Exegesis
This is followed by two coordinated participles, mafreset {מַפְרֶסֶת | māf-rê-seṯ} ‘splitting’ and veshosaat {וְשֹׁסַעַת | wə-šō·śa·ʿat} ‘and splitting’, each describing parsah {פַּרְסָה | par-sāh} ‘hoof’ and its division into shesa {שֶׁסַע | še·saʿ} ‘a split’ of shtei perasot {שְׁתֵּי פְרָסוֹת | šə-tê pə-rā-sōt} ‘two hooves’ to reinforce complete separation.
In context — Deuteronomy 14:6
And every animal that divides the hoof and splits it into two hoofs, and that brings up the cud among the animals, you shall eat .
