Parallels

  • Lev.1:1 (structural): Same narrative formula introducing a block of cultic/priestly legislation: 'And the LORD called unto Moses, and spoke unto him, saying...'. Both verses mark divine instruction to Moses (and priests).
  • Lev.4:1 (verbal): Uses the identical wording 'And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying...' to introduce laws (here on sin offerings), showing the recurring divine-speech formula that frames Levitical legislation.
  • Num.15:1 (verbal): Begins with 'And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying...' to introduce communal sacrificial regulations; parallels the pattern of God addressing Moses (and Aaron) with legal material.
  • Exod.6:2 (verbal): 'And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him...' — an earlier instance of divine address to Moses that establishes the same theophanic-authoritative voice behind later legal speeches.
  • Deut.5:4 (thematic): 'The LORD talked with you face to face on the mount'—thematic parallel about direct divine revelation to Israel's leaders/people, underscoring the authoritative source of the laws introduced in Lev 11:1.

Parallels

  • Deuteronomy 14:4-8 (verbal): Repeats the dietary-list formula (“These are the animals you may eat”) and largely restates the same distinctions between clean and unclean land animals.
  • Leviticus 11:46-47 (structural): Closely connected within the same chapter; frames the legislation by declaring it a statute to distinguish between clean and unclean animals and people.
  • Genesis 9:3-4 (thematic): Provides an earlier, broader permission to eat animals after the Flood while also introducing an early prohibition concerning blood — a theme that the Levitical laws later systematize.
  • Daniel 1:8-16 (thematic): Narrates observance of Israelite dietary practice in exile (Daniel refusing the king’s food), illustrating practical application and identity-marker function of food laws rooted in Leviticus.
  • Acts 10:9-16 (allusion): Peter’s vision of clean and unclean animals directly engages the Levitical clean/unclean categories (cf. Lev. 11) and reinterprets them in the early Christian context.

Parallels

  • Deut.14.6 (quotation): Repeats the Leviticus wording almost verbatim: animals that chew the cud and have a divided hoof are declared clean and may be eaten.
  • Gen.7.2 (thematic): God's instructions to Noah distinguish 'clean' and 'unclean' animals (taking seven pairs of clean animals), presupposing the same sort of classification of animals found in Leviticus.
  • Mark 7.18-19 (allusion): Jesus' teaching that foods do not defile (with Mark's editorial note 'thus he declared all foods clean') stands in tension with Levitical dietary rules such as Lev 11:3.
  • Acts 10:11-16 (structural): Peter's vision of unclean animals and the command 'kill and eat' functions as a narrative reversal of kosher distinctions, directly engaging the Levitical prohibition exemplified in Lev 11:3.
  • Rom.14.14 (thematic): Paul's assertion that no food is unclean in itself develops a theological response to the dietary laws (including the chew-the-cud/divided-hoof criterion) found in Leviticus.

Parallels

  • Lev.11.3 (structural): Gives the defining rule for clean land animals—must both chew the cud and have a divided hoof—which provides the structural criterion that Lev 11:4 applies to the camel.
  • Lev.11.6 (thematic): The hyrax (שפן) is another case that chews the cud (or is described as doing so) but lacks a divided hoof and is declared unclean, paralleling the camel example.
  • Lev.11.7 (thematic): The pig has a divided hoof but does not chew the cud and is therefore unclean; this contrast shows that both criteria must be met, paralleling the camel’s disqualification in 11:4.
  • Deut.14.7 (verbal): Deuteronomy repeats the Levitical dietary formulation about the camel (chews the cud but does not divide the hoof) using similar language, restating the prohibition.

Parallels

  • Leviticus 11:2-3 (verbal): Immediate context giving the same injunction to distinguish clean and unclean animals — a direct verbal and legal parallel to the summary statement in 11:46.
  • Leviticus 11:44-45 (structural): Close structural parallel within the chapter: the holiness command links the dietary/animal laws to Israel’s sanctification, framing the laws summarized in 11:46.
  • Deuteronomy 14:3-21 (verbal): Repetition of the dietary regulations (clean and unclean animals) in Deuteronomy, paralleling Leviticus’ categories and prohibitions.
  • Genesis 1:20-25 (thematic): Creation account classifying birds, sea creatures, and living things that creep on the earth — thematic overlap with Leviticus’ categories of animals.
  • Acts 10:9-16 (allusion): Peter’s vision about clean and unclean animals alludes to the Levitical distinctions and functions as a theological reinterpretation of those dietary/animal categories.

