Leviticus 11:1

And the Lord spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,

Cross-reference

Leviticus 20:25 commands the same separation of clean and unclean animals — reinforcing the dietary distinction from this chapter.

Genesis 7:2 Typology

Genesis 7:2 first mentions clean/unclean animals—prefigures the formal distinction in Leviticus 11:1.

Genesis 9:3 Contrast

Genesis 9:3 grants permission to eat every animal — a stark contrast to the restricted diet here, marking a shift from universal to limited.

Acts 10:14 Contrast

In Acts 10:14, Peter cites this law to refuse unclean food, but God's vision declares all clean — a direct challenge to the Levitical distinction.

Hebrews 13:9 warns against being carried away by food laws, arguing they do not benefit — opposing the legal observance of these dietary rules.

Genesis 8:20 Historical context

In Genesis 8:20, Noah sacrifices clean animals, showing the distinction predates the Law — grounding Levitical purity in earlier revelation.
