ar.ne.vet denotes the animal named in dietary instructions as unclean because it brings up the cud without a divided hoof.

The term identifies an animal included in dietary prohibitions: both verses place it among animals described as bringing up the cud but lacking a divided hoof, and therefore as unclean.

    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.
