The creeping things which are unclean Any food coming into contact with water from that pot will be unclean This phrase emphasizes the concept of ritual purity central to Levitical law. In ancient Israel, maintaining purity was crucial for worship and community life. The pot, likely made of clay, would absorb impurities, making anything it touched unclean. This reflects the broader biblical theme of holiness and separation from sin, as seen in passages like Isaiah 52:11, which calls for the people to be clean. The idea of contamination through contact is a metaphor for sin's pervasive nature, which is echoed in the New Testament, where Jesus speaks of the need for inner purity (Matthew 15:11). and any drink in such a container will be unclean Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points Understanding HolinessThe laws in Leviticus, including dietary restrictions, were given to teach the Israelites about God's holiness and their need to be set apart. Symbolism of Purity The distinction between clean and unclean foods symbolizes the broader spiritual truth of purity and impurity in one's relationship with God. Practical Obedience While the specific dietary laws are not binding on Christians today, the principle of living a life that honors God remains relevant. Spiritual Discernment Believers are called to discern what is spiritually clean and unclean, focusing on the purity of heart and mind. Community and Worship The laws served to maintain the purity of the community and the sanctity of worship, reminding us of the importance of communal holiness.(34) That on which such water cometh.--Better, upon which water cometh, that is, all food which is prepared with water for eating becomes defiled when the carcase of such an unclean reptile falls on it. The same is the case with any beverage which is drank from any kind of vessel; if the said carcase falls into it, it is rendered unclean. According, however, to the canons which obtained during the second Temple, the import of the first part of this verse is that things which constitute man's meat, only then become defiled by the carcase in question when any water whatsoever has been poured upon them, though these articles of food have afterwards become dry; but when they have not been moistened they do not become defiled. By water these authorities understand any of the following seven liquids :--water, dew, oil, wine, milk, blood, and honey.
