Exegesis

The conjunction kîmaʿălē {כִֽי־מַעֲלֵ֧ה | kîmaʿălē} ‘because brings up’ introduces the rationale, followed by the verbless clause gērāh hēmāh ûparsāh lōʾ hiphrīsû {גֵרָה הֵמָּה וּפַרְסָה לֹא הִפְרִיסוּ | gērāh hēmāh ûparsāh lōʾ hiphrīsû} ‘although they bring up the cud, they do not divide the hoof’.

In context — Deuteronomy 14:7

However, of those that bring up the cud or of those that have a split hoof—you shall not eat these: the camel, the rabbit, and the hyrax —for although they bring up the cud, they do not split the hoof; they are unclean for you.
