Swine
From BibleWiki
(Heb. hazir), regarded as the most unclean and the most abhorred of all animals (Lev 11:7; Isa 65:4; 66:3, 17; Lk 15:15, 16). A herd of swine were drowned in the Sea of Galilee (Lk 8:32, 33). Spoken of figuratively in Mt 7:6 (see Prov 11:22). It is frequently mentioned as a wild animal, and is evidently the wild boar (Arab. khanzir), which is common among the marshes of the Jordan valley (Ps 8013).
