James Hastings Dictionary of the Bible: Hare


Subjects in this Topic:

HARE (Lev_11:6, Deu_14:7).—Four species of hare are known in Palestine, of which the commonest is the Lepus syriacus. The hare does not really ‘chew the cud,’ though, like the coney, it appears to do so; it was, however, unclean because it did not ‘divide the hoof.’ Hares are to-day eaten by the Arabs.
