Usage: The Hebrew word "senappir" refers to the fin of a fish. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it is used to describe the physical characteristic of aquatic creatures that are considered clean and permissible to eat according to the dietary laws given to the Israelites. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, dietary laws were an integral part of religious observance and identity. The laws concerning clean and unclean animals are detailed in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. Fins and scales were criteria for determining which fish were clean and could be consumed. This distinction was part of a broader system of holiness and separation that defined the Israelite community.
