Leviticus 11:7-8; “And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. 8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.”
The story of the Jaredites sailing to America supposedly took place sometime between BC 2600-2100.
You’ll remember the Jaredites left the Tower of Babel and sailed to the “promised land” when God destroyed the tower and scattered the people.
1. The Bible gives no indication the Israelites were even a nation at that time.
2. Israelites were commanded not to eat pork.
3. There were no forms of swine on the American continent until the time of Spanish explorers. See BoM Metallurgy.
