“This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:”
These are the regulations concerning animals, birds, every living thing that moves about in the water and every creature that moves along the ground. The summary of the entire clean/unclean animal regulation section: these are the regulations concerning animals, birds, water creatures, and ground-moving creatures. The four-part summary corresponds to the four sections of the chapter. The comprehensive coverage — every living thing in its category — communicates the completeness of the Levitical clean/unclean framework for the animal world.
