| Leviticus 11 |
| | 11:1
And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them, |
| | 11:2
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These
are the beasts which ye
shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. |
What should we eat?
What Not to Eat
| | 11:3
Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud,
among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
| | 11:4
Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them
that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth
not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
| | 11:5
And the coney,
because he cheweth the cud , but divideth not the hoof; he is
unclean unto you. |
The bible says that hares and coneys are
unclean because they "chew the cud" but do not part the hoof. But
hares and coneys are not ruminants and they do not "chew the cud."
| | 11:6
And the hare,
because he cheweth the cud , but divideth not the hoof; he is
unclean unto you.
| | 11:7
And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he
cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. |
"The swine ... is unclean to you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not
touch."
| | 11:8
Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch;
they are unclean to you. |
| | 11:9
These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and
scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat. |
What the Bible says about shrimp
(God Hates Shrimp)
| | 11:10
And all that have not
fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the
waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an
abomination unto you: |
(11:10-12) Clams, oysters, crabs, lobsters, and shrimp are abominations.
What the Bible says about food and drink
| | 11:11
They shall be even an
abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have
their carcases in abomination. |
| | 11:12
Whatsoever hath no
fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you. |
| | 11:13
And these are they
which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls ; they shall
not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the
ospray, |
(11:13, 19) Bats are birds to the biblical God.
| | 11:14
And the vulture, and the kite after his kind; |
| | 11:15
Every raven after his kind; |
| | 11:16
And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his
kind, |
| | 11:17
And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, |
| | 11:18
And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, |
| | 11:19
And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the
bat. |
| | 11:20
All fowls that creep,
going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto
you. |
Four-legged fowls!
"All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you."
Which flying creeping things may we eat?
| 11:21
Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing
that goeth upon all four, which
have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;
| 11:22
Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald
locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper
after his kind. |
| | 11:23
But all other
flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination
unto you. |
Four-legged insects!
Be sure to watch out for those
"other flying creeping things which have four feet." (I wish God
wouldn't get so technical!) I guess he must mean four-legged insects. You'd
think that since God made the insects, and so many of them (at least several
million species), that he would know how many legs they have!
| | 11:24
And for these ye shall
be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until
the even.
| | 11:25
And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes,
and be unclean until the even.
| | 11:26
The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not
clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that
toucheth them shall be unclean. |
| | 11:27
And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on
all four, those are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be
unclean until the even. |
| | 11:28
And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be
unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you. |
| | 11:29
These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep
upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind, |
| | 11:30
And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the
mole. |
| | 11:31
These are unclean to
you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead,
shall be unclean until the even. |
Don't touch any dead creeping things.
| | 11:32
And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall
be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack,
whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into
water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed. |
| | 11:33
And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in
it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it. |
| | 11:34
Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be
unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be
unclean. |
| | 11:35
And every thing whereupon any part of their carcase falleth shall be
unclean; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down:
for they are unclean and shall be unclean unto you. |
| | 11:36
Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be
clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean. |
| | 11:37
And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be
sown, it shall be clean. |
| | 11:38
But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase fall
thereon, it shall be unclean unto you. |
| | 11:39
And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase
thereof shall be unclean until the even. |
| | 11:40
And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be
unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash
his clothes, and be unclean until the even. |
| | 11:41
And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an
abomination; it shall not be eaten. |
"Every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an
abomination."
| | 11:42
Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or
whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the
earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination. |
"Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or
whatsoever hath more feet ... are an abomination."
| | 11:43
Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that
creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should
be defiled thereby. |
(11:43-44)
"Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth."
| | 11:44
For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye
shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any
manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. |
(11:44-45)
"Ye shall be holy; for I am holy."
Is only God holy?
| | 11:45
For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be
your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy. |
| | 11:46
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: |
| | 11:47
To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the
beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten. |
