Kli Yakar: When listing the animals with only 1 kosher sign, why does the Torah begin by listing its kosher sign - just write why it's not kosher! The hypocrisy of the pig.

The parallel between the contradictory nature of the 4 animals with one kosher sign (ארנבת, שפן, גמל, חזיר) and the contradictory nature of the nations of the 4 exiles (Babylonia, Persia, Greece, Rome)

Rav Moshe Shapiro: בהמה has two meanings, domesticated animals and an inclusive meaning (wild and domesticated animals). Why does the Torah say: זאת החיה אשר תאכלו מכל הבהמה - why does the Torah use the word חיה when listing animals from both categories?
