Clean and Unclean Animals
(Leviticus 11:1–47; Acts 10:9–16)
You are sons of the LORD your God; do not cut yourselves or shave your foreheads on behalf of the dead, Gal 3:26Lev 21:5Rom 9:8Rom 9:26Heb 2:10Hos 1:10Jer 16:6Jer 41:5 for you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD has chosen you to be a people for His prized possession out of all the peoples on the face of the earth. Deu 7:6Lev 20:26Deu 26:18-19Exo 19:5-61Pe 2:9Lev 19:2Tit 2:14Deu 28:9
You must not eat any detestable thing. Ezk 4:14Lev 11:43Lev 20:25Rom 14:141Co 10:28Act 10:12-14Isa 65:4Tit 1:15 These are the animals that you may eat: 1 1Ki 4:23Act 10:14Lev 11:2-45
The ox, the sheep, the goat,
the deer, the gazelle, the roe deer,
the wild goat, the ibex, the antelope,
and the mountain sheep.
You may eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and that chews the cud. 2Co 6:17Pro 18:1Psa 1:1-2
But of those that chew the cud or have a completely divided hoof, you are not to eat the following: 2Pe 2:18-222Ti 3:5Lev 11:5Mat 7:22-23Mat 7:26Tit 1:16
the camel,
the rabbit,
or the rock badger. 2
Although they chew the cud, they do not have a divided hoof. They are unclean for you, as well as the pig; though it has a divided hoof, it does not chew the cud. It is unclean for you. You must not eat its meat or touch its carcass. Lev 11:26-272Pe 2:22Isa 65:4Isa 66:17Isa 66:3Luk 15:15-16
Of all the creatures that live in the water, you may eat anything with fins and scales, Lev 11:9-12 but you may not eat anything that does not have fins and scales; it is unclean for you.
You may eat any clean bird, but these you may not eat: Lev 11:13-19
the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture,
the red kite, the falcon, any kind of kite,
any kind of raven,
the ostrich, 3 the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk, Job 30:29
the little owl, the great owl, the white owl,
the desert owl, the osprey, the cormorant,
the stork, any kind of heron,
the hoopoe, or the bat.
All flying insects are unclean for you; they may not be eaten. Lev 11:20-23Php 3:19 But you may eat any clean bird.
You are not to eat any carcass; you may give it to the foreigner residing within your gates, and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a holy people belonging to the LORD your God. Exo 23:19Exo 34:26Lev 22:8Deu 14:2Rom 12:2Act 15:20Dan 12:7Lev 17:15
You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.
Giving Tithes
(Leviticus 27:30–34; Deuteronomy 26:1–15; Nehemiah 13:10–14)
You must be sure to set aside a tenth of all the produce brought forth each year from your fields. Deu 12:17Deu 12:6Deu 26:12-15Neh 10:37Num 18:21Lev 27:30-33 And you are to eat a tenth of your grain, new wine, and oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks, in the presence of the LORD your God at the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name, so that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always. Deu 12:5-7Deu 12:17-18Deu 15:19-20Deu 4:10
But if the distance is too great for you to carry that with which the LORD your God has blessed you, because the place where the LORD your God will choose to put His Name is too far away, Deu 12:21Deu 12:5Deu 11:24Exo 23:31 then exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place the LORD your God will choose. Then you may spend the money on anything you desire: cattle, sheep, wine, strong drink, or anything you wish. You are to feast there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice with your household. Ecc 9:71Co 6:12-13Deu 12:20-21Deu 12:7Deu 26:11Mat 21:12Psa 106:141Co 10:6 And do not neglect the Levite within your gates, since he has no portion or inheritance among you. Deu 14:29Num 18:20Deu 12:121Ti 5:17Deu 12:18-19Deu 18:1-2Gal 6:6
At the end of every three years, bring a tenth of all your produce for that year and lay it up within your gates. Deu 14:22Amo 4:4Deu 26:12-15 Then the Levite (because he has no portion or inheritance among you), the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow within your gates may come and eat and be satisfied. And the LORD your God will bless you in all the work of your hands. Deu 15:10Deu 14:27Mal 3:10-11Pro 19:17Deu 12:12Deu 16:11Deu 24:19-21Deu 26:12-13
