Leviticus Chapter 11

THE TORAH

LEVITICUS

VAYIKRA

Leviticus (Vayikra in Hebrew), the third book in the Torah (First five books of Moses). Vayikra or Leviticus means “And G-d Called.”

Be enlightened in this book, that G-d is holy. Thus, requires him who comes or approaches G-d must be holy. Given this instruction, the Kohanim (Priests) are called to be intermediaries between G-d and the Children of Israel.

Offerings or sacrifices are elaborated in great lengths in the entire book of Leviticus. Now, does this aligns with how Jesus was offered? Let’s find out…

Leviticus Chapter 11 Guides One Who Truly is Serious in His Serving, Praying and Worshiping G-d — Blessed be He

It Is Not Only About Pig Or Pork Meat That Is Prohibited To Eat

A test of obedience to G-d’s commandments

Along comes a Christian who will tell you that Jesus did all. Thus, eat all you can!

*Again, who gave someone the authority to abolish what G-d Himself said and commanded through His servants the prophets?

“Laws of Kashrus (Dietary Laws)”
“Land Animals”
“Fish”
“The Forbidden Birds”
“Forbidden and Permissible Insect”
“The Non-Kosher Creature that Transmit Contamination”
“The Small Creeping Animals”
“Objects Receiving Contamination”
“Contamination of Kosher Animals”
“Prohibition of Eating Creeping Creatures”

These are the creatures that you may eat from among all the animals that are upon the earth.
11:2
Everything among the animals that has a split hoof, which is completely separated into double hooves, and that brings up its cud – that one you may eat.
11:3
But this is what you shall not eat from among those that bring up their cud or that have split hooves: the camel, for it brings up its cud, but its hoof is not split – it is unclean to you.
:4
and the hyrax, … and the hare, … and the pig, for its hoof is split and its hoof is completely separated, but it does not chew its cud – it is unclean to you.
:5-7
You shall not eat of their flesh nor shall you touch their carcass – they are unclean to you.
:8
This may you eat from everything that is in the water: everything that has fins and scales in the water, in the seas, and in the streams, those you may eat.
:9
And everything that does not have fins and scales in the seas and in the streams – all that teems in the water, and from all living creatures in the water – they are an abomination to you.
:10
And they shall remain an abomination to you: you shall not eat of their flesh and you shall abominate their carcass.
:11
Everything that does not have fins and scales in the water – it is an abomination to you.
:12
These shall you abominate from among the birds, they may not be eaten – they are an abomination: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the ospreys;
:13-19
every animal that has split hooves that are not completely split, or does not chew its cud, they are contaminated to you; whoever touches them becomes contaminated.
:26
And every one that walks on its paws, among all the animals that walk on four legs, they are contaminated to you; whoever touches their carcass shall be contaminated until the evening.
:28
Any earthenware utensil into whose interior one of them will fall, everything in it shall become contaminated – and you shall break it –
:33
Anything upon which part of their carcass may fall shall be contaminated – an oven or stove shall be smashed – they are contaminated and they shall remain contaminated to you –
:35
Everything that creeps on its belly, and everything that walks on four legs, up to those with numerous legs, among all the teeming things that teem upon the earth, you may not eat them, for they are an abomination.
:42
Do not make yourselves abominable by means of any teeming thing; …
:43
For I am Hashem your God – you are to sanctify yourselves and you shall be holy, for I am holy; …
:44
For I am Hashem Who elevates you from the land of Egypt to be a God unto you; you shall be holy, for I am holy.
:45
This is the law of the animal, the bird, every living creature that swarms in the water, and for every creature that teems on the ground;
:46
to distinguish between the contaminated and the pure, and between the creature that may be eaten and the creature that may not be eaten.
:47

