Levítico 11:46 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 11:46

This [is] the law of the beasts
Clean and unclean, what were to be eaten, and what not,

and of the fowl;
( Leviticus 11:2-8 ) the unclean ones, which are particularly mentioned that they might be avoided, all others excepting them being allowed, ( Leviticus 11:13-19 ) :

and of every living creature that moveth in the waters;
all sorts of fish in the sea, rivers, ponds, and pools, such as have fins and scales, these were to be eaten, but, if they had neither, were forbidden, ( Leviticus 11:9-12 ) :

and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth;
eight of which are mentioned particularly, which, when dead, defiled by touching; and all others are forbidden to be eaten, ( Leviticus 11:29-43 ) together with such creeping things that fly, excepting those that had legs above their feet to leap with, ( Leviticus 11:20-23 ) . This is a recapitulation of the several laws respecting them, though not in the exact order in which they are delivered in this chapter.

44 "Porque yo soy el SEÑOR vuestro Dios. Por tanto, consagraos y sed santos, porque yo soy santo. No os contaminéis, pues, con ningún animal que se arrastra sobre la tierra.

45 "Porque yo soy el SEÑOR, que os he hecho subir de la tierra de Egipto para ser vuestro Dios; seréis, pues, santos porque yo soy santo."

46 Esta es la ley acerca de los animales, de las aves, de todo ser viviente que se mueve en las aguas y de todo animal que se arrastra sobre la tierra,

47 para hacer distinción entre lo inmundo y lo limpio, entre el animal que se puede comer y el animal que no se puede comer.
