Claim-level biblical evidence review with contextual controls, canonical relationships, and preserved interpretive history.
How to read this entry
Evidence grades apply to individual claims, not to the headword as a whole. Strong biblical identification is kept separate from plausible or traditional interpretations, and unsupported proposals remain visible as negative evidence rather than being silently removed.
Mosaic dietary uncleanness
Leviticus and Deuteronomy explicitly classify the hare/rabbit as unclean for Israel’s food laws.
Context control: This is a covenantal dietary classification; it does not by itself assign moral evil to the animal.
Leviticus 11:6 and Deuteronomy 14:7 explicitly classify the hare/rabbit as unclean for Israel’s Mosaic dietary law.
Grade 1: Explicit biblical interpretationScope: This is a covenantal dietary classification; it does not by itself assign moral evil to the animal.

No Satan or evil-host code
The canonical hare texts concern dietary classification and do not identify the animal with Satan or evil hosts.
Context control: Ritual/dietary uncleanness must not be converted into an intrinsic moral or demonic symbolism.
Scripture does not identify the hare with Satan or evil hosts; its explicit “unclean” status is dietary/covenantal, so a universal moral-demonic hare code lacks biblical evidence.
Grade 7: Insufficient biblical evidenceScope: Ritual/dietary uncleanness must not be converted into an intrinsic moral or demonic symbolism.
Residual uncertainty: No material residual uncertainty beyond the stated scope limitation.
