The clean animals of the Bible are described as those who 'chew the cud' and have a parted hoof. [1] |

The actual word 'gerah' for 'chew the cud' means to 'pursue the revelation that was not understood'. [v 1]

The cow will eat something and regurgitate it, up to three times, to chew it again and again until everything is digested. The teacher who is represented by the clean animal, learns from God's word, then 'chews the cud', thinking about it over and over again. |

The clean animal also has a split hoof. It is parted in two. Separation represents holiness. When the teacher has studied the word, and meditated on it, it changes his life. He lives more holy by it. |

The symbol of the cow reminds us to learn from people who have a better walk with God from meditating (or chewing) on God’s word.
