4Nevertheless, you shall not eat these from among those that chew the cud or from among those that divide the hoof: the camel, because it chews the cud but does not divide the hoof; it is unclean to you.

5And the rock badger, because it chews the cud but does not divide the hoof, is unclean for you.

6And the hare, because it chews the cud but does not divide the hoof, is unclean for you.

7And the pig, because it has a divided hoof and splits the hoof, but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you.

8You shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.
