1. The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
2. “Say to the Israelites: ‘Of all the animals that live on land, these are the ones you may eat:
3. You may eat any animal that has a divided hoof and that chews the cud.
4. “ ‘There are some that only chew the cud or only have a divided hoof, but you must not eat them. The camel, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is ceremonially unclean for you.
5. The hyrax, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.
6. The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.
7. And the pig, though it has a divided hoof, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you.
8. You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.
9. “ ‘Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams you may eat any that have fins and scales.
