CLEAN AND UNCLEAN LAND ANIMALS

11 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron: 2 “Tell the Israelites: You may eatg all these kinds of land animals.h 3 You may eat any animal with divided hooves and that chews the cud. 4 But among the ones that chew the cud or have divided hooves you are not to eat these:

camels,i though they chew the cud,

do not have divided hooves—they are unclean for you;

5 hyraxes,j though they chew the cud,

do not have hooves—they are unclean for you;

6 hares, though they chew the cud,

do not have hooves—they are unclean for you;

7 pigs, though they have divided hooves,

do not chew the cud—they are unclean for you.

8 Do not eat any of their meat or touch their carcasses—they are unclean for you.k

CLEAN AND UNCLEAN AQUATIC ANIMALS

9 “This is what you may eat from all that is in the water: You may eat everything in the water that has fins and scales, whether in the seas or streams. 10 But these are to be abhorrent to you: everything in the seas or streams that does not have fins and scales among all the swarming things and other living creaturesl in the water.
