What Does the Bible Teach About Rabbits?

And Jesus taught the crowds, "What do you think? If any man has a hundred rabbits, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the meadow and go and search for the one that is straying? If it turns out that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray."

Then some rabbits were brought to him so that he may lay his hands on them and pray, and the disciples rebuked them, for rabbits were unclean. But Jesus said, "Suffer the little rabbits to come unto me and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as thse."

Your use of eisegesis is commendable. If only we could all be so enlightened.
