(See Gill on Deuteronomy 14:6)

Deuteronomy 14:8 In-Context

6 and every animal that parts the hoof and cleaves the cleft into two claws and chews the cud among the beasts that ye shall eat.
7 Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of those that chew the cud or of those that divide the cloven hoof: the camel and the hare and the coney, for they chew the cud, but do not divide the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you;
8 and the swine, because it divides the hoof, yet does not chew the cud, it is unclean unto you. Ye shall not eat of their flesh nor touch their dead carcase.
9 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat,
10 but whatever does not have fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.
