²⁶ The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;

⁵ And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

⁷ Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you.

² Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats.
