Deuteronomy 14:8 In-Context

6 Any animal that has a separate hoof that is completely divided and also chews the cud, these animals you may eat.
7 But you are not to eat those that only chew the cud or only have a divided hoof. For example, the camel, the hare and the coney are unclean for you because they chew the cud but don't have a separate hoof;
8 while the pig is unclean for you because, although it has a separate hoof, it doesn't chew the cud. You are not to eat meat from these or touch their carcasses.
9 "Of all that lives in the water, you may eat these: anything in the water that has fins and scales, these you may eat.
10 But whatever lacks fins and scales you are not to eat; it is unclean for you.
