2. Because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God: and he chose thee to be his peculiar people of all nations that are upon the earth.
3. Eat not the things that are unclean.
4. These are the beasts that you shall eat, the ox, and the sheep, and the goat,
5. The hart and the roe, the buffle, the chamois, the pygarg, the wild goat, the camelopardalus.
6. Every beast that divideth the hoof in two parts, and cheweth the cud, you shall eat.
7. But of them that chew the cud, but divide not the hoof, you shall not eat, such as the camel, the hare, and the cherogril: because they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof, they shall be unclean to you.
8. The swine also, because it divideth the hoof, but cheweth not the cud, shall be unclean, their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch.
