| 1 "You are the sons of the LORD your God; you shall not cut yourselves nor shave your forehead for the sake of the dead. | 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. | 1 You are the children of the LORD your God. So when someone dies, don't [mourn] by cutting yourselves or shaving bald spots on your head. | 1 You are the children of Yahweh your God: you shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead. | 1 Ye are sons of Jehovah your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for a dead person. | 2 "For you are a holy people to the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be a people for His own possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. | 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. | 2 You are people who are holy to the LORD your God. Out of all the people who live on earth, the LORD has chosen you to be his own special possession. | 2 For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God, and Yahweh has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth. | 2 For thou art a holy people unto Jehovah thy God, and thee hath Jehovah chosen for a people of possession unto himself, out of all the peoples that are upon the face of the earth. | 3 "You shall not eat any detestable thing. | 3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing. | 3 Never eat anything that is disgusting to the LORD. | 3 You shall not eat any abominable thing. | 3 Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing. | 4 "These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat, | 4 These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat, | 4 Here are the [kinds of] animals you may eat: oxen, sheep, goats, | 4 These are the animals which you may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat, | 4 These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat; | 5 the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope and the mountain sheep. | 5 The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois. | 5 deer, gazelles, fallow deer, wild goats, mountain goats, antelope, and mountain sheep. | 5 the hart, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the ibex, and the antelope, and the chamois. | 5 the hart, and the gazelle, and the stag, and the wild goat, and the dishon and the oryx, and the wild sheep. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 "Any animal that divides the hoof and has the hoof split in two and chews the cud, among the animals, that you may eat. | 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. | 6 You may eat all animals that have completely divided hoofs and that also chew their cud. | 6 Every animal that parts the hoof, and has the hoof cloven in two, [and] chews the cud, among the animals, that may you eat. | 6 And every beast that hath cloven hoofs, and the feet quite split open into double hoofs, and which cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that ye shall eat. | 7 "Nevertheless, you are not to eat of these among those which chew the cud, or among those that divide the hoof in two: the camel and the rabbit and the shaphan, for though they chew the cud, they do not divide the hoof; they are unclean for you. | 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. | 7 But some animals chew their cud, while others have completely divided hoofs. You may not eat these [kinds of] animals. They include camels, rabbits, and rock badgers. (Although they chew their cud, they don't have divided hoofs. They are unclean for you.) | 7 Nevertheless these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of those who have the hoof cloven: the camel, and the hare, and the rabbit; because they chew the cud but don't part the hoof, they are unclean to you. | 7 Only these ye shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those with hoofs cloven and split open: the camel, and the hare, and the rock-badger; for they chew the cud, but have not cloven hoofs they shall be unclean unto you; | 8 "The pig, because it divides the hoof but does not chew the cud, it is unclean for you. You shall not eat any of their flesh nor touch their carcasses. | 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 carcass. | 8 Also, you may not eat pigs. (Although their hoofs are divided, they don't chew their cud.) Never eat their meat or touch their dead bodies. | 8 The pig, because it has a split hoof but doesn't chew the cud, is unclean to you: of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch. | 8 and the swine, for it hath cloven hoofs, yet cheweth not the cud it shall be unclean unto you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch. | 9 "These you may eat of all that are in water: anything that has fins and scales you may eat, | 9 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat: | 9 Here's what you may eat of every creature that lives in the water: You may eat any creature that has fins and scales. | 9 These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales may you eat; | 9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales shall ye eat; | 10 but anything that does not have fins and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean for you. | 10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you. | 10 But never eat anything that doesn't have fins and scales. It is unclean for you. | 10 and whatever doesn't have fins and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean to you. | 10 but whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye shall not eat: it shall be unclean unto you. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |

Never cook a young goat in its mother's milk. | 21 You shall not eat of anything that dies of itself: you may give it to the foreigner living among you who is within your gates, that he may eat it; or you may sell it to a foreigner: for you are a holy people to Yahweh your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk. | 21 Ye shall eat of no carcase; thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is within thy gates, that he may eat it, or sell it unto a foreigner; for thou art a holy people to Jehovah thy God.

The Levites may also come because they have no land of their own as you have. Then the LORD your God will bless you in whatever work you do. | 29 and the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the foreigner living among you, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do. | 29 and the Levite for he hath no portion nor inheritance with thee and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the work of thy hand which thou doest. |
