[11:8] 1 sn The regulations against touching the carcasses of dead unclean animals (contrast the restriction against eating their flesh) is treated in more detail in Lev 11:24-28 (cf. also vv. 29-40). For the time being, this chapter continues to develop the issue of what can and cannot be eaten.
[11:27] 2 tn Heb “the one walking on four.” Compare Lev 11:20-23.
[11:35] 3 tn Heb “be unclean.”
