LEVITICUS CHAPTER 11
From the laws concerning the priests, he now comes to those which belong to all the people.
Beasts clean and unclean, Lev_11:1-8. Of fishes, Lev_11:9-12. Of fowls and creeping things, Lev_11:13-23. In touching of a dead carcass, Lev_11:24-28. Other creatures unclean, Lev_11:29-43. They are exhorted to purity and holiness from the nature of God, and his goodness to them in taking them to be his people, Lev_11:44,45. The whole repeated, Lev_11:46,47.
The Lord spake to both Moses and Aaron, because the cognizance of the following matters belonged to both; the priest was to direct the people about the things forbidden or allowed where any doubt or difficulty arose, and the magistrate was to see the direction here given followed.
