"And the rock-badger, for the same reason, is unclean to you."
— Leviticus 11:5, Bible in Basic English
“And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.”
“The rock badger is unclean to you because it chews the cud even though its hoof is not divided.”
“And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.”
Say to the children of Israel: These are the living things which you may have for food among all the beasts on the earth.
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.
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.
And the rock-badger, for the same reason, is unclean to you.
And the hare, because the horn of its foot is not parted in two, is unclean to you.
And the pig is unclean to you, because though the horn of its foot is parted, its food does not come back.
Their flesh may not be used for food, and their dead bodies may not even be touched; they are unclean to you.
