CONTENTS

The sacred historian in this Chapter, enters upon the subject of clean and unclean beasts, and shows what may be eaten and what may not. As the Israelites were to be separated and distinguished from all nations of the earth; the LORD was pleased to mark them also respecting their diet, in the flesh of beasts, of fishes, of birds, and of creeping things.

Leviticus 11:1

At the very entrance on the perusal of this chapter, I would beg the Reader to attend to what the apostle saith on the general subject of Jewish meats, by way of pointing out the blessed privileges to which we are brought by the gospel, Hebrews 9:9. And connect with this what the same apostle saith elsewhere, Romans 14:17; 1 Timothy 4:4; Colossians 2:16; 1 Corinthians 10:31.
