There are some animals that chew their cuds but do not have split hooves, and some animals that have split hooves but do not chew their cuds. You must not eat any of those animals. [For example], camels chew their cuds but do not have split hooves, so they are unacceptable for you to eat.

45 Izaho Iehovà nañavotse anahareo an-tane Mitsraime añe ho Andrianañahare’ areo. Aa le miavaha amy te masin-dRaho.
I am Yahweh, the one who freed you from [being slaves in] Egypt, in order to be your God. Therefore, because I am holy, you must be holy.
