## Deuteronomy 14:21 in Context (Verses 18–24 KJV)
 
 [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.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/deuteronomy/14/24) 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:
