Lev 11,2-3: "Mluvte k Izraelcum: Ze vsech zvirat na zaem smite jist tyto zivocichy: Vsechno, co ma rozdelena kopyta tak, ze jsou kopyta rozpolcena uplne, prezvykavce mezi zviraty, ty smite jist."
Chewing the cud (prezvykovat) signifies receiving the word of God with much consideration and reconsideration. Just as a cow chews its cud, we should consider and reconsider the word of God. We may do this while we pray- read early in the morning. As we are pray- reading, we may consider and reconsider the word. This is to chew the cud to receive nourishment by reconsidering what we receive from God's word.
Beasts that divide the hoof and chew the cud (vv. 2-3) signify persons who have discernment in their activities and who receive the word of God with much reconsideration. A divided hoof signifies discernment. A horse has whole hooves, not divided hooves. Hence, a horse signifies a person who does not have the power, the strength, to discern things. Such a person cannot discern what things are of God and what things are of Satan, what things are heavenly and what things are earthly, what things are spiritual and what things are fleshly. We need to discern not only what is good and what is bad but also what is of our spirit and what is of our flesh, as well as what things are of the new man and what things are of the old man.
