jaws moving much as if they were chewing the cud. It is not strange that the popular belief among the Jews was, that these animals were really ruminants. Does it mar our confidence in the words of Moses to find him saying that the coney and the hare were unclean, because though they chewed the cud, they did not part the hoof? Would it have been worth while for the great lawgiver to have gone out of his way to correct such an innocent popular misapprehension,when it would have served no great practical end? If the object of the Pentateuch had been professedly scientific, technical language would have been in place; but as it was not, we find in it only the language which would be best understood by the people addressed. To the literature of the Bible, not less than to the membership of the Christian church, the parable of the "tares and the wheat" has pertinent application. To have transformed the Bible into a dry college text-book, would have destroyed its influence altogether. It is easier for us, in the process of interpretation, to eliminate from the Bible the rhetorical and literary elements natural to it in the times when it was written than for its writers to have made it effective while clothing its eternal ideas in any of the changing scientific dialects of far distant ages.
