Levítico 11:41-45

Resumen sobre los reptiles y la santidad

41 »No comerán ustedes ninguno de los animales que se arrastran, porque son inmundos.
42 No comerán ningún animal que se arrastre sobre su vientre, o que se apoye sobre sus plantas, o que tenga más de cuatro patas. En resumen, no comerán ustedes ningún animal que se arrastra, porque es inmundo;
43 es decir, no se contaminen por causa de su inmundicia, pues son animales inmundos.
44 Yo soy el SEÑOR su Dios, así que santifíquense y manténganse santos, porque yo soy santo. No se hagan impuros por causa de los animales que se arrastran.
45 Yo soy el SEÑOR, que los sacó de la tierra de Egipto, para ser su Dios. Sean, pues, santos, porque yo soy santo.

Levítico 11:41-45 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO LEVITICUS 11

This chapter treats of creatures clean and unclean, as fit or not fit to be eaten; and first of beasts, whose signs are given, Le 11:1-8 then of fishes, which are likewise described, Le 11:9-12 after that of fowls, and those that are not to be eaten are particularly named, Le 11:13-19 next of creeping things, which are distinguished into two sorts, as flying creeping things, of which those that are unclean, their carcasses are not even to be touched, as neither the carcasses of unclean beasts, Le 11:20-28 and creeping things on the earth, which defile by touching, as well as eating, and make everything unclean, upon which, being dead, they fall, Le 11:29-43 and these laws are enforced from the holiness and goodness of God, Le 11:44,45 and the chapter is concluded with a recapitulation of them, Le 11:46,47.
