Leviticus 11:1-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Clean and Unclean Land Animals
11 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron: 2 “Tell the Israelites: You may eat(A) all these kinds of land animals.(B) 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,(C) though it chews the cud,
does not have divided hooves—it is unclean for you;
5 the hyrax,[a](D) 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.(E)
