Bible Question: does it say in the bible that we can eat the flesh of animals with cloven hooves..if so ..then why are we NOT supposed to eat swine. pigs have cloven hooves |
Bible Answer: It must also be a chewer of the cud if it has split hooves. (Leviticus 11:4-8) 4 “‘Only this is what you must not eat among the chewers of the cud and the splitters of the hoof: the camel, because it is a chewer of the cud but is no splitter of the hoof. It is unclean for you. 5 Also the rock badger, because it is a chewer of the cud but does not split the hoof. It is unclean for you. 6 Also the hare, because it is a chewer of the cud but it does not have the hoof split. It is unclean for you. 7 Also the pig, because it is a splitter of the hoof and a former of a cleft in the hoof, but it itself does not chew the cud. It is unclean for you. 8 You must not eat any of their flesh, and you must not touch their dead body. They are unclean for you. This is also repeated in Deuteronomy 14:3-8 This was a prohibition placed on the Jews and proselytes under the Mosaic Law. |
