2 Say to the children of Israel: These are the living things which you may have for food among all the beasts on the earth.
你們應告訴色列子民說：地上的一切走獸中，你們可吃的獸類如下：
3 You may have as food any beast which has a division in the horn of its foot, and whose food comes back into its mouth to be crushed again.
凡走獸中偶蹄，有趾及反芻的，你們都可以吃。
4 But, at the same time, of those beasts, you may not take for food the camel, because its food comes back but the horn of its foot is not parted in two; it is unclean to you.
但在反芻或有偶蹄的走獸中，你們不可吃的是駱駝，因為駱駝雖反芻，但偶蹄無趾，對你們仍是潔的；
5 And the rock-badger, for the same reason, is unclean to you.

6 And the hare, because the horn of its foot is not parted in two, is unclean to you.

8 Their flesh may not be used for food, and their dead bodies may not even be touched; they are unclean to you.

因為我上主是你們的天主：你們該表現為聖潔的，你們應是聖的，因為我是聖的。你們不要因地上任何爬蟲，而使自己成為不潔的，
