In Deuteronomy 14:7 and Leviticus 11:6, the feminine singular absolute form occurs in a clause identifying an animal as bringing up the cud without a divided hoof. The APB renders the animal as “hare” and states that it is unclean.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Deuteronomy 14:7 and Leviticus 11:6, the APB presents the term as “hare” within the dietary description. This rendering is confirmed by the animal's place in each clause rather than by alignment alone.
