Ezek. 4:14; [Acts 10:13, 14] “You shall not eat any abomination. 4#For ver. 4-20, see Lev. 11:2-23These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat, 5the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex,#14:5 Or addax the antelope, and the mountain sheep. 6Every animal that parts the hoof and has the hoof cloven in two and chews the cud, among the animals, you may eat. 7Yet of those that chew the cud or have the hoof cloven you shall not eat these: the camel, the hare, and the #Lev. 11:5; [Ps. 104:18; Prov. 30:26]rock badger, because they chew the cud but do not part the hoof, are unclean for you. 8And the pig, because it parts the hoof but does not chew the cud, is unclean for you. Their flesh you shall not eat, and #[Lev. 11:26]their carcasses you shall not touch.
9“Of all that are in the waters you may eat these: whatever has fins and scales you may eat. 10And whatever does not have fins and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean for you.

21 # See Lev. 7:24 “You shall not eat anything that has died naturally. You may give it to the sojourner who is within your towns, that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For #See ch. 7:6 you are a people holy to the Lord your God.

Tithes
22 # See Num. 18:21 “You shall tithe all the yield of your seed that comes from the field year by year. 23And before the Lord your God, in the place that he will choose, to make his name dwell there, #ch. 12:7; 15:20 you shall eat the tithe of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, #ch. 12:6 and the firstborn of your herd and flock, #ch. 4:10; 17:19that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always. 24And if the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, when the Lord your God blesses you, because #ch. 12:21the place is too far from you, which the Lord your God chooses, to set his name there, 25then you shall turn it into money and bind up the money in your hand and go to the place that the Lord your God chooses 26and spend the money for whatever you desire—oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your appetite craves. And #[See ver. 23 above]you shall eat there before the Lord your God and rejoice, you and your household. 27And you shall not neglect #See ch. 12:19 the Levite who is within your towns, for #See Num. 18:20he has no portion or inheritance with you.
28 # ch. 26:12; [Amos 4:4] “At the end of every three years you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce in the same year and lay it up within your towns. 29And the Levite, because #[See ver. 27 above] he has no portion or inheritance with you, and the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your towns, shall come and eat and be filled, that #ch. 15:10; 24:19; Ps. 41:1; Prov. 14:21; 19:17; 22:9; Mal. 3:10the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands that you do.

Clean and Unclean Food
Lev 11:1–23
1#Ro 9:8; Gal 3:26You are the sons of the Lord your God. You shall not cut yourselves or make any baldness between your eyes for the dead. 2#Dt 7:6; Lev 20:26For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a peculiar people to Himself, treasured above all the nations that are on the earth.
3#Eze 4:14; Lev 11:43You must not eat any detestable thing. 4These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat, 5the deer, the gazelle, the fallow deer, the wild goat, and the ibex, and the antelope, and the mountain sheep. 6You may eat every animal with divided hooves, with the hoof divided into two parts, and that chews the cud. 7Nevertheless, you may not eat of these that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: the camel, the rabbit, and the coney. For they chew the cud, but their hoof is not divided, therefore they are unclean to you. 8#Lev 11:26–27The pig is unclean to you because it divides the hoof, yet it does not chew the cud. You must not eat of their flesh or touch their dead carcass.
9These you shall eat of all that are in the water: All that have fins and scales you may eat. 10Whatever does not have fins and scales you may not eat. It is unclean to you.
11You may eat of all clean birds. 12However, these are the ones which you cannot eat: the eagle, the vulture, the buzzard, 13the red kite, the falcon, and the kite after its kind, 14every raven after its kind, 15and the ostrich, the owl, the seagull, and the hawk after its kind, 16the little owl, and the great owl, and the white owl, 17the pelican, the carrion vulture, and the cormorant, 18the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
19Every creeping thing that flies is unclean to you. They must not be eaten. 20You may eat all the clean birds.
21#Ex 23:19; 34:26; Lev 17:15You must not eat of anything that dies of itself, but you may give it to the foreigner that is in your gates, so 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 boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.
Tithes
22#Dt 12:17; 12:6You must be certain to tithe all the produce of your seed, so that the field produces year by year. 23#Dt 4:10; 12:5–7You must eat before the Lord your God, in the place in which He shall choose to place His name, the tithe of your grain, of your wine, of your oil, and of the firstborn of your herds and of your flocks so that you may learn to always fear the Lord your God. 24#Dt 12:21; 12:5If the distance is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry it, because the place is too far from you, where the Lord your God shall choose to set His name, when the Lord your God blesses you, 25then you shall exchange it for money and bind up the money in your hand and go to the place which the Lord your God shall choose. 26#Dt 12:7; Ecc 9:7Then you may spend that money for whatever your heart desires, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever your heart desires, and you may eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice, you, and your household, 27#Nu 18:20; Dt 14:29and the Levite that is within your gates. You must not forsake him, for he has no portion or inheritance with you.
28#Dt 14:22; Am 4:4At the end of three years you must bring forth all the tithe of your produce the same year and lay it up within your gates. 29#Dt 15:10; 14:27Then the Levite (because he has no portion or inheritance with you), the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your gates, shall come and shall eat and be satisfied, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.
