Leviticus 11:5

And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.

4

Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

5

And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

6

And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

7

And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Levitical Dietary Law

The verse explicitly states that the coney is "unclean unto you" due to specific biological characteristics (chewing the cud but not dividing the hoof). This directly establishes a dietary restriction based on the animal's physical attributes, which is a core component of the Levitical Dietary Law. There is no plausible counter-argument that would detach this verse from supporting the concept of Levitical Dietary Law.