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, to say to them:
2 Speak to the children of Israel, saying: These are the creatures that you may eat among all the animals on earth:
3 Any animal that has a cloven hoof that is completely split into double hooves, and which brings up its cud that one you may eat.
4 But these you shall not eat among those that bring up the cud and those that have a cloven hoof: the camel, because it brings up its cud, but does not have a [completely] cloven hoof; it is unclean for you.
5 And the hyrax, because it brings up its cud, but will not have a [completely] cloven hoof; it is unclean for you;
6 And the hare, because it brings up its cud, but does not have a [completely] cloven hoof; it is unclean for you;
7 And the pig, because it has a cloven hoof that is completely split, but will not regurgitate its cud; it is unclean for you.
8 You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.
9 Among all [creatures] that are in the water, you may eat these: Any [of the creatures] in the water that has fins and scales, those you may eat, whether [it lives] in the waters, in the seas or in the rivers.
10 But any [creatures]that do not have fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers, among all the creeping creatures in the water and among all living creatures that [live] in the water, are an abomination for you.
11 And they shall be an abomination for you. You shall not eat of their flesh, and their dead bodies you shall hold in abomination.
12 Any [creature] that does not have fins and scales in the water is an abomination for you.
13 And among birds, you shall hold these in abomination; they shall not be eaten; they are an abomination: The eagle [or the griffin vulture], the kite, the osprey,
14 the kestrel, and the vulture after its species,
15 and the raven after its species,
16 the ostrich, the jay, and the sparrow hawk, and the goshawk after its species;
17 The owl, the gull, the little owl;
18 The bat, the starling, the magpie;
19 the stork, the heron after its species; the hoopoe and the atalef [bat?];
20 Any flying insect that walks on four, is an abomination for you.
21 However, among all the flying insects that walk on four [legs], you may eat [from] those that have jointed [leg like] extensions above its [regular] legs, with which they hop on the ground.
22 From this [locust] category, you may eat the following: The red locust after its species, the yellow locust after its species, the spotted gray locust after its species and the white locust after its species.
23 But any [other] flying insect that has four legs, is an abomination for you.
24 And through these you will become unclean; anyone who touches their dead bodies will be unclean until evening;
25 And anyone who carries their carcass shall immerse his garments, and he shall be unclean until evening:
26 Any animal that has a cloven hoof that is not completely split, and which does not bring up its cud, is unclean for you. Anyone who touches them shall become unclean.
27 And among all the animals that walk on four legs, any [animal] that walks on its paws is unclean for you. Anyone who touches their carcass will be unclean until evening.
28 And one who carries their carcass shall immerse his garments, and he will be unclean until evening. They are unclean for you.
29 And this is unclean for you among creeping creatures that creep on the ground: The weasel, the mouse, and the toad after its species;
30 The hedgehog, the chameleon, the lizard, the snail, and the mole.
31 These are the ones that are unclean for you, among all creeping creatures; anyone who touches them when they are dead will be unclean until evening.
32 And if any of these dead [creatures] falls upon anything, it will become unclean, whether it is any wooden vessel, garment, hide or sack, any vessel with which work is done; it shall be immersed in water, but will remain unclean until evening, and it will become clean.
33 But any earthenware vessel, into whose interior any of them falls, whatever is inside it shall become unclean, and you shall break [the vessel] itself.
34 Of any food that is [usually] eaten, upon which water comes will become unclean, and any beverage that is [usually] drunk, which is in any vessel, shall become unclean.
35 And anything upon which any of their carcasses of these [animals] fall, will become unclean. [Thus,] an oven or stove shall be demolished; they are unclean, and, they shall be unclean for you.
36 But a spring or a cistern, a gathering of water remains clean. However, one who touches their carcass shall become unclean.
37 And if of their carcass falls upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it remains clean.
38 But if water is put upon seeds, and any of their carcass falls on them, they are unclean for you.
39 If an animal that you [normally] eat, dies, one who touches its carcass shall be unclean until evening.
40 And one who eats of its carcass shall immerse his garments, and he shall be unclean until evening. And one who carries its carcass shall immerse his garments, and he shall be unclean until evening.
41 And any creeping creature that creeps on the ground is an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
42 Any [creature] that goes on its belly, and any [creature] that walks on four [legs] to any [creature] that has many legs, among all creeping creatures that creep on the ground, you shall not eat, for they are an abomination.
43 You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping creature that creeps, and you shall not defile yourselves with them, that you should become unclean through them.
44 For I am the Lord your God, and you shall sanctify yourselves and be holy, because I am holy, and you shall not defile yourselves through any creeping creature that crawls on the ground.
45 For I am the Lord Who has brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God. Thus, you shall be holy, because I am holy.
46 This is the law regarding animals, birds, all living creatures that move in water and all creatures that creep on the ground,
47 to distinguish between the unclean and the clean, and between the animal that may be eaten and the animal that may not be eaten.

GALLERY
Bible reading in the form of Scripture in pictures can have a profound impact on those who may have never read a chapter in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Viewing pivotal verses in a visual context can deepen one’s understanding of the text and provide a unique perspective. The images may help to illustrate important themes and messages that may not have been as easily grasped through standard reading. Additionally, this method can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle with traditional reading methods or for those who are more visually inclined. The power of visual storytelling has been utilized for centuries, and when paired with the timeless words of Scripture, it has the potential to bring new life and meaning to the ancient text. Ultimately, whatever method one chooses to engage with the Bible, the most important thing is to seek a deeper understanding of God’s word, and to apply it to our lives in a meaningful way.
