'Hoof' in the Bible

Therefore, our livestock too shall go with us; not a hoof shall be left behind, for we shall take some of them to serve the Lord our God. And until we arrive there, we ourselves do not know with what we shall serve the Lord.”

Whatever divides a hoof, thus making split hoofs, and chews the cud, among the animals, that you may eat.

Nevertheless, you are not to eat of these, among those which chew the cud, or among those which divide the hoof: the camel, for though it chews cud, it does not divide the hoof, it is unclean to you.

Likewise, the shaphan, for though it chews cud, it does not divide the hoof, it is unclean to you;

the rabbit also, for though it chews cud, it does not divide the hoof, it is unclean to you;

and the pig, for though it divides the hoof, thus making a split hoof, it does not chew cud, it is unclean to you.

Concerning all the animals which divide the hoof but do not make a split hoof, or which do not chew cud, they are unclean to you: whoever touches them becomes unclean.

Any animal that divides the hoof and has the hoof split in two and chews the cud, among the animals, that you may eat.

Nevertheless, you are not to eat of these among those which chew the cud, or among those that divide the hoof in two: the camel and the rabbit and the shaphan, for though they chew the cud, they do not divide the hoof; they are unclean for you.

The pig, because it divides the hoof but does not chew the cud, it is unclean for you. You shall not eat any of their flesh nor touch their carcasses.

Their legs were straight and their feet were like a calf’s hoof, and they gleamed like burnished bronze.
