Vayikra 11:1 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 11:1

And the Lord spake unto Moses, and unto Aaron
The one being the chief magistrate, and the other the high priest, and both concerned to see the following laws put into execution; according to Jarchi, the Lord spoke to Moses that he might speak to Aaron; but being now in office, and one part of his office being to distinguish between clean and unclean, the following discourse is directed equally to him as to Moses:

as follows.

Vayikra 11:1 In-Context

1 1 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe and to Aharon, saying unto them,

2 Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on ha’aretz.

3 Whatsoever spliteth the hoof, and separateth into double hooves, and cheweth the cud, among the behemah (animals), that shall ye eat.

4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that separateth the hoof; as the gamal (camel), because he cheweth the cud, but separateth not the hoof; he is tamei unto you.

5 And the hyrax, because he cheweth the cud, but separateth not the hoof; he is tamei unto you.
