Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Leviticus 11:3-7.


Leviticus 11:4

_ _ the camel — It does to a certain extent divide the hoof, for the foot consists of two large parts, but the division is not complete; the toes rest upon an elastic pad on which the animal goes; as a beast of burden its flesh is tough. An additional reason for its prohibition might be to keep the Israelites apart from the descendants of Ishmael.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Leviticus 11:1-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Leviticus 11:4

The camel — An usual food in Arabia, but yielding bad nourishment. Divideth not the hoof — So as to have his foot cloven in two, which being expressed, Leviticus 11:3, is here to be understood. Otherwise the camel's hoof is divided, but it is but a small and imperfect division.
