Usage: The term פַרְסָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the hoof of an animal, particularly in the context of dietary laws where animals with split hooves are considered clean. Context: פַרְסָה (parsa) appears in the context of the dietary laws given to the Israelites, specifically in Leviticus and Deuteronomy. The term is used to describe animals that have a split hoof and chew the cud, which are deemed clean and permissible for consumption. This characteristic is a key criterion in distinguishing between clean and unclean animals. For example, in Leviticus 11:3 (BSB), it states, "You may eat any animal that has a split hoof completely divided and that chews the cud." Similarly, Deuteronomy 14:6 (BSB) reiterates, "You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and that chews the cud." The split hoof is a physical feature that signifies the animal's suitability for consumption according to the Mosaic Law. The emphasis on the split hoof highlights the importance of discernment and obedience in following God's commandments regarding dietary practices.
