2 “Ẹ sọ fún àwọn ara Israẹli pé, ‘Nínú gbogbo ẹranko tí ń gbé lórí ilẹ̀, àwọn wọ̀nyí ni ẹ le jẹ.
“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘These are the living things which you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth.
3 Gbogbo ẹranko tí pátákò ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ bá là tí ó sì ń jẹ àpọ̀jẹ.
Whatever parts the hoof, and is cloven-footed, and chews the cud among the animals, that you may eat.

“‘Nevertheless these you shall not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those who part the hoof: the camel, because it chews the cud but does not have a parted hoof, is unclean to you.

The pig, because it has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you.

You shall not eat their meat. You shall not touch their carcasses. They are unclean to you.

Anything they fall on when they are dead shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening. Then it will be clean.
