However, the concept of unclean animals, including rodents, is addressed in the New Testament, particularly in discussions about dietary laws and purity (e.g., Acts 10:14-15, where Peter is told not to call anything impure that God has made clean). Usage: The term עַכְבָּר (ʿakbār) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a mouse, a small rodent. It appears in contexts related to dietary laws and unclean animals. Context: The Hebrew word עַכְבָּר (ʿakbār) is found in several passages within the Old Testament, primarily in the context of unclean animals. In Leviticus 11:29, the mouse is listed among the creatures that are considered unclean and not to be eaten: "Of the animals that move along the ground, these are unclean for you: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard." Similarly, in Isaiah 66:17, the mouse is mentioned in a prophetic context, highlighting the abominations of those who eat unclean animals: "Those who consecrate and purify themselves to enter the groves, following one in the midst of those who eat the flesh of pigs and rats and other abominable things—they will meet their end together," declares the LORD.
