Commentary on Leviticus 11:9

Theological / Devotional

Fins and scales. God would have His people make use only of those foods that are best for them. Here He differentiates between the clean and unclean creatures that inhabit the waters. Those that have both fins and scales He places on one side, and those lacking either or both, on the other. By indicating those that may be eaten, He thus eliminates all others.
