Leviticus 11:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² “Speak to the Israelites. Tell them, ‘Many animals live on land. Here are the only ones you can eat. ³ You can eat any animal that has hooves that are separated completely in two. But it must also chew the cud.

⁴ “ ‘Some animals only chew the cud. Some only have hooves that are separated in two. You must not eat those animals. Camels chew the cud. But their hooves are not separated in two. So they are “unclean” for you.
