Leviticus 11: God’s lessons in ‘abomination’ of ‘clean’ and ‘unclean’

Uncleanness is not a sin in and of itself. It’s a temporary state, not a permanent state. God shows here how to go from unclean to clean, not only of ourselves but of household items, clothing, etc. God is showing us how clean He is and how we are to become like him. This isn’t about “dos and don’ts” but because He wants us to be holy and to be His people.

An abomination is a detestable thing. There are certain animals that are to be detestable to us to eat. These “detestable” animals serve a purpose, a purpose given to them by God but there are not food.
