Deuteronomy 14:1-2

Sons of the LORD: Clean Food, Holy People, and the Tithe That Teaches Covenant Economics

From the identity foundation — sons of the LORD, holy people, treasured possession (vv. 1-2) — through the food distinctions that mark the boundary of covenant identity (vv. 3-21) to the tithe that embodies covenant economics at the chosen place (vv. 22-27) and in the local towns for the marginalized (vv. 28-29).

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

1You are sons of the LORD your God; do not cut yourselves or shave your foreheads on behalf of the dead,

2for you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD has chosen you to be a people for His prized possession out of all the peoples on the face of the earth.
