Some people say we can't trust the Bible because it says the rabbit 'chews the cud' and rabbits don't chew the cud. The Bible says that only in English. In Hebrew is says they chew the 'gerah' which is a thing pursued again because it was not understood. [1]

  1. gerah כרה - pursue ג the revelation ר that was not understood ה.

The rabbit actually passes its food through a second time by eating its night droppings. Unlike the clean animals that meditate on God’s word, the rabbit-like teacher knows the word of God but is not a good teacher. The teacher symbolized by rabbit or hare is not a good teacher because the knowledge of God does not produce a separated hoof. He does not live what he knows. Without discernment of what to celebrate, the teacher cannot dedicate his life to God.
