Footnotes

  1. 1 Heb “the animal,” but as a collective plural, and so throughout this chapter.
  2. 2 Heb “every divider of hoof and cleaver of the cleft of hooves”; , “parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted.”
  3. 3 Heb “bringer up of the cud” (a few of the ancient versions include the conjunction “and,” but it does not appear in the ). The following verses make it clear that both dividing the hoof and chewing the cud were required; one of these conditions would not be enough to make the animal suitable for eating without the other.
