43 ‎[1] YE SHALL NOT MAKE YOURSELVES DETESTABLE. By being filthy and dirty.
‎[2] NEITHER SHALL YE MAKE YOURSELVES UNCLEAN. For it is known that that which is eaten turns into the flesh of the one who ingests it.
‎[3] THAT YE SHOULD BE DEFILED THEREBY. The word *ve-nitmetem* (that ye should be defiled) is missing an *alef*. Compare, *reshit* (beginning) in *from the beginning of the year* (Deut. 11:12). Others say that they come from two roots. The word *nitminu* (unclean) in *And reputed unclean in your sight* (Job 18:3) is proof. It means that you do not become dumb-witted.
