## Deuteronomy 14:11-18 in Context (Verses 8–21 KJV)
 
 [8 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/14/8) 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 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/14/9) ¶ These ye shall eat of all that *are* in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:
 
 [10 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/14/10) And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it *is* unclean unto you.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/14/11) ¶ *Of* all clean birds ye shall eat.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/14/12) But these *are they* of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
 
 [13 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/14/13) And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
 
 [14 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/14/14) And every raven after his kind,
 
 [15 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/14/15) And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
 
 [16 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/14/16) The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
 
 [17 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/14/17) And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,
 
 [18 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/14/18) And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/14/19) And every creeping thing that flieth *is* unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/14/20) *But of* all clean fowls ye may eat.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/14/21) ¶ 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.
