Shabbat Morning – August 7, 2021

Deuteronomy :26-:28

See, this day I set before you blessing and curse: blessing, if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God that I enjoin upon you this day;

and curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn away from the path that I enjoin upon you this day and follow other gods, whom you have not experienced. (Deut :26-:28).

Deuteronomy 14:1-21

You are children of the LORD your God. You shall not gash yourselves or shave the front of your heads because of the dead.

For you are a people consecrated to the LORD your God: the LORD your God chose you from among all other peoples on earth to be His treasured people.

You shall not eat anything abhorrent.

These are the animals that you may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat;

the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, the mountain sheep,

and any other animal that has true hoofs which are cleft in two and brings up the cud—such you may eat.

But the following, which do bring up the cud or have true hoofs which are cleft through, you may not eat: the camel, the hare, and the daman—for although they bring up the cud, they have no true hoofs—they are unclean for you;

also the swine—for although it has true hoofs, it does not bring up the cud—is unclean for you. You shall not eat of their flesh or touch their carcasses.

These you may eat of all that live in water: you may eat anything that has fins and scales.

But you may not eat anything that has no fins and scales: it is unclean for you.

You may eat any clean bird.

The following you may not eat: the eagle, the vulture, and the black vulture;

the kite, the falcon, and the buzzard of any variety; every variety of raven; the ostrich, the nighthawk, the sea gull, and the hawk of any variety; the little owl, the great owl, and the white owl; the pelican, the bustard, and the cormorant; the stork, any variety of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.

All winged swarming things are unclean for you: they may not be eaten.

You may eat only clean winged creatures.

You shall not eat anything that has died a natural death; give it to the stranger in your community to eat, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a people consecrated to the LORD your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.
