Third exception: the hare.
What Does Leviticus 11:6 Mean?
A third animal is listed that meets only one condition. The hare, while it chews the cud, lacks the cloven hoof distinction.
The pattern reinforces clarity. By naming specific animals that fail the test, the law leaves no ambiguity about what is forbidden.
