Leviticus 11:1 In-Context

1 God spoke to Moses and Aaron:

2 "Speak to the People of Israel. Tell them: Of all the animals on Earth, these are the animals that you may eat:

3 "You may eat any animal that has a split hoof, divided in two, and that chews the cud,

4 but not an animal that only chews the cud or only has a split hoof. For instance, the camel chews the cud but doesn't have a split hoof, so it's unclean.

5 The rock badger chews the cud but doesn't have a split hoof and so it's unclean.
