Chapter 14
Deuteronomy Chapter 14 Repeat and Remind What is Written in the Book of Leviticus on Matters of Clean and Unclean Animals for Food
It Is Always Easy To Say, “I Love G-d,” “G-d First,” “To G-d Be The Glory.”
Let’s see how sincere you are in this chapter on matters of saying “No” to food that G-d said, “You May Not Eat.”
If you indeed, “Keep His Commandments.”
*Or everything is just a “Show.”
“A Treasured People”
“Permitted and Forbidden Food”
You are children to Hashem, your God – …
14:1
For you are a holy people to Hashem, your God, and Hashem has chosen you for Himself to be a treasured people, from all the peoples on the face of the earth.
14:2
You shall not eat any abomination.
14:3
These are the animals that you may eat: … And every animal that has a split hoof, which is completely separated in two hooves, that brings up its cud among animals – it may you eat.
:4-6
But this shall you not eat from among those that bring up their cud or have a completely separated split hoof: the camel, the hare, and the hyrax, for they bring up their cud, but their hoof is not split – they are unclean to you;
:7
and the pig, for it has a split hoof, but not the cud – it is unclean to you; from their flesh you shall not eat and you shall not touch their carcasses.
:8
This you may eat of everything that is in the water: anything that has fins and scales you may eat.
:9
And anything that does not have fins or scales you shall not eat; it is unclean to you.
:10
Every clean bird, you may eat.
:11 & 20
And every flying swarming creature is unclean to you; they shall not be eaten.
:19
You shall not eat any carcass; to the stranger who is in your cities shall you give it that he may eat it, or sell it to a gentile, for you are a holy people to Hashem, your God; you shall not cook a kid in its mother’s milk.
:21
You shall tithe the entire crop of your planting, the produce of the field, year by year.
:22
You shall not forsake the Levite who is in your cities, for he has no portion or inheritance with you.
:27
1 You are children of the Lord, your God. You shall neither cut yourselves nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
2 For you are a holy people to the Lord, your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a treasured people for Him, out of all the nations that are upon the earth.
3 You shall not eat any abomination.
4 These are the animals that you may eat: ox, lamb, and kid,
5 gazelle, deer, and antelope, ibex, chamois, bison, and giraffe.
6 And every animal that has a split hoof and has a hoof cloven into two hoof sections, [and] chews the cud among the animals that you may eat.
7 But you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those that have the split hooves: the cloven one, the camel, the hyrax, and the hare, for they chew the cud, but do not have split hooves; they are unclean for you.
8 And the pig, because it has a split hoof, but does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you. You shall neither eat of their flesh nor touch their carcass.
9 These you may eat of all that are in the waters; all that have fins and scales, you may eat.
10 But whatever does not have fins and scales, you shall not eat; it is unclean for you.
11 You may eat every clean bird.
12 But these are those from which you shall not eat: The eagle [or the griffin vulture], the ossifrage, the osprey;
13 and the white vulture, and the black vulture, and the kite after its species;
14 And every raven after its species;
15 And the ostrich, and the owl, and the gull, and the hawk after its species;
16 The falcon, and the ibis, and the bat;
17 And the pelican, and the magpie, and the cormorant;
18 And the stork, and the heron and its species, and the hoopoe, and the atalef.
19 And every flying insect is unclean for you; they may not be eaten.
20 You may eat any clean fowl.
21 You shall not eat any carcass. You may give it to the stranger who is in your cities, that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner; for you are a holy people to the Lord, your God. You shall not cook a kid in its mother’s milk.
22 You shall tithe all the seed crop that the field gives forth, year by year.
23 And you shall eat before the Lord, your God, in the place He chooses to establish His Name therein, the tithes of your grain, your wine, and your oil, and the firstborn of your cattle and of your sheep, so that you may learn to fear the Lord, your God, all the days.
24 And if the way be too long for you, that you are unable to carry it, for the place which the Lord, your God, will choose to establish His Name therein, is too far from you, for the Lord, your God, will bless you
25 Then you shall turn it into money, and bind up the money in your hand, and you shall go to the place the Lord, your God, will choose.
26 And you shall turn that money into whatever your soul desires; cattle, sheep, new wine or old wine, or whatever your soul desires, and you shall eat there before the Lord, your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household.
27 And [as for] the Levite who is in your cities you shall not forsake him, for he has neither portion nor inheritance with you.
28 At the end of three years, you shall take out all the tithe of your crop in that year and place it in your cities.
29 And the Levite because he has no portion or inheritance with you and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are in your cities, will come and eat and be satisfied; so that the Lord, your God, will bless you in all the work of your hand that you will do.

TORAH
(Law)
The book of Deuteronomy, also known as Devarim in Hebrew (“Words”), is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament. It contains a series of speeches by Moses to the Israelites, just before they are about to enter the promised land, which summarize and expand upon many of the laws and commandments given in the earlier books of the Torah. The word Deuteronomy literally means “second law,” indicating that Moses is rehearsing the law with the Israelites before they enter the land.
The book is often seen as a sort of farewell address by Moses, containing some of his final instructions and blessings to the people he has led for many years. It emphasizes the importance of following G-d’s commandments and remaining faithful to Him, while warning against the dangers of disobedience and idolatry. Overall, Deuteronomy serves as a significant text in the history of Judaism and Christianity, containing many of the foundational beliefs and values of these religions.
