2 For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. He has chosen you to be his people, prized above all others on the face of the earth.
3 You must not eat any forbidden thing.
4 These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat,
5 the ibex, the gazelle, the deer, the wild goat, the antelope, the wild oryx, and the mountain sheep.
6 You may eat any animal that has hooves divided into two parts and that chews the cud.
7 However, you may not eat the following animals among those that chew the cud or those that have divided hooves: the camel, the hare, and the rock badger. (Although they chew the cud, they do not have divided hooves and are therefore ritually impure to you).
8 Also the pig is ritually impure to you; though it has divided hooves, it does not chew the cud. You may not eat their meat or even touch their remains.
