Bible verse
These are the animals that you may eat: The ox, the sheep, the goat,
Deuteronomy 14:4 · BSB
The verses around it, from Deuteronomy 14.
1 You are sons of the LORD your God; do not cut yourselves or shave your foreheads on behalf of the dead,
2 for you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD has chosen you to be a people for His prized possession out of all the peoples on the face of the earth.
3 You must not eat any detestable thing.
4 These are the animals that you may eat: The ox, the sheep, the goat,
5 the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope, and the mountain sheep.
6 You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and that chews the cud.
7 But of those that chew the cud or have a completely divided hoof, you are not to eat the following: the camel, the rabbit, or the rock badger. Although they chew the cud, they do not have a divided hoof. They are unclean for you,
8 as well as the pig; though it has a divided hoof, it does not chew the cud. It is unclean for you. You must not eat its meat or touch its carcass.
