1. And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
2. Say to the sons of Israel: These are the animals that you ought to eat out of all the living things of the earth.
3. All that has a divided hoof, and that chews over again, among the cattle, you shall eat.
4. But whatever certainly chews over again, but has a hoof that is not divided, such as the camel and others, these you shall not eat, and you shall consider them to be among what is unclean.
5. The rock rabbit which chews over again, and whose hoof is not divided, is unclean,
6. and so also is the hare, for it too chews over again, yet its hoof is not divided,
7. and also the swine, which, though its hoof is divided, does not chew over again.
8. The flesh of these you shall not eat, nor shall you touch their carcasses, because they are unclean to you.
9. These are the things that breed in the waters, and which it is lawful to eat. All that has little fins and scales, as much in the sea, as in the rivers and ponds, you shall eat.
