Musar su Levitico 11:47
לְהַבְדִּ֕יל בֵּ֥ין הַטָּמֵ֖א וּבֵ֣ין הַטָּהֹ֑ר וּבֵ֤ין הַֽחַיָּה֙ הַֽנֶּאֱכֶ֔לֶת וּבֵין֙ הַֽחַיָּ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֖ר לֹ֥א תֵאָכֵֽל׃ (פ)

Shenei Luchot HaBerit
At the conclusion of this whole chapter the Torah writes: להבדיל בין הטמא ובן הטהור, "In order to make a distinction between what is impure and what is pure," etc. When we recite the benediction of הבדלה, at the conclusion of the Sabbath, the formula is: המבדיל בין קדש לכל, בין ישראל לעמים, "Who separates between the sacred and the profane, between the people of Israel and the other nations." This means that there is a vital difference between (even) ordinary Israelites, non-priests, and members of the Gentile nations.
