Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term for fin is πτερύγιον (pterygion), which is Strong's Greek Number G4419. This term is used in the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, to translate the Hebrew סְנַפִּיר. The Greek term similarly refers to the fin of a fish, maintaining the same context of dietary laws and the classification of clean and unclean animals. Usage: The term סְנַפִּיר is used in the context of describing the fins of aquatic creatures, particularly in the dietary laws given to the Israelites. Context: The Hebrew word סְנַפִּיר (sənappîr) appears in the context of the dietary laws outlined in the Torah, specifically in Leviticus 11:9-12 and Deuteronomy 14:9-10. These passages provide guidelines for the Israelites regarding which aquatic animals are considered clean and permissible to eat. According to these laws, only those sea creatures that have both fins (סְנַפִּיר) and scales are deemed clean. The presence of fins and scales is a distinguishing feature that separates clean fish from unclean aquatic animals, which are not to be consumed. This classification underscores the importance of adhering to divine instructions for maintaining ritual purity and obedience to God's commandments. The term סְנַפִּיר, therefore, plays a crucial role in the dietary regulations that form part of the broader Levitical code, emphasizing the distinctiveness of the Israelite community in their covenant relationship with God.
