Deuteronomy 14:1-8

New International Version

Clean and Unclean Food^(A)

14 You are the children^(B) of the Lord your God. Do not cut yourselves or shave the front of your heads for the dead, ² for you are a people holy^(C) to the Lord your God.^(D) Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the Lord has chosen you to be his treasured possession.^(E)

³ Do not eat any detestable thing.^{(F) 4} These are the animals you may eat:^(G) the ox, the sheep, the goat,^{(H) 5} the deer,^(I) the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat,^(J) the ibex, the antelope and the mountain sheep.^{[a] 6} You may eat any animal that has a divided hoof and that chews the cud. ⁷ However, of those that chew the cud or that have a divided hoof you may not eat the camel, the rabbit or the hyrax. Although they chew the cud, they do not have a divided hoof; they are ceremonially unclean for you. ⁸ The pig is also unclean; although it has a divided hoof, it does not chew the cud. You are not to eat their meat or touch their carcasses.^(K)
