Ibn Ezra on Leviticus 11:47/אבן עזרא על ויקרא י״א:מ״ז

אלהבדיל בין הטמא. בעוף ובשרץ המים:
1TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE UNCLEAN. Among the fowl and that which swarms in the water.
בהנאכלת. המותרת לאכילה:
2THAT MAY BE EATEN. That is permitted to be eaten.
גאשר לא תאכל. על פי התורה:
3THAT MAY NOT BE EATEN. According to the words of the Torah.136 is to be rendered, that may not be eaten. Asher lo te’ackhel can be rendered, which is inedible. Hence I.E.’s comment.
