Tahor and Tamei Foods (1-21)

14:1 (iv) Be Set Apart unto Elohim

Ye [are] the children of YHWH  Eloheichem: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.

14:2 For thou [art] am kodesh unto YHWH  Eloheicha, and YHWH (יהוה) hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that [are] upon the earth.

14:3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.

14:4 These [are] the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,

14:5 The ayal (stag male deer hart), and the gazelle, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the antelope, and the wild ox, and the chamois (gazelle, zemer).

14:6 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.

14:7 [n172N6] 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] tamei unto you.

14:8 And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it [is] tamei unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.

14:9 These ye shall eat of all that [are] in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:

14:10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it [is] tamei unto you.

14:11 [Of] all tahor birds ye shall eat.

14:12 But these [are they] of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,

14:13 And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,

14:14 And every raven after his kind,

14:15 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,

14:16 The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,

14:17 And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,

14:18 And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

14:19 [n182]And every creeping thing that flieth [is] tamei unto you: they shall not be eaten.

14:20 [But of] all tahor fowls ye may eat.

14:21 [n180]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 YHWH  Eloheicha. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.

14:22 (v) Tithe Annually

Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.

14:23 And thou shalt eat before YHWH  Eloheicha, 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 YHWH  Eloheicha always.

14:24 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 YHWH Eloheicha shall choose to set His Name there, when YHWH Eloheicha hath blessed thee:

14:25 Then shalt thou turn [it] into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which YHWH Eloheicha shall choose:

14:26 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 YHWH Eloheicha, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,

14:27 And the Leviim that [is] within thy she'arim; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.

14:28 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 she'arim:

14:29 And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the orphans, and the widow, which [are] within thy she'arim, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that YHWH Eloheicha may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.

General Rules

Although the details of kashrut are extensive, the laws all derive from a few fairly simple, straightforward rules:

Certain animals may not be eaten at all. This restriction includes the flesh, organs, eggs and milk of the forbidden animals.

Of the animals that may be eaten, the birds and mammals must be killed in accordance with Jewish law.

All blood must be drained from the meat or broiled out of it before it is eaten.

Certain parts of permitted animals may not be eaten.

Meat (the flesh of birds and mammals) cannot be eaten with dairy. Fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables and grains can be eaten with either meat or dairy. (According to some views, fish may not be eaten with meat).

Utensils that have come into contact with meat may not be used with dairy, and vice versa. Utensils that have come into contact with non-kosher food may not be used with kosher food. This applies only where the contact occurred while the food was hot.

Grape products made by non-Jews may not be eaten.
