Deuteronomy 11:26 – 16:17
Here are the laws regarding sacred and contaminated animals and the stipulation that all the blood – the sign of life – be spilled before consuming any former living creature. On the mountain on the left – Mt. Gerizim – are the kosher animals with cloven hoof that chew their cud – even the giraffe was eatable. On the right, the barren Mt. Ebal where are the unclean animals and birds.
