The LORD is speaking to Moses and Aaron, and through them to Israel camped at Sinai, teaching the people how to live as his own nation. This verse extends the food laws to animals that walk on paws, such as cats and dogs, which do not meet the two marks of a clean land animal: a fully divided hoof and chewing the cud.
