1. Then Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
2. “Speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘These are the animals that you may eat from all the animals that are on the land:
3. Any among the animals that has a divided hoof and has a split cleft in the hoof, such you may eat.
4. However, these you may not eat from those that chew the cud and from those that have a divided hoof: the camel, because it is a chewer of cud but it does not have a hoof that is divided—it is unclean for you;
5. and the coney, because it is a chewer of cud but it does not have a hoof that is divided—it is unclean for you;
6. and the hare, because it is a chewer of cud but it does not have a hoof that is divided—it is unclean for you;
7. and the pig, because it has a divided hoof and has a split cleft in the hoof but it does not chew cud—it is unclean for you.
8. You must not eat from their meat, and you must not touch their dead body—they are unclean for you.
9. “ ‘These you may eat from all that are in the water: any in the water that has a fin and scales, whether in the seas or in the streams—such you may eat.
