4 Unclean animals


Leviticus 11:1-8 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Say to the Israelites: 'Of all the animals that live on land, these are the ones you may eat: You may eat any animal that has a divided hoof and that chews the cud. "'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.
The hyrax, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.
The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.
And the pig, though it has a divided hoof, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you.

You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.

Deuteronomy 14:7, 8

You may eat any animal that has a divided hoof and that chews the cud. 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.

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.
