This [is] the law of the beasts, etc.] Clean and unclean, what were to be eaten, and what not, and of the fowl; (<031102>Leviticus 11:2-8) the unclean ones, which are particularly mentioned that they might be avoided, all others excepting them being allowed, (<031113>Leviticus 11:13-19): and of every living creature that moveth in the waters; all sorts of fish in the sea, rivers, ponds, and pools, such as have fins and scales, these were to be eaten, but, if they had neither, were forbidden, (<031109>Leviticus 11:912): and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth; eight of which are mentioned particularly, which, when dead, defiled by touching; and all others are forbidden to be eaten, (<031129>Leviticus 11:29-43) together with such creeping things that fly, excepting those that had legs above their feet to leap with, (<031120>Leviticus 11:20-23). This is a recapitulation of the several laws respecting them, though not in the exact order in which they are delivered in this chapter.
