What does the bible say:(Leviticus chapter 11 verset 1-9)
The eternal said to Moses and Aaron:
"Send these instructions to the Israelites: These are the animals that you can eat among all the beasts that live on the earth. You may eat any animal that has a cloven hoof or cloven foot and is ruminating. On the other hand, you will not eat any of those who only chew the cud or have only the cloven hoof. Thus, you will not eat the camel, which chews the cud but does not have a cloven hoof; you will consider it unclean.You will not eat the hyrax, which ruminates but does not have a split hoof; you will consider it unclean. You will not eat the hare, which ruminates but does not have a split hoof; you will consider it unclean. You will not eat the pig, which has a split hoof, a forked foot but does not ruminate; you will consider it unclean. You will not eat their meat or touch their dead body; you will regard them as unclean. ”
