Levítico 11:37 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 11:37

And if [any part] of their carcass fall upon any sowing
seed that is to be sown
That which is selected from the other seed in order to be sown, and which is laid by and laid up for that purpose; should the carcass, or any part of the carcass of a creeping thing fall upon an heap of it, into a vessel in which it was put, as a dead mouse or the like:

[yet] it shall be clean;
be fit for use and sown in the earth; because being cast into the earth, and dying and quickening there, and then springing up again in stalk and ear, it would go through various changes before it became the food of man: the Targum of Jonathan describes it, such as is sown in its dryness, or being dry; for if it was wetted it was unfit for use, as follows.

Levítico 11:37 In-Context

35 Cualquier cosa sobre la que caiga parte de estos cadáveres quedará impura, y habrá que destruir los hornos y los fogones con los que haya entrado en contacto. Los cadáveres son impuros, y así deberán considerarlos.

36 Solo las fuentes o las cisternas que recogen agua permanecerán puras; cualquier otra cosa que toque un cadáver quedará impura.

37 »Si alguno de esos cadáveres cae sobre la semilla destinada a la siembra, la semilla permanecerá pura.

38 Pero si la semilla se remoja en agua, y alguno de esos cadáveres cae sobre ella, deberán considerarla impura.

39 »Si muere algún animal de los que está permitido comer, quien toque su cadáver quedará impuro hasta el anochecer.
