Every animal with hooves not completely divided or that does not chew the cud is unclean for you. Whoever touches any of them will be unclean.
even every beast which is dividing the hoof, and is not cloven-footed, and the cud is not bringing up--unclean they are to you; any one who is coming against them is unclean.
Every beast that hath cloven hoofs, but not feet quite split open, nor cheweth the cud, shall be unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.
