Leviticus 11:1 In-Context

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

2 Speak ye to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat of all beasts that are upon the earth.

3 Every beast parting the hoof and making divisions of two claws, and chewing the cud among beasts, these ye shall eat.

4 But of these ye shall not eat, of those that chew the cud, and of those that part the hoofs, and divide claws; the camel, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.

5 And the rabbit, because it chews the cud, but does not divide the hoof, this is unclean to you.
