Leviticus 11:6 - Scofield Reference Notes

Bible Comments

hare

Hebrew, arnebeth, an unidentified animal, but certainly not a hare, possessing as it is said to, characteristics not possessed by the hare. The supposed error in the text is due entirely to the translators' assumption that the English hare and the ancient "arnebeth" were identical.

Leviticus 11:6

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