   Deuteronomy Chapter 14   
      
   1 Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves,   
   nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.   
      
   2 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath   
   chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations   
   that are upon the earth.   
      
   3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.   
      
   4 These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,   
      
   5 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and   
   the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.   
      
   6 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two   
   claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat.   
      
   7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of   
   them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the   
   coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they   
   are unclean unto you.   
      
   8 And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud,   
   it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their   
   dead carcase.   
      
   9 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins   
   and scales shall ye eat:   
      
   10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean   
   unto you.   
      
   11 Of all clean birds ye shall eat.   
      
   12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the   
   ossifrage, and the ospray,   
      
   13 And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,   
      
   14 And every raven after his kind,   
      
   15 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after   
   his kind,   
      
   16 The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,   
      
   17 And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,   
      
   18 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the   
   bat.   
      
   19 And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall   
   not be eaten.   
      
   20 But of all clean fowls ye may eat.   
      
   21 Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give   
   it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou   
   mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the LORD   
   thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.   
      
   22 Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field   
   bringeth forth year by year.   
      
   23 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he   
   shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy   
   wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy   
   flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.   
      
   24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to   
   carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God   
   shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:   
      
   25 Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine   
   hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:   
      
   26 And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth   
   after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for   
   whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD   
   thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,   
      
   27 And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him;   
   for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.   
      
   28 At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of   
   thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:   
      
   29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,)   
   and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within   
   thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy   
   God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.   
      
   Deuteronomy Chapter 15   
      
   1 At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.   
      
   2 And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth   
   ought unto his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his   
   neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD'S release.   
      
   3 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine   
   with thy brother thine hand shall release;   
      
   4 Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly   
   bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an   
   inheritance to possess it:   
      
   5 Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to   
   observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day.   
      
   6 For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou   
   shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt   
   reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.   
      
   7 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of   
   thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not   
   harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:   
      
   8 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend   
   him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.   
      
   9 Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The   
   seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil   
   against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto   
   the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee.   
      
   10 Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when   
   thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall   
   bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.   
      
   11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command   
   thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy   
   poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.   
      
   12 And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto   
   thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let   
   him go free from thee.   
      
   13 And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him   
   go away empty:   
      
   14 Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy   
   floor, and out of thy winepress: of that wherewith the LORD thy God hath   
   blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.   
      
   15 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of   
   Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this   
   thing to day.   
      
   16 And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee;   
   because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee;   
      
   17 Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust it through his ear unto the   
   door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy   
   maidservant thou shalt do likewise.   
      
   18 It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free   
   from thee; for he hath been worth a double hired servant to thee, in   
   serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all   
   that thou doest.
