thine hand: that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and have
compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;
[18] When thou shalt hearken
to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do
that which is right in the eyes of the LORD thy God.
Deut.14
[1] Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between
your eyes for the dead.
[2] for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen
thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.
[3] Thou shalt
not eat any abominable thing.
[4] These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the
goat,
[5] The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild
ox, and the chamois.
[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.
[7] 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 unclean unto you.
[8] And the swine, because it
divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch
their dead carcase.
[9] These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall
ye eat:
[10] And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.
[11] Of all
clean birds ye shall eat.
[12] But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and ossifrage, and
the ospray,
[13] And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
[14] And every raven after his
kind,
[15] And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
[16] The little
owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
[17] And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,
[18]
And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
[19] And every creeping thing
that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.
[20] But of all clean fowls ye may eat.
[21] 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 the LORD thy God. Thou
shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
[22] Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the
field bringeth forth year by year.
[23] And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, 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 the LORD thy God always.
[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
the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
[25]
Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place
which the LORD thy God shall choose:
[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 the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
[27]
And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with
thee.
[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 gates:
[29] And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with
thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and
shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which
thou doest.
Deut.15
[1] At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.
[2] And this is the manner of the release: Every
creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it;he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or
of his brother; because it is called the LORD's release.
[3] Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but
that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;
[4] Save when there shall be no poor among
you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance
to possess it:
[5] Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do
all these commandments which I command thee this day.
[6] For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as
he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign
