Moses- The primary human author of Leviticus, who received the laws from God to instruct the Israelites. 2. Israelites - The people to whom the laws in Leviticus were given, as they journeyed through the wilderness. 3. Unclean Animals - The context of Leviticus 11 involves distinguishing between clean and unclean animals, which were part of the dietary laws given to Israel. 4. Tabernacle - The central place of worship for the Israelites, where maintaining ritual purity was essential. 5. Evening - The time by which the unclean article would become clean again after being washed, marking a new day in the Hebrew calendar. Teaching Points Understanding Ritual PurityThe laws in Leviticus highlight the importance of holiness and separation from impurity. They remind us of God's holiness and the need for His people to be set apart. Symbolism of Cleansing The act of washing and waiting until evening symbolizes the process of purification and renewal. It points to the deeper spiritual cleansing that is fulfilled in Christ. Practical Holiness While the specific laws of ritual purity are not binding on Christians, the principle of living a life that honors God remains. We are called to be holy in our conduct. Community and Contamination The laws served to protect the community from physical and spiritual contamination. In the church, we are to guard against influences that can lead us away from God. Transformation through Christ The Old Testament laws foreshadow the ultimate cleansing and transformation available through Jesus. Our focus should be on heart transformation rather than mere external compliance. Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Leviticus 11What does 'unclean until evening' mean? If Leviticus 5:2 considers touching an unclean creature as sin, even unknowingly, how can ignorance be morally blameworthy? Acts 10:9-16 - Does Peter's vision about eating unclean animals contradict Leviticus 11 and God's previous dietary laws? If 'clean' and 'unclean' animals (Genesis 7:2) were not defined until later, why are they mentioned here?(32) And upon whatsoever any of them.--Better, and upon whatsoever aught of them, that is, not only if the whole carcase fell upon any of the specified vessels were the vessels in question defiled, but if a portion of the carcase came in contact with the utensils it made them unclean. (See Leviticus 11:25.) According to the law which obtained during the second Temple it was only when the portion of the carcase of an unclean animal had flesh on it that it defiled, but not otherwise. Hence the skins, hair, bones, horns, hoofs, sinews, &c. of all unclean creatures were exempted. These were made into different domestic utensils and implements. The use thus made of the parts in question also constituted one of the differences between the Pharisees and the Sadducees in the time of Christ. The Sadducees regarded every portion of every unclean animal in whatever state as defiling, and hence prohibited its being made up into any vessel. Vessel of wood.--That is, vessels made of bulrushes (Isaiah 18:2), reeds, wicker, shells of nuts, barks of trees, or of anything which grew out of the earth like wood. Or raiment.--That is, any garment made of a woven material, such as wool, flax, hemp, or anything which grows on the dry land. Hence cloth made of a material which grows in the sea was not defiled, according to the canons which obtained during the second Temple. Or skin.--This also, according to the same authorities, only applied to the skins of land animals; skins of aquatic creatures received no defilement. Or sack.--From the parallel passage in Numbers 31:20, we see that by this expression here is meant garments made of stuffs of goats' hair, in contradistinction to the textures of which the garments were made, denoted by the expression beged, "raiment." (See also Isaiah 20:2.) Skins which were not made into garments or vessels, or which exhibited unfinished vessels, received no pollution. . . .
