Deuteronomy 14:9 In-Context

7 Only these you may not eat from {those chewing the cud} and from {those having a division of the hoof}: the camel and the hare and the coney, because {they chew the cud}, but they [do] not divide the hoof; they are [therefore] unclean for you.

8 And [also] the pig {because it has a division of the hoof} {but does not chew the cud}; it [is] unclean for you; from their meat you shall not eat, and you shall not touch their {carcasses}.

9 "This [is what] you shall eat from all that [is] in the water: {everything} {that has fins and scales} you may eat.

10 But {anything that does not have} fins and scales, you may not eat, [for] it [is] unclean for you.

11 "All [of] [the] birds [that] [are] clean you may eat.
