Leviticus 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:

saying unto them;
as follows.

Leviticus 11:1 In-Context

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them.

2 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, These [are] the beasts which ye may eat among all the beasts that [are] on the earth.

3 Whatever parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, [and] cheweth the cud among the beasts, that shall ye eat.

4 Nevertheless, these shall ye not eat, of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean to you.

5 And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean to you.
