== | ==Unclean animals== | ||
God states that cud-chewing animals with split hooves can be eaten (Leviticus:11:3; Deuteronomy:14:6). These specifically include the cattle, sheep, goat, deer and gazelle families (Deuteronomy:14:4-5). | |||
He also lists such animals as camels, rabbits and pigs as being unclean, or unfit to eat (Leviticus:11:4-8). He later lists such "creeping things" as moles, mice and lizards as unfit to eat (Leviticus:11:29-31), as well as four-footed animals with paws (cats, dogs, bears, lions, tigers, etc.) as unclean (Leviticus:11:27). | |||
He tells us that salt and freshwater fish with fins and scales may be eaten (Leviticus:11:9-12), but water creatures without those characteristics (catfish, lobsters, crabs, shrimp, mussels, clams, oysters, squid, octopi, etc.) should not be eaten. | |||
God also lists birds and other flying creatures that are unclean for consumption (Leviticus:11:13-19). He identifies carrion eaters and birds of prey as unclean, plus ostriches, storks, herons and bats. | |||
