Boyd’s Bible Dictionary
:
(twisted-foot). A faulty rendering.
The Septuagint
has “land-crocodile,” and doubtless one of the large
lizard
species is meant (
Lev. 11:29
29
These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind, (Leviticus 11:29)
).
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
One of the
unclean animals
. The
Hebrew
word is supposed to refer to a
lizard
, but to what species is not known: perhaps the
dhab
of the Arabs, a large lizard. The RV has “great lizard.” The tortoise, however, is common in
Palestine
(
Lev. 11:29
29
These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind, (Leviticus 11:29)
).
