Musar zu Schemot 10:26
וְגַם־מִקְנֵ֜נוּ יֵלֵ֣ךְ עִמָּ֗נוּ לֹ֤א תִשָּׁאֵר֙ פַּרְסָ֔ה כִּ֚י מִמֶּ֣נּוּ נִקַּ֔ח לַעֲבֹ֖ד אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ וַאֲנַ֣חְנוּ לֹֽא־נֵדַ֗ע מַֽה־נַּעֲבֹד֙ אֶת־יְהוָ֔ה עַד־בֹּאֵ֖נוּ שָֽׁמָּה׃
Unsere Herde aber muss mit uns gehen, es darf nicht zurückbleiben eine Klaue; denn davon werden wir nehmen zum Dienste des Herrn, unseres Gottes; wir können ja nicht wissen, womit wir dienen sollen dem Herrn, bis wir dorthin kommen.
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
There is also the expression "not a hoof will remain" which Moses spoke of in 10,26. If "hooves" would remain, obviously animals would remain also. What point then was there in mentioning פרסה, a hoof? It appears that Onkelos changed the word in his translation when he renders "not anything will remain." When the word ]רסה occurs in Leviticus 11,3 , Onkelos translates it as "hoof." Rashi, on the other hand, explains the word as meaning the same both here and in Leviticus. His exact words are: "sole of the foot." Targum Yonathan also adopts the translation "hoof."
