Leviticus 11:2-7 Modern English Version (MEV)

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;

6. the hare, because it chews the cud but does not have a divided hoof, is unclean to you;
