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.
Any - [one which] divides in two a hoof and [which] cleaves a cleft of hooves [which] brings up cud among the animal[s] it you will eat.
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.
Nevertheless this not you must eat from [those which] bring up the cud and from [those which] divide in two the hoof the camel that [is] bringing up cud it and a hoof not it [is] dividing in two [is] unclean it to you.

20 Every winged four-footed thing which goes on the earth is disgusting to you;
Every swarming thing of wing which walks on four [legs] [is] a detestable thing it to you.
21 But of the winged four-footed things, those which have long legs for jumping on the earth you may have for food;
