Leviticus 11

Some Names of some Beasts, and Birds, and Fishes; as also of some Trees, and Apparel; and some other Hebrew words, having no mate in Scripture, are to us now, and so to the modern Jewes, of uncertain signification. See also the Annotations on Esay III. 18,—23. and on Jer. XVII. 3.

Leviticus 11:3

Hoof] The Beasts, dividing the hoof, that is, into two clawes; and also chewing the cud, were clean, and to be eaten; See ver. 26. Deut. XIV. 6.

Leviticus 11:9

Fins] Fish (here we meet with a phrase of a flesh of fish, Levit. XI. 11. and, Num. XI. 22. as well as, 1 Cor. XV. 39.) that had Fins and Scales, were likewise cleane, and to be eaten, Deut. XIV. 9, 10.
