1. AND THE Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
2. Say to the Israelites: These are the animals which you may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. [Mark 7:15-19.]
3. Whatever parts the hoof and is cloven-footed and chews the cud, any of these animals you may eat.
4. Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud or divide the hoof: the camel, because it chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you.
5. And the coney or rock badger, because it chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you.
6. And the hare, because it chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you.
7. And the swine, because it divides the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud; it is unclean to you.
8. Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch; they are unclean to you.
9. These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, these you may eat;
10. But all that have not fins and scales in the seas and in the rivers, of all the creeping things in the waters, and of all the living creatures which are in the waters, they are [to be considered] an abomination and abhorrence to you. [I Cor. 8:8-13.]
