The Torah says that the hair and the hyrax are ruminants and for many years this was a major question against the Torah. According to conventional science, when [music] you examine the hair and the hyrax, they are not ruminants. A cow, a sheep, all of these are ruminants. They have several stomachs, they pull up grass, put it into the stomach, bring it back up to the mouth, and then it goes [music] down to the second stomach and gets digested. The hair does not have this. But here too, as with other things, science advances [music] and the question turns into amazement. We see how the creator of the world knew everything that scientists are only discovering in recent generations. In studies conducted on the hair and the shafan, by shafan I mean the biblical shafan, not the rock hyrax. Today it is called a rabbit. It looks like a hair, only its ears are shorter. To this day, the name shafan has somewhat remained. For example, people say guinea pig, literally shafan in its own in Hebrew. Anyone who checks in the medical world will see that when research is done, [music] these experiments are not conducted on the rock hyrax. They do it on the rabbit or they say that the magician pulled a shafan out of the hat. Did he pull out a rock hyrax? He pulled out a rabbit and that is actually the real name. The hair and the biblical shafan, it has been revealed in recent studies, both have a very unique way of chewing the cud. When they eat food, the food is not digested immediately. It enters the stomach, goes through a certain process, and turns into small pellets of soft food. These animals expel this food outside and eat it again. When it enters the digestive stomach, you can see that it has two compartments. One compartment is for new food that is supposed to come out and be eaten again, and the other compartment is for food that has been eaten a second time, and only then is it digested and excreted as pellets.
