If the whole nega turns white, is tahor. Why? Isn’t white a sign of tomai? The Torah does not like fakeness. When seeing one’s faults we can avoid their friendship and one can repent. When the animals are enumerated in Parashas Shemini, the pig is prohibited by mentioning first its cut hoofs. The Kli Yakar asks that is not what causes its prohibition but its lack of rechewing? He answers that by showing its cut hoofs it reveals its fakeness and adds to its issur.
