Deuteronomy 14:3-8
New American Standard Bible
3 “(A)You shall not eat any detestable thing. 4 (B)These are the animals that you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat, 5 [a]the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the mountain sheep. 6 And any animal that has a divided hoof and has its hoofs split in two, and [b]chews the cud, among the animals, [c]that animal you may eat. 7 However, you are not to eat these among the ones that [d]chew the cud, or among those that have the hoof divided in [e]two: the camel, the [f]rabbit, and the rock hyrax, for though they [g]chew the cud, they do not have a divided hoof; they are unclean to you. 8 And the pig, because it has a divided hoof but does not chew the cud, it is unclean for you. You shall not eat any of their flesh, nor touch their carcasses.