And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them:

Speak to the Israelites, saying: These are the animals that you shall eat from among all the beasts that are on the earth:

Every animal that parts the hoof and splits the hoof into two, and that chews the cud, among the beasts—you may eat.

Only, these you shall not eat from among those that chew the cud or from among those that part the hoof: the camel, for it chews the cud but does not split the hoof—it is unclean for you;

and the rock hyrax, for it chews the cud but does not split the hoof—it is unclean for you;

and the hare, for it chews the cud but does not split the hoof—it is unclean for you;

and the pig, for it parts the hoof and splits the hoof, but it does not chew the cud—it is unclean for you.

Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch; they are unclean for you.

These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas and in the rivers—you may eat. But whatever does not have fins and scales in the seas and in the rivers, from all the swarming things of the waters and from every living soul that is in the waters—they are detestable to you. And they shall be detestable to you; you shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall detest their carcasses.

Everything in the waters that does not have fins and scales—it is detestable to you. And these you shall detest among the birds; they shall not be eaten—they are detestable: the eagle, the vulture, and the black vulture;

and the kite and the falcon according to its kind;

every raven according to its kind;

and the ostrich, and the nighthawk, and the sea gull, and the hawk according to its kind;

and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl;

and the white owl, and the pelican, and the carrion vulture;

and the stork, the heron according to its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

Every winged swarming creature that goes on fours—it is detestable to you.

Yet these you may eat of all the winged swarming creatures that go on fours: those that have jointed legs above their feet, with which to leap upon the earth.

These of them you may eat: the locust according to its kind, the bald locust according to its kind, the cricket according to its kind, and the grasshopper according to its kind. But every winged swarming creature that has four legs—it is detestable to you. And by these you shall become unclean; whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening. And whoever carries any of their carcasses shall wash his garments and be unclean until the evening.

Every beast that has a hoof that is parted but is not split, and does not chew the cud—they are unclean for you; whoever touches them shall be unclean. And whatever goes upon its paws among all the animals that go on fours—they are unclean for you; whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening. And whoever carries their carcass shall wash his garments and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean for you. And this is unclean for you among the swarming things that swarm on the earth: the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard according to its kind;

and the gecko, and the monitor lizard, and the lizard, and the sand lizard, and the chameleon.

These are unclean for you among all the swarming things; whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening. And anything upon which any of them falls when they are dead shall be unclean: whether an article of wood, or a garment, or leather, or sackcloth—any vessel with which work is done—it shall be put into water and shall be unclean until the evening; then it shall be clean. And any earthenware vessel into which any of them falls—whatever is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break it.

Any food that may be eaten, upon which water comes, shall be unclean; and any drink that may be drunk in any vessel shall be unclean. And anything upon which any of their carcass falls shall be unclean; an oven or a stove shall be broken down—they are unclean and shall be unclean for you.

Nevertheless, a spring or a cistern, a gathering of water, shall remain clean; but whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean. And if any of their carcass falls upon any sowing seed that is to be sown, it is clean. But if water has been put on the seed and any of their carcass falls upon it, it is unclean for you. And if any of the beasts that are yours for food dies, whoever touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening. And whoever eats of its carcass shall wash his garments and be unclean until the evening; and whoever carries its carcass shall wash his garments and be unclean until the evening. And every swarming thing that swarms on the earth is detestable; it shall not be eaten.

Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, and whatever has many feet, among all the swarming things that swarm on the earth—you shall not eat them, for they are detestable.

You shall not make yourselves detestable with any of the swarming things that swarm; and you shall not defile yourselves with them, and so become unclean through them.

For I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, for I am holy. And you shall not defile yourselves with any of the swarming thing that moves upon the earth.

For I am the LORD who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God; and you shall be holy, for I am holy.

This is the law of the beast and the bird and every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that swarms upon the earth,

to distinguish between the unclean and the clean, and between the animal that may be eaten and the animal that may not be eaten.
