Context — Clean and Unclean Animals
32When one of them dies and falls on something, that article becomes unclean; any article of wood, clothing, leather, sackcloth, or any implement used for work must be rinsed with water and will remain unclean until evening; then it will be clean.
33If any of them falls into a clay pot, everything in it will be unclean; you must break the pot.
34Any food coming into contact with water from that pot will be unclean, and any drink in such a container will be unclean.
35Anything upon which one of their carcasses falls will be unclean. If it is an oven or cooking pot, it must be smashed; it is unclean and will remain unclean for you. 36Nevertheless, a spring or cistern containing water will remain clean, but one who touches a carcass in it will be unclean.Cross References

Leviticus 11:34 Summary
[Leviticus 11:34 teaches us that if food or drink comes into contact with water from a contaminated pot, it will become unclean. This verse reminds us of the importance of holiness and separation from sin, as seen in 2 Corinthians 6:17-18. We are called to live lives that are pleasing to God, and to separate ourselves from things that are tainted by sin. By coming to God with confidence and being cleansed from our uncleanness through the blood of Jesus Christ, as seen in Hebrews 10:22, we can live lives that are holy and pleasing to Him.]
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the water from the pot make food and drink unclean?
According to Leviticus 11:34, any food or drink that comes into contact with water from a pot that has been contaminated by an unclean animal will become unclean. This is because the water has been tainted by the unclean animal, as seen in Leviticus 11:32-33, where it is stated that any article that comes into contact with an unclean animal must be rinsed with water and will remain unclean until evening.
What happens if I accidentally drink from a container that has been contaminated?
If you accidentally drink from a container that has been contaminated, you will become unclean, as stated in Leviticus 11:34. However, as seen in other parts of the Bible, such as Hebrews 10:22, we can come to God with confidence and be cleansed from our uncleanness through the blood of Jesus Christ.
How does this verse relate to our lives today?
While we may not be under the same ceremonial laws as the Israelites, Leviticus 11:34 reminds us of the importance of holiness and separation from sin, as seen in 2 Corinthians 6:17-18. We are called to be separate from the world and to live lives that are pleasing to God.
What is the significance of the pot being broken in Leviticus 11:33?
The pot being broken in Leviticus 11:33 signifies that some things are so tainted by sin that they cannot be cleansed, but must be completely destroyed, as seen in Matthew 5:29-30, where Jesus teaches that it is better to lose a part of our body than to sin and be thrown into hell.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I may be unintentionally coming into contact with 'unclean' things, and how can I separate myself from them?
- How can I apply the principle of holiness and separation from sin in my daily life, as seen in Leviticus 11:34?
- What are some 'pots' in my life that may need to be 'broken' or completely destroyed because they are tainted by sin?
- How can I come to God with confidence and be cleansed from my uncleanness, as seen in Hebrews 10:22?
- What are some ways that I can live a life that is pleasing to God, as seen in 2 Corinthians 6:17-18?
Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 11:34
Of all meat which may be eaten,.... Which otherwise is lawful to eat and fit for food, whether herbs, or whether the flesh of clean creatures: [that] on which [such] water cometh shall be unclean;
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 11:34
And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Leviticus 11:34
That on which such water cometh: the meaning is, that flesh or herbs, or other food which is dressed in water, to wit, in a vessel so polluted, shall be unclean; not so, if it be food which is eaten dry, as bread, fruits, &c., the reason of which difference seems to be this, that the water did sooner receive the pollution in itself, and convey it to the food so dressed.
Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 11:34
Leviticus 11:34 Of all meat which may be eaten, [that] on which [such] water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every [such] vessel shall be unclean.Ver. 34. Such water.] Coming out of such an unclean place, or vessel.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 11:34
(34) That on which such water cometh.—Better, upon which water cometh, that is, all food which is prepared with water for eating becomes defiled when the carcase of such an unclean reptile falls on it. The same is the case with any beverage which is drank from any kind of vessel; if the said carcase falls into it, it is rendered unclean. According, however, to the canons which obtained during the second Temple, the import of the first part of this verse is that things which constitute man’s meat, only then become defiled by the carcase in question when any water whatsoever has been poured upon them, though these articles of food have afterwards become dry; but when they have not been moistened they do not become defiled. By water these authorities understand any of the following seven liquids :—water, dew, oil, wine, milk, blood, and honey.
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 11:34
34. Any food mixed with or put in water (for cooking or eating) and any drink into or upon which one of these swarming things has fallen is unclean.
