Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

3 Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven footed, and chews the cud, among the beasts, that shall you eat.

Whatsoever divideth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that may ye eat.

4 Nevertheless these shall you not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he chews the cud, but divides not the hoof; he is unclean to you.

But these shall ye not eat, of those that chew the cud, or of those that divide the hoof: the camel; because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
