Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the hare, because he cheweth the cud,.... Or, "though he chews" it:
but divideth not the hoof, he [is] unclean to you; and so not to be eaten; so Plutarch q says, that the Jews are said to abstain from the hare, disdaining it as a filthy and unclean animal, and yet was in the greatest esteem with the Romans of any four footed beast, as Martial says r: Moses, as Bochart s and other learned men observe, is the only writer that speaks of the hare as chewing the cud; though they also observe, that Aristotle t makes mention of that in common with those that do chew the cud, namely a "coagulum" or "runnet" in its stomach; his words are,
"all that have many bellies have what is called πυετια, a coagulum or runnet, and of them that have but one belly, the hare;''
only that: this creature being prone to lust, may be an emblem of lustful persons, who give up themselves to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness, Ephesians 4:19.
(The "hare" is this verse may be an animal that is now is extinct but was alive at the time of Moses. It is only other mentioned in Deuteronomy 14:7. Editor.)

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Leviticus 11:6. The hare — ארנבת arnebeth, as Bochart and others suppose, from ארה arah, to crop, and ניב nib, the produce of the ground, these animals being remarkable for destroying the fruits of the earth. That they are notorious for destroying the tender blade of the young corn, is well known. It is very likely that different species of these animals are included under the general terms שפן shaphan, and ארנבת arnebeth, for some travellers have observed that there are four or five sorts of these animals, which are used for food in the present day in those countries. See Harmer, vol. iii., p. 331, edit. 1808. Some think the mountain rat, marmot, squirrel, and hedgehog, may be intended under the word shaphan.
