In ancient Israel, maintaining purity was crucial for worship and community life. The pot, likely made of clay, would absorb impurities, making anything it touched unclean. This reflects the broader biblical theme of holiness and separation from sin, as seen in passages like <a href="/isaiah/52-11.htm">Isaiah 52:11</a>, which calls for the people to be clean. The idea of contamination through contact is a metaphor for sin's pervasive nature, which is echoed in the New Testament, where Jesus speaks of the need for inner purity (<a href="/matthew/15-11.htm">Matthew 15:11</a>).<p><b>and any drink in such a container will be unclean</b><br>The focus here is on the transmission of impurity through liquids, which were common in daily life. This law would have practical implications for the Israelites, ensuring that they remained ceremonially clean. The concept of uncleanness extends beyond physical contamination to spiritual and moral dimensions, as seen in <a href="/2_corinthians/7.htm">2 Corinthians 7:1</a>, which urges believers to cleanse themselves from defilement. This also prefigures the cleansing power of Christ's sacrifice, which purifies believers from sin, as described in <a href="/hebrews/9-14.htm">Hebrews 9:14</a>.

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.<p><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/leviticus/11-34.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Any</span><br /><span class="heb">מִכָּל־</span> <span class="translit">(mik·kāl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-m | Noun -
