Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2 “Israel ca rhoek te voek rhoi lamtah, diklai hmankah rhamsa boeih khuiah na caak uh ham mulhing he thui pah.
“Speak to the people of Israel, saying, 'These are the living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth.

However, some animals either chew the cud or have a split hoof, and you must not eat them, animals such as the camel, because it chews the cud but does not have a split hoof. So the camel is unclean to you.
5 Saphih he khaw caknaih a naih dae a khomae a rhak pawt dongah nangmih ham rhalawt.
Also the rock badger, because it chews the cud but does not have a split hoof, it is also unclean to you.

The rabbit, because it chews the cud, but does not have a split hoof, is unclean to you.

The pig, although it has a split hoof, does not chew the cud, is unclean to you.

Since they must be detested, you must not eat of their meat; also, their carcasses must be detested.
