In Lev 11:24-28 there follow still further and more precise instructions, concerning defilement through contact with the carcases (i.e., the carrion) of the animals already mentioned. These instructions relate first of all ( Lev 11:24 and Lev 11:25) to aquatic and winged animals, which were not to be eaten because they were unclean (the expression "for these" in Lev 11:24 relates to them); and then ( Lev 11:26-28) to quadrupeds, both cattle that have not the hoof thoroughly divided and do not ruminate ( Lev 11:26), and animals that go upon their hands, i.e., upon paws, and have no hoofs, such as cats, dogs, bears, etc. Leviticus 11:27
