Levítico 11:38 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 11:38

But if [any] water be put upon the seed
Either accidentally or on purpose; whether on sowing seed, and with water with which they water the field, as Aben Ezra interprets it; or on seed used for food, by steeping it in water, as sometimes wheat is, and boiled; and whether it is water or the rest of the liquors, and whether they are put on the seed, or the seed falls into them, it matters not, as Jarchi says:

and [any part] of their carcass fall thereon;
that is, on the seed, though Aben Ezra observes, some say upon the water: the Targum of Jonathan adds, in its moisture, or while it is wet; and so may be thought to be more susceptible of impurity from the touch of a dead reptile, or any part of it, and which would render it unfit for sowing or eating, until it was dried and cleansed; yea, Jarchi says, if it falls thereon, even after it is dried:

it [shall be] unclean unto you;
unfit for use.

Levítico 11:38 In-Context

36 »Sin embargo, si el cadáver de uno de estos animales cae en un manantial o en una cisterna, el agua permanecerá pura pero cualquiera que toque el cadáver quedará contaminado.

37 Si el cadáver cae sobre la semilla que será sembrada en el campo, aun así, la semilla será considerada pura;

38 pero si la semilla está húmeda cuando el cadáver cae sobre ella, la semilla quedará contaminada.

39 »Si un animal que te está permitido comer muere, y alguien toca el cadáver, esa persona quedará contaminada hasta el anochecer.

40 Si come de su carne o se lleva el cadáver, deberá lavar su ropa y permanecerá contaminada hasta el anochecer.
