Leviticus 11:7 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The Jews would not so much as name the swine, but called it another or a strange thing, lest the naming of it should tempt them to eat this meat, which was so commonly used and so much esteemed by others.

Leviticus 11:7

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