   Genesis 4   
   3    In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil   
   as an offering to the LORD.   
   4    But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his   
         flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,   
   5    but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain   
         was very angry, and his face was downcast.   
      
   Genesis 9   
   1    Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, "Be fruitful   
         and increase in number and fill the earth.   
   2    The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the   
   earth   
         and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves   
   along   
         the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given   
   into   
         your hands.   
   3    Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I   
   gave   
         you the green plants, I now give you everything.   
   4    "But you must not eat meat that has its lifeblood still in it.   
   5    And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will   
   demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too,   
         I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man.   
      
   Exodus 12   
   1    The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt,   
   2    "This month is to be for you the first month, the first month of   
         your year.   
   3    Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this   
         month each man is to take a lamb for his family, one for each   
         household.   
   [...]   
   6    Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when   
         all the people of the community of Israel must slaughter them   
         at twilight.   
   7    Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides   
         and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the   
         lambs.   
   8    That same night they are to eat the meat roasted over the fire,   
         along with bitter herbs, and bread made without yeast.   
   9    Do not eat the meat raw or cooked in water, but roast it over   
         the fire-head, legs and inner parts.   
   [...]   
   14  "This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come   
   you   
         shall celebrate it as a festival to the LORD -a lasting   
   ordinance.   
      
   Leviticus 1   
   1    The LORD called to Moses and spoke to him from the Tent of   
   Meeting.   
         He said,   
   2    "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: `When any of you brings   
   an   
         offering to the LORD, bring as your offering an animal from   
   either   
         the herd or the flock.   
   3    "`If the offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to   
   offer   
         a male without defect. He must present it at the entrance to the   
   Tent   
         of Meeting so that it[1] will be acceptable to the LORD.   
   4    He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it   
   will   
         be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.   
   5    He is to slaughter the young bull before the LORD, and then   
   Aaron's   
         sons the priests shall bring the blood and sprinkle it against   
   the   
         altar on all sides at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.   
   6    He is to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.   
   7    The sons of Aaron the priest are to put fire on the altar and   
   arrange   
         wood on the fire.   
   8    Then Aaron's sons the priests shall arrange the pieces, including   
   the   
         head and the fat, on the burning wood that is on the altar.   
   9    He is to wash the inner parts and the legs with water, and the   
   priest   
         is to burn all of it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an   
   offering   
         made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the LORD.   
      
   Leviticus 12   
   6    " 'When the days of her purification for a son or daughter are   
   over,   
         she is to bring to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of   
   Meeting a   
         year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a dove   
   for   
         a sin offering.   
   7    He shall offer them before the LORD to make atonement for her,   
   and   
         then she will be ceremonially clean from her flow of blood. "   
   'These are   
         the regulations for the woman who gives birth to a boy or a   
   girl.   
   8    If she cannot afford a lamb, she is to bring two doves or two   
   young   
         pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin   
   offering. In this   
         way the priest will make atonement for her, and she will be   
   clean.' "   
      
   Deuteronomy 12   
   15  Nevertheless, you may slaughter your animals in any of your   
         towns and eat as much of the meat as you want, as if it were   
         gazelle or deer, according to the blessing the LORD your   
         God gives you. Both the ceremonially unclean and the clean   
         may eat it.   
      
   Deuteronomy 14   
   4    These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the   
         goat,   
   5    the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, the ibex,   
         the antelope and the mountain sheep.   
   6    You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and   
         that chews the cud.   
   7    However, of those that chew the cud or that have a split hoof   
         completely divided you may not eat the camel, the rabbit or the   
         coney. Although they chew the cud, they do not have a split   
         hoof; they are ceremonially unclean for you.   
   8    The pig is also unclean; although it has a split hoof, it does   
   not   
         chew the cud. You are not to eat their meat or touch their   
         carcasses.   
   9    Of all the creatures living in the water, you may eat any that   
   has   
         fins and scales.   
   10  But anything that does not have fins and scales you may not eat;   
         for you it is unclean.   
   11  You may eat any clean bird.   
   12  But these you may not eat: the eagle, the vulture, the black   
   vulture,   
   13  the red kite, the black kite, any kind of falcon,   
   14  any kind of raven,   
   15  the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,   
   16  the little owl, the great owl, the white owl,   
   17  the desert owl, the osprey, the cormorant,   
   18  the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe and the bat.   
   19  All flying insects that swarm are unclean to you; do not eat them.   
   20  But any winged creature that is clean you may eat.   
   21  Do not eat anything you find already dead. You may give it to an   
         alien living in any of your towns, and he may eat it, or you may   
   sell it to a foreigner. But you are a people holy to the LORD your   
         God. Do not cook a young goat in its mother's milk.   
      
   1 Kings 8   
   5    and King Solomon and the entire assembly of Israel that had   
         gathered about him were before the ark, sacrificing so many   
   sheep   
         and cattle that they could not be recorded or counted.
