1 “You are the children of Adonai your God. You are not to cut yourselves or shave your forehead for the dead.
2 For you are a holy people to Adonai your God—from all the peoples on the face of the earth, Adonai has chosen you to be His treasured people.
3 You are not to eat any detestable thing.
4 These are the animals you may eat: the ox, the sheep, the goat,
5 the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the mountain sheep.
6 Among the animals, you may eat any animal that splits the hoof—the hoof completely split in two—and chews the cud.
7 Yet of those that chew the cud or have a split hoof, you are not to eat the camel, the hare, and the rabbit—because they chew the cud but do not split the hoof, they are unclean to you.
