(דברים יד ו) אַךְ אֶת זֶה לֹא תֹאכְלוּ וְגוֹ׳ הַשְּׁסוּעָה, אָמַר רַבִּי עֲקִיבָה: וְכִי מֹשֶׁה קְנִיגִי הָיָה אוֹ בַּלִּיסְטְרִי הָיָה? אֶלָּא מִכָּן תְּשׁוּבָה לָאוֹמְרִים אֵין תּוֹרָה מִן הַשָּׁמַיִם.

Pisqa’ 102²³²
- “But this you shall not eat . . . for they ruminate the cud, but do not part the hoof” (Dt. 14:7). Said R. Akiva: Now, was Moses a hunter or an archer? Rather, from this [detailed knowledge of the signs of unclean animals] do we reply to those who say that the Torah is not from Heaven!
