HARE ( Leviticus 11:6 , Deuteronomy 14:7 ). Four species of hare are known in Palestine, of which the commonest is the Lepus syriacus . The hare does not really ‘chew the cud,’ though, like the coney, it appears to do so; it was, however, unclean because it did not ‘divide the hoof.’ Hares are to-day eaten by the Arabs.
