eat, the ox, the sheep kind and the goat kind, the stag and gazelle, and roebuck, and chamois, and ahtelope and springbok, and bison, with all cattle that divide the hoof and chew the cucl,———those animals you may eat. But of these, who chew the cud you may not eat, although they divide the hoof; the camel, and the kangaroo, and the rabbit, who chew the cud, but do not divide the hoof ; they are unclean to you, with the hog, although it divides the hoof, yet it does not chew. It is unclean to you. You shall not eat of its llesh or touch its dead body. You may eat of these among all
that are in the waters,-·—all that have tins and scales you may eat, but of all that have not fins and scales, you may not eat. They are unclean to you. You may eat every clean bird.
But. you may not eat of these,—»the eagle, and the osprey, the buzzard and kite; with their species, and the whole of the raven species; and the ostrich, and the night—hawk, and the sea-gull, and the cormoraut, with their species; with the pelican, the snake-eater, and the bittem, and the vomiter, and the eag1e—vulture, and the turkey·buzzard, with the stork, and the shorter, with their species; and the hoopoo and the bat ; and all the winged spawners are unclean to you,-·—-you may not eat them. You may eat-every clean bird, but you may not eat any seltidying carcase ; give them to the foreigner who resides among you to be eaten, or sell to merchants; for you area People con— secrated to your Evan-Livmo Gon. You shall not boil a kid in its mothe1·’s milk. You shall tithe the whole of the
produce of your grain, as it comes from the field year by year, and you shall eat of it before your EVER- LIVING GOD, in the place that He chooses to fix His Name,-both of your com, and wine, and oil ; and of the blessings of your herd and Hook, so that you may learn to reverence your Evan:-Lrvmo Gon at all times. But if the journey is too long for you to be able to carry it because the place which your Evan.-1.1v1No Gon has chosen to fix His Name in is too far from y0u,——·then you shall bless your EVER-L1v1NG GOD, and convert it into money, and take the money in your hand, and go to the place that your Evan-Lrvrnc; Gon has chosen for Himself, and expend that money in all that your life requires, in-oxen, and sheep, and wine, and Hesh, and in all that your life de- mands, and eat them there before your EvER·L1v1NG GOD, and enjoy your- self with your family. But you shall not forget the Levite who is in your villages, for he has no inheritance 22 26
and share with you. At the end of 28 the third year you shall bring the whole of the tithe of your produce in that year, and leave your villages. The Levite shall also come, for he 29 has no share or inheritance, with you, and the foreigner, along with the fatherless, and the widow who are in your villages, and they shall eat, and be satisfied, because your EvER—L1v1NG GOD has blessed you in all the work of your hands which you have done. At the end of seven years, there
shall be a releasing, and this is the kind of releasing.-Every possessor of mortgaged land which his neigh- bour has mortgaged shall release it, he shall have no claim against his neighbour or his brother, because it is a Release by the Evan-Lrvmo. You may have a claim against foreigners, but you must release from your hand what belongs to your brothers for nothing, for you will not be poor yourself, because blessing, the EVER-LIVING will bless you in e9.- 15
