1For Moses says: You shall not eat the swine, nor the eagle, nor the falcon, nor the raven.
2Nor any fish that has no scales.
3He received three decrees in his understanding.
4Moreover, the Lord said to them in Deuteronomy: And I will establish my decrees for this people.
5Therefore it is not the command of God not to eat, but Moses spoke in spirit.
6As for the swine, he mentioned this: You shall not join yourself to men who are like swine.
7That is, when they live in abundance, they forget the Lord, but when they are in need, they acknowledge the Lord.
8Just as the swine, when it eats, does not know its master, but when it is hungry it squeals.
