Deuteronomy 14:3-8

3You must not eat any forbidden thing.

4These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat,

5the ibex, the gazelle, the deer, the wild goat, the antelope, the wild oryx, and the mountain sheep.

6You may eat any animal that has hooves divided into two parts and that chews the cud.

7However, you may not eat the following animals among those that chew the cud or those that have divided hooves: the camel, the hare, and the rock badger. (Although they chew the cud, they do not have divided hooves and are therefore ritually impure to you).

8Also the pig is ritually impure to you; though it has divided hooves, it does not chew the cud. You may not eat their meat or even touch their remains.
