Leviticus 11:2-8 ▼

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 divides a hoof, thus making 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 divide the hoof: the camel, for though it chews cud, it does not divide the hoof, it is unclean to you.

5 Likewise, the shaphan, for though it chews cud, it does not divide the hoof, it is unclean to you;

6 the rabbit also, for though it chews cud, it does not divide the hoof, it is unclean to you;

7 and the pig, for though it divides the hoof, thus making a split hoof, it does not chew cud, it is unclean to you.

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