Context — Dietary Laws in Deuteronomygenerated
Deuteronomy 14:6 provides specific guidelines for the Israelites regarding which animals are clean and permissible to eat. This verse emphasizes the characteristics of animals that qualify as clean, focusing on their hooves and chewing habits.

The Key Word — מַפְרֶ֣סֶת, maf.Re.setgenerated
The word מַפְרֶ֣סֶת (mafreset) is a feminine singular participle derived from the verb פָּרַס (parac), meaning 'to divide.' It specifically refers to the act of dividing, particularly in the context of animal hooves.
This term is crucial in defining the dietary laws, as it indicates that the animal must have a hoof that is divided in two, a key characteristic of clean animals according to the Torah.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb governing the verse is תֹּאכֵֽלוּ, you will eat, which is followed by a noun phrase that specifies the type of animals. The structure emphasizes the conditions under which the Israelites may consume certain animals.
The sentence is built around the main clause, with several noun phrases detailing the characteristics of the animals, such as their split hooves and cud-chewing behavior.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, מַפְרֶ֣סֶת is rendered as διξηλοῦν, which suggests a similar meaning of dividing. This choice indicates a consistent understanding of the requirement for clean animals.
The use of διξηλοῦν aligns with the Greek translation's focus on the physical characteristics necessary for dietary laws.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Deuteronomy 14:6 tells the Israelites that they may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and that chews the cud. This verse is part of the dietary laws that distinguish between clean and unclean animals.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
A split hoof means that the hoof is divided into two distinct parts, which is a characteristic of clean animals according to the dietary laws.
Chewing the cud indicates that the animal has a specific digestive process, which is a requirement for it to be considered clean for consumption.
Yes, the laws specify various characteristics, including both the type of hoof and the animal's eating habits.
Many people still observe these dietary laws as part of their religious practices, while others view them as historical guidelines.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- How do the dietary laws reflect the values of the Israelite community?
- What can we learn from the distinction between clean and unclean animals?

Animal
An organized living creature endowed with sensation. The Levitical law divided animals into clean and unclean, although the distinction seems to have existed before the Flood (Gen. 7:2). The clean could be offered in sacrifice and eaten. All animals that had not cloven hoofs and did not chew the cud were unclean. The list of clean and unclean quadrupeds is set forth in the Levitical law (Deut. 14:3-20; Lev. 11).

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.

This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man.
