Talk:Kosher animals

message: Why is there a picture of an East African Naked Mole Rat on this page?  Is this intended as a joke?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.177.52.111 (talk) 06:52, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. I found the picture of the fruit-eating bat especially questionable and replaced it with a turtle dove.  I would support only Kosher animals be pictured since they are the topic of the article.  I will go ahead and make the change if no one objects. Borock (talk) 16:08, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

message: Why say that goat is seldom eaten in the west? It isn't as popular as lamb, but it is surely eaten, and is delicious.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.175.25.120 (talk) 15:25, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As I understand it, because honey is not the product of the bee itself (it is neither a biological product like eggs, or excrement) but essentially just nectar being transported by the bee, it is kosher.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.112.4.169 (talk) 06:05, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

message: It's not really cloven. It's two out of five possible toes. Uncloven is one toe.  Nothing was ever cleft.  Not sure how to include this in the article.Borock (talk) 19:29, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

message: The Septuagint is irrelevant to the concepts of Kashrut of any surviving Jews, yet too much of the article is devoted to comparing the Septuagint with the Masoretic Text instead of referencing actual codes of Jewish law. At most, the Septuagint should be an aside, perhaps a paragraph toward the end of the article; today it is relevant only to Christians, to whom Kashrut does not apply. פֿינצטערניש (Fintsternish), she/her (talk) 14:27, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. The Septuagint's interpretation of these animals and birds should be of less consequence to Jews as, let's say, to Christians, but many of these animals and birds cannot be eaten anyway, and, therefore, there is no real tradition as to their being slaughtered, eaten and consumed by Jews. What we do find, however, is that rabbinic tradition is rich in its own description and identification of some of these animals and birds, such as what we find discussed in the Babylonian Talmud (Hullin), and in the Aramaic Targumim (Targum Onkelos and the ancient Palestinian Targum), as well as in the Judeo-Arabic translation of the Torah (Pentateuch) by 10th-century rabbi and scholar, Saadia Gaon, or by Rashi, among others. In my view, it would be good to correct the translations of Hebrew words by citing specifically the source(s) from which they are taken.Davidbena (talk) 16:28, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

message: There are multiple sections in this article that include external links to Leviticus, Deuteronomy, or similar followed by something in quotation marks. However in many cases the linked passages do not include the specific words found in the quotes. I think either the links need to be adjusted to point to a translation that matches the quotes, or the quotes need to be removed, or new quotes need to be pulled that match the links.
Here's an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosher_animals#Flying_insects
Link to Deuteronomy 14:19, which reads "And all winged insects are unclean for you; they shall not be eaten", followed by the quote "flying creeping things". Where did these words come from?
I'm not versed enough in scripture to do the relevant research to decide if this is a good idea, but I can certainly go through and find more offending sections if people agree that this is an issue. RassGroots (talk) 18:52, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
