Israelites The recipients of the Levitical laws, including dietary regulations, as part of their covenant relationship with God. 3. Mount Sinai The location where Moses received the laws from God, including the dietary laws found in Leviticus. Teaching Points Understanding HolinessThe dietary laws were part of God's call for Israel to be holy and distinct from other nations. Holiness involves obedience and separation unto God. Symbolism of Clean and Unclean The distinction between clean and unclean animals symbolizes the separation between holy and unholy, teaching the Israelites about purity and God's standards. Obedience to God's Commands The dietary laws remind us of the importance of obedience to God's commands, even when we may not fully understand the reasons behind them. New Covenant Freedom In Christ, believers are no longer bound by the Old Testament dietary laws, as seen in Acts 10 and Mark 7. This freedom should be exercised with consideration for others' consciences. Spiritual Discernment Just as the Israelites were to discern between clean and unclean, Christians are called to discern between what is spiritually beneficial and what is not.(3) Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted.--Better, Whatsoever is clovenfooted, and entirely separateth the hoofs. The first rule laid down by which the clean quadruped is to be distinguished is that the hoofs must be completely cloven or divided above as well as below, or, as the parallel passage in Deuteronomy 14:6 has it, "and cleaveth the cleft into two claws." Such is the case in the foot of the ox, the sheep, and the goat, where the hoof is wholly divided below as much as above. The foot of the dog, the cat, and the lion, though exhibiting a division into several distinct toes or claws, is contrary to the regulation here laid down, inasmuch as the division is simply on the upper side, the lower side being united by a membrane, and hence the hoof is not "entirely separated." And cheweth the cud. --In addition to the foot being perfectly cloven, the quadruped to be clean is to be ruminating. The canon which obtained during the second Temple is thus formulated: "Every quadruped which has no upper teeth is known to be ruminant, and when it is also clovenfooted is clean." According to the law of Manu the highest Hindoo castes were also forbidden to eat the flesh or drink the milk of quadrupeds with uncloven hoof. The same was the case with the Egyptian priests: they abstained from eating the flesh of any animal which had uncloven hoofs or many claws.Verses 3, 4. - Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, should rather be translated, Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and completely divides it, The camel parts but does not wholly divide the hoof, as there is ball at the back of the foot, of the nature of a heel.Parallel Commentaries ...
