Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.

Speak to the children of Israel, saying, These are the animals which you may eat among all the beasts of the earth:

Nevertheless these you shall not eat among those that bring up the cud or those that divide the hoof: the camel, because it brings up the cud but does not divide the hoof, is unclean to you;

the hare, because it brings up the cud but does not divide the hoof, is unclean to you;

Their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch. They are unclean to you.

But all in the seas or in the rivers that do not have fins and scales, all that swarm in the water or any living creature which is in the water, they are detestable to you.

Whatever in the water does not have fins or scales; it shall be detestable to you.

the kite, and the falcon after its kind;

the ostrich, the owl, the sea gull, and the hawk after its kind;

the white owl, the pelican, and the carrion vulture;

All flying creatures that swarm, going upon all fours shall be detestable to you.

These you may eat: the swarming locust after its kind, the locust after its kind, the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.

By these you shall become unclean; whoever touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until evening;

Any beast that divides the hoof, but is not cloven and split and does not bring up the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches it shall be unclean.

Whoever carries their carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening. They are unclean to you.

the gecko, the monitor lizard, the sand reptile, the sand lizard, and the chameleon.

Anything upon which any of them falls when they are dead is unclean, whether it is any item of wood or clothing or skin or sack, whatever item it is, in which work is done, it shall be put in water. And it shall be unclean until evening; then it shall be clean.

in such a vessel, any edible food upon which water falls shall be unclean, and any drink that may be drunk from it shall be unclean.

Nevertheless a spring or a cistern, in which there is a collection of water, shall be clean, but whatever touches the carcass shall be unclean.

But if water is put on the seed, and if any part of the carcass has fallen on it, it shall be unclean to you.

He who eats of its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening. He also who carries its carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening.

Whatever goes on its belly, whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet among all swarming things that swarm on the earth; these you shall not eat, for they are detestable.

For I am Jehovah your God. You shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves with any swarming thing that swarms on the earth.

This is the law of the beasts and the flying creatures and every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that swarms on the earth,

You shall not eat any abominable thing.

the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer, the wild goat, the mountain goat, the antelope, and the mountain sheep.

Nevertheless, you shall not eat of those that only bring up the cud, or only divide the cloven hoof: the camel, the hare, and the hyrax; for they bring up the cud but do not divide the hoof; they are unclean to you.

These you may eat of all that are in the waters: you may eat all that have fins and scales.

All clean birds you may eat.

the hawk, the falcon, and the kite after its kind;

the ostrich, the great owl, the seagull, and the hawk after their kinds;

the pelican, the carrion vulture, the cormorant,

Also every swarming thing that flies is unclean to you; they shall not be eaten.

You shall not eat anything that dies of itself; you may give it to the sojourner who is within your gates, that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner; for you are a holy people unto Jehovah your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.

So I said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! Behold, my soul has never been defiled from my youth till now; I have never eaten a carcass or a torn animal, nor has abominable flesh ever come into my mouth.

And a voice came to him, Arise, Peter; kill and eat.

And the voice spoke to him again the second time, What God has cleansed do not consider unclean.

So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths,

of the doctrine of immersion, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

And Aaron and his sons you shall bring to the door of the tent of meeting, and you shall wash them with water.

for Aaron and his sons to wash their hands and their feet there.

Thus they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die. And it shall be a perpetual statute to them; to him and his seed throughout their generations.

And you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tent of meeting and wash them with water.

And he who is being cleansed shall wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean. After that he shall come into the camp, and shall remain outside his tent seven days.

And on the seventh day he shall shave all the hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows; all his hair he shall shave off. He shall wash his clothes and wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.

He shall put the holy linen tunic and the linen trousers on his flesh; he shall be girded with a linen sash, and with the linen turban he shall be wrapped. These are holy garments. Therefore he shall wash his flesh in water, and put them on.

And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, put on his garments, come out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people.

And every soul who eats what died naturally or what was torn by beasts, whether he is a native or a sojourner, he shall both wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. Then he shall be clean.

But if he does not wash them nor bathe his flesh, then he shall bear his iniquity.

the soul who has touched any such thing shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat of the holy things unless he washes his flesh with water.

Then the priest shall wash his clothes, he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp; the priest shall be unclean until evening.

And a man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place; and they shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for the water of impurity; it is for purifying from sin.

He who touches a man, his soul having died, shall be unclean seven days.

Whoever touches a dead man, his soul having died, and does not purify himself, has defiled the tabernacle of Jehovah. That soul shall be cut off from Israel. He shall be unclean, because the water of impurity was not sprinkled upon him; his uncleanness is still upon him.

and every open vessel, which has no cover fastened on it, is unclean.

And for the unclean they shall take some of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification from sin, and running water shall be put on them in a vessel.

The clean person shall sprinkle the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day; and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, wash his clothes, and bathe in water; and at evening he shall be clean.

It shall be a perpetual statute for them. He who sprinkles the water of impurity shall wash his clothes; and he who touches the water of impurity shall be unclean until evening.

And all the elders of that city nearest to the slain person shall wash their hands in the stream over the heifer whose neck was broken.

But it shall be, when evening comes, that he shall wash with water; and when the sun sets, he shall come into the camp.

Then indeed, even the first covenant had ordinances of service and the earthly sanctuary.

who has come, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life.

Even so we, when we were children, were enslaved under the elements of the world.

But now, knowing God, or rather being known by God, how is it that you turn again to the feeble and worthless principles, to which you desire again to be in bondage?

having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, that He might create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace,

Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to decrees;

which all concern things which perish with the using; according to the commandments and doctrines of men?

For He has not put the world to come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels.

and have tasted the good Word of God and the powers of the age to come,

But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, brought forth out of a woman, brought forth under the Law,

that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might sum up in one all things in Christ, both which are in Heaven and which are on earth; in Him.
