Leviticus 11:2

¹ The LORD spoke again to Moses and Aaron, telling them,

“Say to the Israelites, ‘Of all the beasts of the earth, these ones you may eat:

³ You may eat any animal that has a split hoof completely divided and that chews the cud.

⁴ But of those that only chew the cud or only have a divided hoof, you are not to eat the following: The camel, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
