“The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.”
Every animal that does not have a divided hoof or that does not chew the cud is unclean for you; whoever touches the carcass of any of them will be unclean. The comprehensive summary for land animals: every animal lacking either of the two clean criteria is unclean, and touching the carcass of any such animal produces ritual impurity. The summary reinforces the foundational criteria of verses 3–8 and extends the carcass-contact impurity to cover all unclean land animals, not only the four specifically named in verses 4–7.
