2. “Tell the Israelites: Here are the kinds of land animals you may eat:
3. all animals that have completely divided hoofs and that also chew their cud.
4. However, from those that either chew their cud or have divided hoofs, these are the kinds you must never eat: You must never eat camels. (Camels are unclean because they chew their cud but do not have divided hoofs.)
5. You must never eat rock badgers. (Rock badgers are unclean because they chew their cud but do not have divided hoofs.)
6. You must never eat rabbits. (Rabbits are unclean because they chew their cud but do not have divided hoofs.)
7. You must never eat pigs. (Because pigs have completely divided hoofs but do not chew their cud, they are also unclean.)
8. Never eat the meat of these animals or touch their dead bodies. They are unclean for you.
9. “Here are the kinds of creatures that live in the water which you may eat—anything in the seas and streams that has fins and scales.
