Deuteronomy 14:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶It is all right to eat meat from any animals that have divided hoofs and also chew the cud.^[a]

⁷But don't eat camels, rabbits, and rock badgers. These animals chew the cud but do not have divided hoofs. You must treat them as unclean. ⁸And don't eat pork, since pigs have divided hoofs, but they do not chew their cud. Don't even touch a dead pig!
