BOAR . The wild boar (Arab. [Note: Arabic.] khanzir ) is quite common in the Jordan Valley, specially in the reed thickets near the Dead Sea. It is also found on Mount Tabor. It is still noted for its destructiveness ( Psalms 80:18 ). Though a forbidden food to the Moslem as well as the Jew ( Leviticus 11:7 , Deuteronomy 14:8 ), the flesh is eaten by the nominally Moslem Bedouin of Palestine. See Swine.
