Deuteronomy 14:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

14 Be ye children of the Lord your God: you shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness for the dead;

² Because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God: and he chose thee to be his peculiar people of all nations that are upon the earth.

³ Eat not the things that are unclean.
