11.1 Locutus est Dominus. ISICH. Quidquid a Deo factum ipsa institutionis auctoritate mundum est. In animalibus igitur mores pinguntur hominum, et actus, et voluntates, ex quibus fiunt mundi vel immundi. ID. Dixit Dominus ad Nœ: Omne quod movetur et vivit, erit vobis in cibum Gen. 9., etc. In Genesi quoque dictum est: Vidit Deus cuncta quæ fecerat, et erant valde bona Gen. 1.. Hic autem quædam prohibentur, velut mala, et immunda decernuntur. Non sunt tamen ista contraria sibi: nam et Judæorum gastrimargiam ad modicum Dominus reprimit, et spiritualis præceptorum expositio quales debeant esse instruit. Lex enim nutrimentum est animæ rationalis rationabiliter intellecta. Sicut autem in superioribus per oblationes figuravit offerentes, sic nunc per ea quæ comeduntur exprimit comedentes.

BRN And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
BrLXX Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρὼν, λέγων,
(Kai elalaʸse Kurios pros Mōusaʸn kai Aʼarōn, legōn, )
11:1–15:33 These chapters detail the regulations pertaining to purity. The mixing of types of animals was forbidden (see Deut 22:9-11) because it represented a violation of the normal created order. “Abnormal” creatures—such as fish without fins and scales, carnivores, crawling insects, and animals without split hooves—cross boundaries between “normal” types and were unfit for food or offerings (see also Deut 14:1-21). The dietary laws were meant to distinguish Israel as a holy people from the surrounding nations (Lev 11:44-45).
Clean, Unclean, and Holy
The rites and regulations establishing cleanness and uncleanness were to distinguish Israel from the surrounding nations. To understand a rationale behind these regulations, one suggestion has been that unclean things are associated with death or the ground (see, e.g., Lev 21:1, 11; 22:8). Recent studies, however, suggest the principle of “normalcy.” God is a God of order. Things that are normal in God’s order are called “clean” and are “permitted.” Abnormal things would be unfit for food or offerings and would be “unclean.” A normal land animal would be a vegetarian (see Gen 1:30). A normal human body would have no infections or discharges. A normal piece of cloth would have no mildew on it. If abnormalities occurred, the animal, person, or cloth was unclean.
What is unclean is not sinful but represents a kind of unworthiness that cannot come in contact with what is holy (e.g., Lev 11:44-45). If it is cleansed, it acquires the potential for holiness; it may be dedicated to God and become holy. If what is holy (such as the Sabbath) is treated like something common, God is blasphemed and the thing is profaned. If what is clean becomes unclean, it is defiled and requires cleansing. Some things, such as unclean animals, fish, or birds, remain unclean by definition and can never be cleansed, and, thus, can never become holy.
In the new covenant, things that were previously unclean have been declared clean (Acts 10:15, 28, 45). Yet God is still a God of order (1 Cor 14:33) and wants worship to be conducted in an orderly way (1 Cor 14:40). While God’s grace is abundant to repentant sinners, some things are still repulsive to his holiness and should never be brought into his presence (e.g., Ananias and Sapphira’s offering; see Acts 5:1-11).
