Evidence of Superhuman Knowledge in the Torah: Could a Human 3,000 Years Ago Recognize All Animals?

One of the many examples of the truth in the Torah can be found in the laws of kashrut. The Torah states that there are two signs of purity in kosher animals::

A. Split hoof – meaning the hooves are divided and not solid..

B. Chewing the cud – meaning the food is digested in the intestines multiple times..

The Torah reveals that in every animal existing in our world, except for four animals that it mentions, the two signs of purity will either both be present or neither will be present. In other words, the signs of kashrut depend on each other – the presence of one sign of purity necessarily indicates the presence of the other, and the absence of one sign of purity necessarily indicates the absence of the other..

In the laws of kashrut, the Creator commands the Jewish people to eat only animals that have both signs of kashrut: split hooves and chew the cud. But then warns that there are only four exceptional animals that only have one sign of kashrut, so we should not mistakenly think they are kosher too.

The Torah promises and declares that in the entire world there are only four exceptional types of animals with only one sign of purity, which it details: the camel, the hyrax, and the hare are all those that chew the cud but do not have split hooves, and the pig is the only one with split hooves but does not chew the cud..

"Any animal that has a split hoof completely divided and that chews the cud among the animals, you may eat. Yet these may you not eat from those that chew the cud or that have split hooves: the camel, because it chews the cud but does not have a split hoof – it is unclean for you; the hyrax, because it chews the cud but does not have a split hoof – it is unclean for you; and the hare, because it chews the cud but does not have divided hooves – it is unclean for you; and the pig, because it has split hooves that are completely divided, but it does not chew the cud – it is unclean for you" (Leviticus 11:3-7)..

In other words, the Torah acknowledges all existing animals in the world and affirms "In all existing animals, chewing the cud and having split hooves are interdependent. When one exists – the second surely exists, and when one does not exist – the second surely does not exist. Except for four animals that have only one sign they are: camel, hyrax, hare, and pig".

From then until today, throughout history and all scientific and natural research, no animal has been found to contradict these rules.. There has never been found an animal with only one sign of purity, except for those four animals mentioned in the Torah. It is needless to say that no human could commit for generations to a fact that requires knowledge of all types of animals existing worldwide. Especially considering that in those times, humanity did not have sophisticated research tools, nor could they know detailed information about the types of animals, especially in continents unknown at the time.

Moreover, if it were a human trying to insert a book and claim it is divine, surely they would not include a fact that could be disproven, since finding even one mistake in the book would nullify its divinity.

No human can know such information, only the one who created the world and has complete control over nature.. Therefore, it leaves only one logical possibility for identifying the source of this knowledge: Torah from heaven..
