## Deuteronomy 14:11-20 in Context (Verses 8–23 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.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/14/22) Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/14/23) 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.
