Hebrews 11:1 – “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”
God is never incorrect. Chewing the cub means “raised up whats been swallowed”. What the rabbit does is called refection, which is essentially the same thing as ruminations, another name for the process is cecotrophy.
The rabbit partially eats then poops it out so they can eat it later when they need it...they are eating partly digested food.
So see God was not incorrect, why would He be, He made the rabbit, what creator dont know his own creation.
Human understanding, or the lack thereof is from where the error comes.
I know we all tend to assume that every word in English has an exact corresponding word in every other language that has ever existed. We have a word called “bird” that refers to those feathered things with beaks, so everybody else must have a corresponding word, right? Wrong.
Ancient Hebrew did not have a word that meant “bird.” The closest equivalent was a word that actually meant “that thing with wings,” and it was used to describe birds, bats, flying insects, and pretty much any other living creature that, well, had wings.
Jesus went so far as to say, “I tell you this, that many Gentiles will come from all over the world—from east and west—and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in the Kingdom of Heaven. But many Israelites—those for whom the Kingdom was prepared—will [not]” (Matthew 8:11-12 NLT). That said, the geographical reach of the Roman Empire never exceeded four percent of the earth’s landmasses. So, what about the other 96 percent? After all, Jesus told His disciples, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8 NLT).
you do know that the Old Testament was written in Hebrew right?

You copy and pasted this from a Quora answer. I wish you would actually think about it rather than copying an apologists OPINION because these are not your words or your thoughts.
The rabbit does not chew 'cub' or 'cud' and to say that the Bible is the inspired word of God and it was a simple misunderstanding between God and the authors calls the whole book into question! How do we know what parts the writer just misunderstood? It's kind of important.
As far as Hebrew not having not having a word that meant 'bird' that is just absurd. In ancient Hebrew, they didn't just have a word for 'that thing that flies'. That is a lie, which you would know if you bothered to research anything that you copy and pasted from somewhere on the internet.
Then in order to cover your ass for lying you try to imply that I don't know that the Bible was written in Hebrew. Which, yes, in part it was, it was also written in Aramaic and the New Testament (Where your verses are copy/pasted) was originally written in Greek.

16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
the writer was God, how could God misunderstand himself?
what is the ancient Hebrew word for bat or bird? do that research thing you talked about and tell everyone.
you just googled and found out that the Old Testament and was written in Hebrew and that the New Testament was written in Greek.
Aramaic came after Greek. if you would have done your research you would have know this. the New Testament was written after 30 AD so it couldnt have been written in Aramaic.
a Semitic language, a Syrian dialect of which was used as a lingua franca in the Near East from the 6th century BC. It gradually replaced Hebrew as the language of the Jewish people in those areas and was itself supplanted by Arabic in the 7th century AD.
