Hare

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

Of the same genus as the rabbit, prohibited to the Jews for food, Leviticus 11:6 , because, though it "cheweth the cud," it "divideth not the hoof." No species of hare is known which strictly chews the cud. There were several varieties of the hare in Syria.
