Leviticus 11:3

Foods Permitted and Forbidden

1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them,

2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ^a‘These are the animals which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth:

3 Among the animals, whatever divides the hoof, having cloven hooves and chewing the cud—that you may eat.

4 Nevertheless these you shall ^anot eat among those that chew the cud or those that have cloven hooves: the camel, because it chews the cud but does not have cloven hooves, is¹ unclean to you;

5 the rock hyrax, because it chews the cud but does not have cloven hooves, is² unclean to you;

6 the hare, because it chews the cud but does not have cloven hooves, is unclean to you;

7 and the swine, though it divides the hoof, having cloven hooves, yet does not chew the cud, ^ais unclean to you.

8 Their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch. ^aThey are unclean to you.

9 ^a‘These you may eat of all that are in the water: whatever in the water has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers—that you may eat.

10 But all in the seas or in the rivers that do not have fins and scales, all that move in the water or any living thing which is in the water, they are¹ an ^aabomination to you.
