Swine

Listen from:
The hog was pronounced unclean
(Lev. 11:7; Deut. 14:8). Priests and Arabians abstained from the meat for dietetic reasons. Swine-keeping a degrading business (Luke 15:15); yet swine were kept (Matt. 8:32). To cast “pearls before swine” was to waste truth on those who despised it (Matt. 7:6).
