The Hebrew phrase for ‘chew the cud’ actually means means ‘raising up what has been swallowed’.Rabbits practice 'refection' in which indigestible vegetable matter is passed and eaten again,which the original Hebrew meant.

He didn't "forget" germ theory - they would not have understood it because it had not been "discovered" yet...so instead of "explaining" it, He simply gave some of the most advanced and accurate medical, nursing, and daily hygiene laws possible in their day.
