“Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals, the male and his mate, and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and his mate, and seven pairs of the birds of the heavens also, male and female, to keep their offspring alive on the face of all the earth” (Genesis 7:2–3)
Land animals (Leviticus 11:1–8; 26–30; Deuteronomy 14:6–8) that had completely split or “cleft” hooves and chewed the cud were considered clean and suitable for eating. Any land animals that did not meet this rule were unclean.
Sounds to me like monke would be unclean, so it checks out.
Also, the bible didn’t say only 2 monke
“Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals, the male and his mate, and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and his mate, and seven pairs of the birds of the heavens also, male and female, to keep their offspring alive on the face of all the earth” (Genesis 7:2–3)
Poster is both dumb and inaccurate.

Depends on which book you’re reading. One says 2, one says 7, it’s all BS regardless.
“Poster is both dumb and inaccurate”
Just like the bible.
I’m not an expert, but I don’t think monkeys would have been considered clean in this context though. I’m pretty sure they’re not kosher.
Who knows. The person who wrote that probably didn’t know what a monkey was. I don’t think there are monkeys native to the region, so the only people who likely saw them were nobility and the tradesmen who worked for them.
Yeah there had to be a time afterwards where monkeys were first discovered and named.
Definitely not kosher
Let’s not eat monkeys, shall we?
Well of course not, they aren’t kosher
Was about to say something along the lines of this.
