| Summary: | The article highlights that the formidable army of Sennacherib, which had come against the helpless Egyptians in 701 B.C.E., was defeated by field mice that had gnawed through the army's bowstrings and shield straps prior to battle. It discusses that humans have been eating rodents since early times, but Leviticus 11:29 prohibits consumption of mice and mentions that other biblical mentions of "mice" include Isaiah 2:20, where moles are prophesied to destroy people's gold and silver idols. |
