Leviticus 11:1 In-Context

1 And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

2 "Say to the people of Israel, These are the living things which you may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

3 Whatever parts the hoof and is cloven-footed and chews the cud, among the animals, you may eat.

4 Nevertheless among those that chew the cud or part the hoof, you shall not eat these: The camel, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean to you.

5 And the rock badger, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean to you.
