Context of Deuteronomy 14:5

3Do not eat anything that God says is unclean. 4You may eat the meat of these animals: cows, sheep, goats, deer, wild goats, mountain goats, antelopes and wild sheep. 6You may eat any animal with feet that have two separate parts. They must also bring their food back into their mouths and eat it again. 7But you must not eat these animals: camels, wild rabbits and rock badgers. They eat their food a second time, but they do not have feet with two separate parts. For this reason they are unclean food for you.
