Boar: Occurs only in
(Psalms 80:13) The same Hebrew word is elsewhere rendered
"swine"
(Leviticus 11:7; Deuteronomy 14:8; Proverbs 11:22; Isaiah 65:4; 66:3,17) The Hebrews
abhorred swine's flesh, and accordingly none of these animals were
reared, except in the district beyond the Sea of Galilee. In the
psalm quoted above the powers that destroyed the Jewish nation are
compared to wild boars and wild beasts of the field.
