Midrash sur Le Deutéronome 14:8
וְאֶת־הַ֠חֲזִיר כִּֽי־מַפְרִ֨יס פַּרְסָ֥ה הוּא֙ וְלֹ֣א גֵרָ֔ה טָמֵ֥א ה֖וּא לָכֶ֑ם מִבְּשָׂרָם֙ לֹ֣א תֹאכֵ֔לוּ וּבְנִבְלָתָ֖ם לֹ֥א תִגָּֽעוּ׃ (ס)
ni le porc, parce qu’il a l’ongle fendu, mais ne rumine point: il sera impur pour vous. Ne mangez point de leur chair, et ne touchez point à leur cadavre.
