The "hillside" indicates a rural, pastoral setting, common in the region of the Gerasenes, where Jesus had arrived. The Greek word for "hillside" (ὄρος, oros) often refers to a mountain or elevated area, suggesting a place that is visible and prominent. This setting is significant as it contrasts with the Jewish customs of the time, where pigs were considered unclean animals according to Levitical law (Leviticus 11:7). The presence of pigs highlights the Gentile nature of the region, as Jews would not typically raise pigs. This context underscores the universality of Jesus' ministry, reaching beyond Jewish boundaries to Gentile territories. a large herd of pigs was feeding Parallel Commentaries ...
