Swine


"(Heb. hazir), regarded as the most unclean and the most abhorred" "of all animals (Lev. 11:7; Isa. 65:4; 66:3, 17; Luke 15:15, 16)." "A herd of swine were drowned in the Sea of Galilee (Luke 8:32," 33). Spoken of figuratively in Matt. 7:6 (see Prov. 11:22). It "is frequently mentioned as a wild animal, and is evidently the" "wild boar (Arab. khanzir), which is common among the marshes of" the Jordan valley (Ps. 80:13).
