Leviticus 11:4 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

The camel — An usual food in Arabia, but yielding bad nourishment. Divideth not the hoof — So as to have his foot cloven in two, which being expressed, Leviticus 11:3, is here to be understood. Otherwise the camel's hoof is divided, but it is but a small and imperfect division.

Leviticus 11:4

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.
