Leviticus 11:2-8 ▼

2 Speak to the Israelites and tell them: Of all land animals these are the ones you may eat:

3 Any animal that has hoofs you may eat, provided it is cloven-footed and chews the cud.

4 But you shall not eat any of the following from among those that only chew the cud or only have hoofs: the camel, which indeed chews the cud, but does not have hoofs and is therefore unclean for you;

5 the rock hyrax, which indeed chews the cud, but does not have hoofs and is therefore unclean for you;

6 the hare, which indeed chews the cud, but does not have hoofs and is therefore unclean for you;

7 and the pig, which does indeed have hoofs and is cloven-footed, but does not chew the cud and is therefore unclean for you.

8 You shall not eat their meat, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.
