Pergunta: Por que o Livro de Mórmon mencionar suína se eles estavam vivendo a Lei de Moisés?
Question: Why would the Book of Mormon mention swine if they were living the Law of Moses?
"Swine" and "sow" are mentioned in the Nephite portion of the Book of Mormon with a tone of disgust (3 Nephi 7:8; 14:6). That's what we would expect among people who even nominally followed the constraints of the law of Moses on eating pork. But the non-Israelite Jaredites reveal no sensitivity about using "swine" as food (Ether 9:18). The peccary or wild pig was abundantly present throughout most of Mesoamerica, being valued both for its flesh and because it kills snakes in the wild.[1]
