(See Gill on Deuteronomy 14:6)

Devarim 14:8 In-Context

6 And every beast that parteth the hoof, and is separated in two hooves, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat.

7 Nevertheless, these ye shall not eat of them that only chew the cud, or of them that only divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney; for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are tameh (unclean) unto you.

8 And the chazir, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is tameh (unclean) unto you; ye shall not eat of their basar, nor touch their nevelah (dead carcass).

9 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat,

10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is tameh (unclean) unto you.
