and the hawk after its kind,

15And the ostrich, and the owl, and the larus, and the hawk according to its kind:

16the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl,

16The heron, and the swan, and the stork,

17and the pelican, and the vulture, and the cormorant,

17And the cormorant, the porphirion, and the night crow,

18and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

18The bittern, and the charadrion, every one in their kind: the houp also and the bat.

19And all winged creeping things are unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.

19Every thing that creepeth, and hath little wings, shall be unclean, and shall not be eaten.

20Of all clean birds ye may eat.

20All that is clean, you shall eat.

21Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself: thou mayest give it unto the sojourner that is within thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto a foreigner: for thou art a holy people unto Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.

21But whatsoever is dead of itself, eat not thereof. Give it to the stranger, that is within thy gates, to eat, or sell it to him: because thou art the holy people of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in the milk of his dam.

22Thou shalt surely tithe all the increase of thy seed, that which cometh forth from the field year by year.

22Every year thou shalt set aside the tithes of all thy fruits that the earth bringeth forth,

23And thou shalt eat before Jehovah thy God, in the place which he shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, the tithe of thy grain, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flock; that thou mayest learn to fear Jehovah thy God always.

23And thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose, that his name may be called upon therein, the tithe of thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil, and the firstborn of thy herds and thy sheep: that thou mayst learn to fear the Lord thy God at all times.

24And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, because the place is too far from thee, which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to set his name there, when Jehovah thy God shall bless thee;

24But when the way and the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, are far off, and he hath blessed thee, and thou canst not carry all these things thither,

25then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thy hand, and shalt go unto the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose:

25Thou shalt sell them all, and turn them into money, and shalt carry it in thy hand, and shalt go to the place which the Lord shall choose:

26and thou shalt bestow the money for whatsoever thy soul desireth, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul asketh of thee; and thou shalt eat there before Jehovah thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou and thy household.

26And thou shalt buy with the same money whatsoever pleaseth thee, either of the herds or of sheep, wine also and strong drink, and all that thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat before the Lord thy God, and shalt feast, thou and thy house:

27And the Levite that is within thy gates, thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee.

27And the Levite that is within thy gates, beware thou forsake him not, because he hath no other part in thy possession.

28At the end of every three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase in the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:

28The third year thou shalt separate another tithe of all things that grow to thee at that time, and shalt lay it up within thy gates.

29and the Levite, because he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou doest.

29And the Levite that hath no other part nor possession with thee, and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow, that are within thy gates, shall come and shall eat and be filled: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the works of thy hands that thou shalt do.
