Leviticus 11: Clean/Unclean

At least one lesson can come from this reading: God does not always have to say “why” a thing is so—He merely has to say it. Whether we can determine why some animals were clean and others were unclean does not matter. The fact that God clearly said which is and which is not,  is enough. This lesson should be applied wherever we read such terms—clean/unclean, holy/unholy, righteous/unrighteous are a few samples.
