"You are the children of the Lord your God; you shall not cut yourselves nor shave the front of your head for the dead.
2
For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.
3
"You shall not eat any detestable thing.
4
These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat,
5
the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, the mountain goat, the antelope, and the mountain sheep.
6
And you may eat every animal with cloven hooves, having the hoof split into two parts, and that chews the cud, among the animals.
7
Nevertheless, of those that chew the cud or have cloven hooves, you shall not eat, such as these: the camel, the hare, and the rock hyrax; for they chew the cud but do not have cloven hooves; they are unclean for you.
