|
|
4. "Some animals chew the cud, but they don't have split hooves. Don't eat these animals. Camels, rock badgers, and rabbits are like that, so they are unclean for you.
|
4. Nevertheless H389 H853 these H2088 shall ye not H3808 eat H398 of them that chew H4480 H5927 the cud H1625 , or of them that divide H4480 H6536 the hoof H6541 : as H853 the camel H1581 , because H3588 he H1931 cheweth H5927 the cud H1625 , but divideth H6536 not H369 the hoof H6541 ; he H1931 is unclean H2931 unto you.

7. Other animals have hooves that are split into two parts, but they don't chew the cud. Don't eat these animals. Pigs are like that, so they are unclean for you.

|
|
10. But if an animal lives in the sea or in a river and does not have fins and scales, you must not eat that animal. It is one of the animals the Lord says is bad to eat. Don't eat the meat from that animal. Don't even touch its dead body!
