1. The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them:
2. Speak to the children of Israel, saying: These are the living things which you shall eat among all the animals that are on the earth.
3. Whatever animal has a parted hoof (that is, split-hoofed), and chews the cud among the animals, that one you shall eat.
4. Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud or of those that have a divided hoof: The camel, because it chews the cud but does not have a divided hoof, is unclean to you;
5. the rock badger, because it chews the cud but does not have a divided hoof, is unclean to you;
6. the hare, because it chews the cud but does not have a divided hoof, is unclean to you;
7. the pig, though it does have a divided hoof (that is, split-hoofed), yet it does not chew the cud, is unclean to you;
8. you shall not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses you must not touch; they are unclean to you.
9. These you shall 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 shall eat;
