|
|
7. However, you may not eat the following animals among those that chew the cud or those that have divided hooves: the camel, the hare, and the rock badger. (Although they chew the cud, they do not have divided hooves and are therefore ritually impure to you).

|
21. Ye shall not H3808 eat H398 of any H3605 thing that dieth of itself H5038 : thou shalt give H5414 it unto the stranger H1616 that H834 is in thy gates H8179 , that he may eat H398 it; or H176 thou mayest sell H4376 it unto an alien H5237 : for H3588 thou H859 art a holy H6918 people H5971 unto the LORD H3068 thy God H430 .

|
|
24. When he blesses you, if the place where he chooses to locate his name is distant,
|
24. And if H3588 the way H1870 be too long H7235 for H4480 thee , so that H3588 thou art not able H3201 H3808 to carry H5375 it; or if H3588 the place H4725 be too far H7368 from H4480 thee, which H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 shall choose H977 to set H7760 his name H8034 there H8033 , when H3588 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 hath blessed H1288 thee:

|
|
26. Then you may spend the money however you wish for cattle, sheep, wine, beer, or whatever you desire. You and your household may eat there in the presence of the LORD your God and enjoy it.
|
26. And thou shalt bestow H5414 that money H3701 for whatsoever H3605 H834 thy soul H5315 lusteth after H183 , for oxen H1241 , or for sheep H6629 , or for wine H3196 , or for strong drink H7941 , or for whatsoever H3605 H834 thy soul H5315 desireth H7592 : and thou shalt eat H398 there H8033 before H6440 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , and thou shalt rejoice H8055 , thou H859 , and thine household H1004 ,

|
|
29. Then the Levites (because they have no allotment or inheritance with you), the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows of your villages may come and eat their fill so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work you do.
|
29. And the Levite H3881 , ( because H3588 he hath no H369 part H2506 nor inheritance H5159 with H5973 thee,) and the stranger H1616 , and the fatherless H3490 , and the widow H490 , which H834 are within thy gates H8179 , shall come H935 , and shall eat H398 and be satisfied H7646 ; that H4616 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 may bless H1288 thee in all H3605 the work H4639 of thine hand H3027 which H834 thou doest H6213 .
