Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(43) Ye shall not make your selves abominable.--By eating the unclean creatures which are constantly characterised in this book as "abominable" (see Leviticus 7:21; Leviticus 11:10-13; Leviticus 11:20; Leviticus 11:23; Leviticus 11:41-42)--a term which only occurs twice more in the Hebrew Scriptures (Isaiah 66:17; Ezekiel 8:10)--those who do so render themselves abominable and repulsive; hence the admonition. The phrase only occurs once more, viz., Leviticus 20:25, where it is translated in the Authorised Version, "Ye shall not make your souls abominable." This is the reason why "soul" is put here in the margin on the word "selves." . . .
