( ôִּøְñָä , parsah', cloven, i.e. a cleft hoof as of neat cattle, Exo_10:26; Ezekiel 22; Mic_4:13, etc.; hence of the horse, though not cloven, Isa_5:28; Jeremiah 57:3; “claws” of any animal, Zec_11:16). In Lev_11:3 sq.; Deu_4:6 sq., the “parting of the hoof” is made one of the main distinctions between clean and unclean animals; and this is applied even to the camel, after a popular rather than a scientific classification.
