Deuteronomy 14:6
Context14:6 You may eat any animal that has hooves divided into two parts and that chews the cud. 1
Deuteronomy 14:8
Context14:8 Also the pig is ritually impure to you; though it has divided hooves, 2 it does not chew the cud. You may not eat their meat or even touch their remains.


[14:6] 1 tn The Hebrew text includes “among the animals.” This has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons.
[14:8] 2 tc The MT lacks (probably by haplography) the phrase וְשֹׁסַע שֶׁסַע פַּרְסָה (vÿshosa’ shesa’ parsah, “and is clovenfooted,” i.e., “has parted hooves”), a phrase found in the otherwise exact parallel in Lev 11:7. The LXX and Smr attest the longer reading here. The meaning is, however, clear without it.
