SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:15
Y cualquiera persona que comiere cosa mortecina o despedazada por fiera , así de los naturales como de los extranjeros, lavará sus vestidos, y a sí mismo se lavará con agua, y será inmundo hasta la tarde; y se limpiará.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 17:15
Verse 15. That which died of itself, or that which was torn] Because, in both cases, the blood was retained in the body; hence the council at Jerusalem forbade things strangled as well as blood, because in such beasts the blood was coagulated in the veins and arteries. See Acts xv. 28-29. Every thing considered, surely there is as little propriety in eating of blood as there is necessity to do it. They who will do otherwise must bear their iniquity. If blood eating be no offense, then they have no sin to answer for.
The principal subjects of this chapter have been already so amply handled in the notes, that there is no need to add any thing by way of reflection or improvement.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. And every soul that eateth that which died [of itself] , etc.] Through any disease upon it, or by means of any other creature seizing upon it and worrying it, or was not lawfully killed; if a man ate ever so little of it, even but the quantity of an olive, it was a breach of this law; which is connected with the preceding, there being a similarity between them, because such creatures must have their blood in them, not being regularly let out, and so eating of them would offend against the above law. It is very probable, as Grotius thinks, that Pythagoras took his notion from hence, and strictly enjoined his followers to abstain from all animals that died of themselves, as Laertius and Aelianus relate, and which Porphyry suggests, was what universally obtained among men: or that which was torn [with beasts] ; though not dead, yet ready to die, and so unfit for food; (see Gill on “ Exodus 22:31”); [whether it be] one of your own country, or a stranger ; a native of Israel, or a proselyte of righteousness; for as for any other stranger he might eat of it, ( Deuteronomy 14:22); he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water ; in forty seahs of water, as the Targum of Jonathan, dip himself all over: and be unclean until the even ; and so have no conversation with men in civil or religious things: then shall he be clean ; when he has washed his garments, and bathed himself, and the evening is come, and then shall be admitted to society as before: this is to be understood of one who ignorantly eats of the above things, not knowing them to be such; otherwise, if he did it presumptuously, he was to be punished.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-16 - Here is a confirmation of the law against eating blood. They must ea no blood. But this law was ceremonial, and is now no longer in force the coming of the substance does away the shadow. The blood of beast is no longer the ransom, but Christ's blood only; therefore there is not now the reason for abstaining there then was. The blood is no allowed for the nourishment of our bodies; it is no longer appointed to make an atonement for the soul. Now the blood of Christ makes atonemen really and effectually; to that, therefore, we must have regard, an not consider it as a common thing, or treat it with indifference __________________________________________________________________
