Leviticus 11:1-8

Clean and Unclean Animals

Yahweh spoke again to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them, 2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘^aThese 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, ^ayou shall not 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 ¹shaphan, for though it chews cud, it does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you; 6 the ¹rabbit 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, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.
