1. The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron:
2. “Tell the Israelites: You may eat all these kinds of land animals.
3. You may eat any animal with divided hooves and that chews the cud.
4. But among the ones that chew the cud or have divided hooves you are not to eat these:the camel, though it chews the cud,does not have divided hooves — it is unclean for you;
5. the hyrax, though it chews the cud,does not have hooves — it is unclean for you;
6. the hare, though it chews the cud,does not have hooves — it is unclean for you;
7. the pig, though it has divided hooves,does not chew the cud — it is unclean for you.
8. Do not eat any of their meat or touch their carcasses — they are unclean for you.
9. “This is what you may eat from all that is in the water: You may eat everything in the water that has fins and scales, whether in the seas or streams.
10. But these are to be detestable to you: everything in the seas or streams that does not have fins and scales among all the swarming things and other living creatures in the water.
11. They are to remain detestable to you; you must not eat any of their meat, and you must detest their carcasses.
12. Everything in the water that does not have fins and scales will be detestable to you.
