HARE

A herbivorous rodent of the family Leporidae, a mammal closely related to the rabbit. Various species have been attested in Palestine, including the Lepus syriacus, an animal slightly smaller than its European counterpart (Lepus europaeus); it is common in wooded and cultivated areas throughout the northern part of Palestine, particularly in the Esdraelon Valley. A smaller variety, with a light, sand-colored back, is the Lepus aegypticus, found in the Negeb and the Jordan Valley.

Because it “chews the cud” but “does not have divided hoofs,” the hare is classified as an unclean animal (Lev. 11:6; Deut. 14:7). Actually, it is not a ruminant but may have appeared as such to ancient observers because of its constant chewing movements.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
