Leviticus 11:1-8 ▼

1 The LORD spoke again to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,

2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘These are the creatures which you may eat from all the animals that are on the earth.

3 Whatever has a divided hoof, showing split hoofs, and chews the cud, among the animals, that you may eat.

4 Nevertheless, you are not to eat of these, among those which chew the cud, or among those which have a divided hoof: the camel, for though it chews cud, it does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean to you.

5 Likewise, the rock hyrax, for though it chews cud, it does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean to you.

6 The rabbit also, for though it chews cud, it does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean to you.

7 And the pig, for though it has a divided hoof, and so it shows a split hoof, it does not chew cud; it is unclean to you.

8 You shall not eat any of their flesh nor touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.
