Lev. 11:11• 11They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination. (Lev. 11:11)
• To feed on anything which leaves Christ out, to do without His direction and preserving care, is and ought to be an abomination to our souls. So the finless and scaleless creatures that moved and were in the waters the Israelite was to shun; alive or dead, they must be had in abomination by him. If they were destitute of the normal guidance and protection, which that twofold provision represents, he was not only not to eat but to hold them as a horror. But all that had divine direction and protection, he could freely use and appropriate fearlessly. (“Priesthood 15. Law of Creatures in the Waters: Leviticus 11:9-12” by W. Kelly)
