Deuteronomy 14:8

8 also a swine, for it parteth the claw, and cheweth not the cud, shall be unclean (and a pig, for it hath a divided hoof, but it cheweth not the cud, and so it shall be unclean); ye shall not eat the flesh of them, and ye shall not touch their dead bodies.

Deuteronomy 14:8 In-Context

6 Ye shall eat each beast that parteth the claw into two parts, and cheweth the cud. (Ye may eat any beast which hath a divided hoof, or foot, and cheweth the cud.)
7 And ye shall not eat these beasts, of them that chew the cud, and part not the claw; a camel, an hare, and a coney; for these chew the cud, and part not the claw, they shall be unclean to you; (But ye shall not eat those beasts, which chew the cud, but do not have a divided hoof, or foot; such as a camel, a hare, and a rock-badger; for these chew the cud, but do not have a divided hoof, or foot, and so they shall be unclean to you;)
8 also a swine, for it parteth the claw, and cheweth not the cud, shall be unclean (and a pig, for it hath a divided hoof, but it cheweth not the cud, and so it shall be unclean); ye shall not eat the flesh of them, and ye shall not touch their dead bodies.
9 Ye shall eat these things, of all that dwell in waters (Of all the things that live in water, these ye shall eat); eat ye those things that have fins and scales;
10 eat ye not those things that be without fins and scales, for those be unclean.
