Deuteronomy, Chapter 14, King James Bible

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Deuteronomy chapter fourteen. Ye are the children of the Lord
your God. Ye shall not cut yourselves nor make any
baldness between your eyes for the dead. For thou art
in 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, I

(00:23):
shall not eat any abominable thing. These are the beasts
which ye shall eat, the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
the heart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and
the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox,
and the chamis, and every beast that parteth the hoof
and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and choose the

(00:45):
cud among the beasts that ye shall eat. 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 coni. For they chew
the cud, but divide not the hoof. Therefore they are
unclean unto you, and the swine. Because they divide the hoof,

(01:07):
yet chewth not the cud, it is unclean unto you.
Ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their
dead carcass These ye shall eat. Of all that are
in the waters. All that have fins and scales, shall
ye eat. And whatsoever hath not fins and scales, ye
may not eat. It is unclean unto you. Of all

(01:28):
clean birds ye shall eat. But these are they of
which ye shall not eat. The eagle, and the ossipridge,
and the ospray, and the glead, and the kite, and
the bulture after his kind, and every raven after his kind,
and the owl, and the night hawk, and the cockaw,
and the hawk after his kind, the little owl and

(01:50):
the great owl, and the swan, and the pelican, and
the gear eagle, and the cormorant, and the stork, and
the heron after her kind, and the lap wing and
the bat, and every creeping thing that flieth is unclean
unto you, they shall not be eaten. But of all
clean fowls ye may eat. Ye shall not eat of

(02:12):
anything that dieth of itself. Thou shalt give it unto
the stranger that is in thy gaits, that he may
eat it, or thou mayst sell it unto an alien,
For thou art in holy people, unto the Lord thy God,
thou shalt not see the kid in his mother's milk.
Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed

(02:32):
that the field bringeth forth year by year, And thou
shalt eat before the Lord thy God in the place
which ye shall choose to place his name there, the
tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil,
and the firstlings of thy herd and of thy flocks,
that thou mayst learn to fear the Lord thy God always.

(02:53):
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, then shalt thou
turn it into money, and bind up the money in
thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the
Lord thy God shall choose, And thou shalt bestow that

(03:16):
money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen or
for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or
for whatsoever thy soul desireth and thou shalt eat there
before the Lord thy God. And thou shalt rejoice thou
in thine household, and the Levite that is within thy gates.
Thou shalt not forsake him, for he hath no partner

(03:38):
inheritance with THEE. At the end of three years, thou
shalt bring forth all the tide of thine increase the
same year, and shalt lit up within thy gates and
the levite, because he hath no partner inheritance with THEE.
And the stranger, and the fatherless and the widow, which
are within thy gates, shall come and shalt eat and

(04:00):
be satisfied that the Lord thy God may bless THEE
in all the work of Thine hand which thou doest
