Leviticus 11:2-18 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

2. “Speak to Bnei-Yisrael, saying: These are the living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth.

3. Whatever has a split, divided hoof and chews cud among the animals—that you may eat.

8. You are not to eat meat from them, nor are you to touch their carcasses. They are unclean to you.

9. “From all that are in the waters, you may eat whatever has fins and scales, within the waters, in the seas and in the rivers. Those you may eat.
