Swine in Jewish-Christian Polemics
Source Jacob ben Reuben: Milhamot ha-Shem 12th century, Provence
if it is because of the abomination, behold, I can give you proofs that you should likewise prohibit the pig because abomination, for the Scripture applies the same principle to it as to the mouse, for it is written: Those who ... eat... the flesh of the swine, the reptile, and the mouse, shall one and all come to an end--declares the LORD [Is.66,17]
