2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Among all the animals which are on the earth, these are the animals which you may eat.

3 You may eat any animal that has a divided hoof [that is, a hoof split into two parts especially at its distal extremity] and chews the cud.

4 Nevertheless, you are not to eat these, among those which chew the cud or divide the hoof: the camel, because it chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; it is [ceremonially] unclean to you.

5 And the shaphan, because it chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you.

6 And the hare, because it chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you.

7 And the swine, because it divides the hoof and makes a split hoof, but does not chew the cud; it is unclean to you.

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