The Definition of the word Boar
Boar
Occurs only in Ps. 80:13. The same Hebrew word is elsewhere "rendered "swine" (Lev. 11:7; Deut. 14:8; Prov. 11:22; Isa. 65:4;" "66:3, 17). The Hebrews abhorred swine's flesh, and accordingly" "none of these animals were reared, except in the district beyond" the Sea of Galilee. In the psalm quoted above the powers that destroyed the Jewish nation are compared to wild boars and wild beasts of the field.
