Speak unto the children of Israel, and say, (A)These are the beasts which ye [a]shall eat, among all the beasts that are on the earth.

Whatsoever parteth the [b]hoof, and is cloven footed, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat:

But of them that chew the cud, or divide the hoof only, of them ye shall not eat: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, and divideth not the hoof, he shall be unclean unto you.
