"The hare, because he cheweth the cud" 11:5-6

The Bible says that hares and coneys are unclean because they "chew the cud" but do not part the hoof. But hares and coneys are not ruminants and they do not "chew the cud."

"These are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls ... the bat." 11:13, 19

Bats are birds to the biblical God.

"All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you." 11:20

Four-legged fowls are abominations.

"All other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you." 11:23

Be sure to watch out for those "other flying creeping things which have four feet." (I wish God wouldn't get so technical!) I guess he must mean four-legged insects. You'd think that God, who made the insects, and made so many of them (at least several million species), would know how many legs they have!

The law of leprosy 13:1-28

If a man thinks he might have leprosy, he must be examined by a priest. If the priest sees a white hair that is more than skin deep, he will diagnose leprosy and declare him unclean. etc., etc. The proecedure goes on for another bizrarre fifty verses.

"The priest shall command that one of the birds be killed ... As for the living bird, he shall take it ... and shall dip ... the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed....." 14:5-6

God's cure for leprosy.
