(פִּרְסָה, parsah', cloven, i.e. a cleft hoof as of neat cattle, Exodus 10:26; Ezekiel 22; Micah 4:13, etc.; hence of the horse, though not cloven, Isaiah 5:28; Jeremiah 57:3; "claws" of any animal, Zechariah 11:16). In Leviticus 11:3 sq.; Deuteronomy 4:6 sq., the "parting of the hoof" is made one of the main distinctions between clean and unclean animals; and this is applied even to the camel, after a popular rather than a scientific classification. (See CAMEL).
