Leviticus 11:2-7

2“SpeakH1696 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, ‘1TheseH2088 are the creaturesH2421 whichH834 you may eatH398 from allH3605 the animalsH929 that are on the earthH776.

3WhateverH3605 dividesH6536 a hoofH6541, thus makingH8156 splitH8156 hoofsH6541, and chewsH5927 the cudH1625, among the animalsH929, that you may eatH398.

4NeverthelessH389, 2you are not to eatH398 of theseH2088, among those which chewH5927 the cudH1625, or among those which divideH6536 the hoofH6541: the camelH1581, for though it chewsH5927 cudH1625, it does not divideH6536 the hoofH6541, it is uncleanH2931 to you.

5Likewise, the 3shaphanH8227, for though it chewsH5927 cudH1625, it does not divideH6536 the hoofH6541, it is uncleanH2931 to you;

6the 4rabbitH768 also, for though it chewsH5927 cudH1625, it does not divideH6536 the hoofH6541, it is uncleanH2931 to you;

7and the pigH2386, for though it dividesH6536 the hoofH6541, thus makingH8156 a splitH8156 hoofH6541, it does not chewH1641 cudH1625, it is uncleanH2931 to you.
