Leviticus 11:3

You may eat any animal that has a split hoof and chews the cud (Hebr. ma'ale gera).
[Cattle, sheep, and goats are cloven-hoofed animals whose hooves are divided into two parts. These are animals that chew the cud and have a complex stomach system with three or four chambers. In Deut. 14:4–6, a total of ten animals, both domestic and wild, are mentioned as clean. Many different suggestions have been made as to what makes animals clean or unclean. There are several purely practical implications, such as pork containing trichinella, etc. But perhaps the simplest explanation is that the "Israelites' diet" should also resemble "God's diet." If it could not be sacrificed to God, then it was not suitable to eat either. The rules about what could be eaten set the Israelites apart from other peoples. It was difficult to have fellowship if you could not eat together, see also Mark 7:19; Acts 10:13, 15, 28. These dietary commandments are similar to the commandment Adam and Eve received not to eat from a certain tree, see Gen. 3:2.]
