² ‘Say to the Israelites: “Of all the animals that live on land, these are the ones you may eat: ³ you may eat any animal that has a divided hoof and that chews the cud.

⁴ ‘“There are some that only chew the cud or only have a divided hoof, but you must not eat them. The camel, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is ceremonially unclean for you. ⁵ The hyrax, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you. ⁶ The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you. ⁷ And the pig, though it has a divided hoof, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you. ⁸ You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.

²⁹ ‘“Of the animals that move along the ground, these are unclean for you: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,

³⁰ the gecko, the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink and the chameleon.
