Deuteronomy 14:8 meaning and explanation
Although they chew the cud, they do not have a divided hoof. They are unclean for you, 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.
Deuteronomy 14:8, Berean Standard Bible
