For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Porque yo soy el SEÑOR su Dios. Por tanto, santifíquense y sean santos, porque yo soy santo. No se contaminen tocando ningún tipo de criatura que se arrastra por el suelo.
Dios llama a su pueblo a ser santo como él es santo, evitando la contaminación ritual.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Leviticus, God was providing the Israelites with specific laws on cleanliness and holiness as they traveled through the wilderness after their deliverance from slavery in Egypt. These dietary rules, including prohibitions against certain creeping creatures, were designed to teach the people about spiritual purity and to distinguish them as a holy nation set apart from surrounding pagan cultures. This command underscores God's own perfect holiness and His expectation that His chosen people would reflect that in their everyday practices.
