Leviticus 11:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Leviticus 11:8

6 the hare, because it chews the cud but does not have cloven hooves, is unclean to you;

7 and the swine, though it divides the hoof, having cloven hooves, yet does not chew the cud, ^ais unclean to you.

8 Their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch. ^aThey are unclean to you.

9 ^a‘These you may eat of all that are in the water: whatever in the water has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers—that you may eat.

10 But all in the seas or in the rivers that do not have fins and scales, all that move in the water or any living thing which is in the water, they are¹ an ^aabomination to you.
