G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 11:1-47

We now reach the section dealing with the laws of separation. The first movement records the laws concerning health. It is impossible to enter here into any detailed dealing with the particular laws concerning sustenance. It may at least be affirmed that these requirements were based on the soundest laws of health. God, who perfectly understands the physical structure of man, knows what is good and what is harmful. There can be very little doubt that a careful examination of these provisions... read more

And every thing on which any part of their carcase falls shall be unclean; whether oven, or range for pots, it shall be broken in pieces: they are unclean, and shall be unclean to you.” Anything to be eaten or drunk which has been... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 11:24-42

Leviticus 11:24-Luke : . Second Prohibition.— The dead bodies of unclean animals are not to be touched; scrupulous dread could hardly go further. The distinction is repeated from Leviticus 11:1-Isaiah :, but a special list of unclean insects is given, corresponding to the list of clean insects in Leviticus 11:22. If the dead body, or any part of one, is carried or touched, the clothes must be washed, and the person remains unclean himself for the rest of the day. Utensils which touch the dead... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 11:34

That on which such water cometh: the meaning is, that flesh or herbs, or other food which is dressed in water, to wit, in a vessel so polluted, shall be unclean; not so, if it be food which is eaten dry, as bread, fruits, &c., the reason of which difference seems to be this, that the water did sooner receive the pollution in itself, and convey it to the food so dressed. read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Leviticus 11:1-47

Shall we turn in our Bibles to Leviticus eleven?Before we begin in the eleventh chapter of Leviticus, let's take a look at the first few verses of chapter twenty-eight of Deuteronomy, because sometimes we're prone to get bogged down in the law, and we think, "Oh my, I wish we could just pass over this." Is this really necessary? Aren't we under the grace of God and living in the age of grace? But in reality it is important that God is, that we realize that God is laying down for us certain... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 11:1-47

Leviticus 11:2. The beasts which ye shall eat. The Talmud calls this chapter the Thirteenth class of Prohibitions. From the beginning of the world there was a distinction between clean and unclean beasts, as was intimated to Noah, when he received into the ark seven of the clean for one of the unclean. The reasons for this distinction are in the first place such as regard health. Cattle which feed on grass and chew the cud, are allowed to be the most salubrious for food. Dr. Buchan says... read more
