Where in the Old Testament does it say that Jews cannot eat pork?

Under the Mosaic Law to the Israelites, the pig was an 'unclean animal'.
Not being a cud chewer, combined with having a split hoof, made the pig unacceptable for food or sacrifice. Leviticus 11:7; Deuteronomy 14:8.

∙ 9y agoIt simply does not say anything against the Commands of Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. Many will point to Romans 14 of Paul's or Acts 10 and Peter's dream. But Paul was addressing clean and unclean in regards to one's conscience of potentially harming or hurting another's ideas of what is right and wrong and the term meat is not in the original transcripts but inserted several centuries later in error (see 1 Corinthians 8 written around same period). Peter's dream was about God's change allowing gentiles (unclean) in with Jews (clean) for salvation. God's Dietary Laws are still in place for the Christian to adhere to.
