Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Whatsoever goeth upon the belly - i. e. all footless reptiles, and mollusks, snakes of all kinds, snails, slugs, and worms. "Whatsoever goeth upon all four;" i. e. "creeping things," or vermin; such as the weasel, the mouse or the lizard. Whatsoever hath more feet; i. e. all insects, except the locust family (Lev 11:22 note), myriapods, spiders, and caterpillars. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
Upon the belly - As worms and snakes, Upon all four - As toads and divers serpents. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Whatsoever goeth upon the belly - In the word גהון gahon, the vau holem, in most Hebrew Bibles, is much larger than the other letters; and a Masoretic note is added in the margin, which states that this is the middle letter of the law; and consequently this verse is the middle verse of the Pentateuch.
Whatsoever hath more feet - Than four; that is, all many-footed reptiles, as well as those which go upon the belly having no feet, such as serpents; besides the four-footed smaller animals mentioned above. |
22 Even these of them ye may eat [0398]; the locust [0697] after his kind [04327], and the bald locust [05556] after his kind [04327], and the beetle [02728] after his kind [04327], and the grasshopper [02284] after his kind [04327].
