Levítico 11:45 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 11:45

For I am the Lord that bringeth you up out of the land of
Egypt
He had brought them out of it, and was now bringing them on in the wilderness towards Canaan's land, in order to settle them there; and this is observed, to show what obligations they lay under to him to observe his commands; for since he had done such great things for them, it became them to be obedient to him in all things: and the more, since his end herein was, as he observes to them,

to be your God;
to make it appear that he was their God, and they were his special people, whom he had chosen for himself above all people upon the earth; that he was their King and their God, to protect and defend them, to provide for them, and take care of them, and bestow all good things on them proper for them:

ye shall therefore be holy, for I [am] holy;
separate from all others as he was, living holy lives and conversations, agreeably to his will made known to them, in imitation or him who had chosen and called them to be his people; for, since holiness is his nature, it becomes them who are his house and family, his subjects and people.

Levítico 11:45 In-Context

43 Não se contaminem com qualquer desses animais. Não se tornem impuros com eles nem deixem que eles os tornem impuros.

44 Pois eu sou o SENHOR, o Deus de vocês; consagrem-se e sejam santos, porque eu sou santo. Não se tornem impuros com qualquer animal que se move rente ao chão.

45 Eu sou o SENHOR que os tirou da terra do Egito para ser o seu Deus; por isso, sejam santos, porque eu sou santo.

46 “Essa é a regulamentação acerca dos animais, das aves, de todos os seres vivos que se movem na água e de todo animal que se move rente ao chão.

47 Vocês farão separação entre o impuro e o puro, entre os animais que podem ser comidos e os que não podem”.
