Levítico 11:34 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 11:34

Of all meat which may be eaten
Which otherwise is lawful to eat and fit for food, whether herbs, or whether the flesh of clean creatures:

[that] on which [such] water cometh shall be unclean;
that is, such water as is put into an unclean vessel, become so by the fall of any unclean reptile into it; wherefore such water poured out upon any sort of food, clean and fit to eat, or that is put into such water, to be dressed, it becomes unclean and unfit to eat; for the vessel, being unclean, defiles the water, and the water defiles the food: Jarchi interprets this of water in general, which coming upon anything eatable, prepares it for uncleanness;

``we learn (says he) that no food is fit and prepared to receive defilement until water comes upon it once; and after it is come upon it once, it receives defilement for ever, even though it becomes dry;''

but the former seems to be the true sense:

and all drink that may be drank in every such vessel shall be
unclean;
whatever otherwise might be lawfully drank, yet being put into such a vessel, into which any unclean reptile was fallen, or being in it when it fell into it, became unclean and not fit to be drank; and those liquors which receive uncleanness, and make meats unclean by coming on them, according to the Misnic doctors ^F23, are these seven, dew, water, wine, oil, blood, milk, and honey.

Levítico 11:34 In-Context

32 E tudo sobre o que um deles cair depois de morto, qualquer que seja o seu uso, ficará impuro—não importa se o objeto for feito de madeira, de pano, de couro ou de pano de saco. Deverá ser posto em água e estará impuro até a tarde; então ficará puro.

33 Se um deles cair dentro de uma vasilha de barro, tudo o que nela houver ficará impuro, e vocês quebrarão a vasilha.

34 Qualquer alimento sobre o qual cair essa água ficará impuro, e qualquer bebida que estiver dentro da vasilha ficará impura.

35 Tudo aquilo sobre o que o cadáver de um desses animais cair ficará impuro; se for um forno ou um fogão de barro vocês o quebrarão. Estão impuros, e vocês os considerarão como tais.

36 Mas, se cair numa fonte ou numa cisterna onde se recolhe água, ela permanece pura; mas quem tocar no cadáver ficará impuro.
