Berean Strong's Lexicon arnebeth: Hare Original Word: אַרְנֶבֶת Word Origin: The origin of the word is uncertain, but it is a Hebrew term used in the context of dietary laws. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for "arnebeth," as the term is specific to the Hebrew dietary laws and does not appear in the New Testament. Usage: The term "arnebeth" refers to a hare, a small mammal similar to a rabbit. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it is specifically mentioned in the dietary laws given to the Israelites, where it is classified as an unclean animal that should not be eaten. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, dietary laws were an essential part of religious observance, distinguishing the Israelites from surrounding nations. The hare, although it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof, which is why it is considered unclean according to Levitical law. These laws were part of the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, emphasizing holiness and separation.
