"Every animal that parts the hoof, and has the hoof cloven in two and chews the cud, among the animals, that may you eat."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And every beast that parted the hoof,.... In this and the two following verses two general rules are given, by which it might be known what beasts were fit for
food and what not; one is if they parted the hoof, and the other if they chewed the cud, such might be eaten; but such that only chewed the cud, but did not divide the hoof, as the camel, hare, and coney, might not be eaten; and so if they divided the hoof, and did not chew the cud, as the swine, they were alike unlawful; See Gill on Lev 11:3 ; see Gill on Lev 11:4 ; see Gill on Lev 11:5 ; see Gill on Lev 11:6 ; see Gill on Lev 11:7 ; see Gill on Lev 11:8 .
