Hoof
Hoof
(, parsah’, cloven, i.e. a cleft hoof as of neat cattle, Exo 10:26; Ezekiel 22; Mic 4:13, etc.; hence of the horse, though not cloven, Isa 5:28; Jeremiah 57:3; claws of any animal, Zec 11:16). In Lev 11:3 sq.; Deu 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.

Hoof
Lev 11:3 (c) The teaching of this passage may be that the hoof which is divided represents a walk that is divided. Those who walk with GOD should not pretend to be walking with the world. Those who walk with the world should not pretend to the walking with GOD. The Lord calls us to a path of separation. We are to walk in the Spirit as a consecrated people. Otherwise, we are not true to our Lord.
2Ki 19:28 (a) This type is used by the Lord to describe His power and ability to return Sennacherib back to his own land, and the ease with which He would do it. It is as though GOD put a bridle on Sennacherib and directed him back to his own land. It might be described as a farmer putting a ring in the nose of a bull, or a fisherman catching a fish with a hook and line. (See 2Ki 19:35 and 2Ki 19:37; Isa 37:29; Pro 21:1).
Eze 29:4 (a) This figure represents the power of the enemy to subdue and conquer Pharaoh. Assyria was probably the one who used the hook, and the hooks were his various types of warfare and war machines. He chained his captives. The same figure applies to Gog and Magog in Eze 38:4. Here it refers especially to that great day when GOD will come to judge the nations of the earth and to tame their wrath.
