Exegesis
The paired participial phrases mimmăʿălê haggērāh {מִמַּעֲלֵי הַגֵּרָה | mimmăʿălê haggērāh} ‘from those that bring up the cud’ and ûmimmapphrīsê happarsāh {וּמִמַּפְרִיסֵי הַפַּרְסָה | ûmimmapphrīsê happarsāh} ‘and from those that divide the hoof’ set dual criteria.
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.
