3Whatsoever hath cloven hoofs, and feet split open, bringing up the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
4Only these shall ye not eat of those that bring up the cud, or of those with cloven hoofs; the camel, for it bringeth up the cud but hath not cloven hoofs, it [is] unclean to you;
5and the rock-badger, for it bringeth up the cud but hath not cloven hoofs, it [is] unclean to you:
6and the hare, for it bringeth up the cud but hath not cloven hoofs, it [is] unclean to you;
7and the swine, for it hath cloven hoofs and feet split open, but it bringeth not up the cud, it [is] unclean to you.
8Of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcasses ye shall not touch, they [are] unclean to you.
9These 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, these shall ye eat.
10But all that have not fins and scales in seas and in rivers, of all that swarm in the waters, and of every living creature that [is] in the waters, they [are] an abomination to you.
11They shall be even an abomination to you: of their flesh ye shall not eat, and their carcass ye shall have in abomination.
12Whatever in the waters hath no fins and scales, that [shall be] an abomination to you.
13And these ye shall have in abomination among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the osprey, and the sea eagle;
14and the falcon, and the kite after its kind;
15every raven after its kind;
16and the ostrich, and the night hawk, and the seagull, and the hawk after its kind;
17and the owl, and the gannet, and the ibis,
18and the swan, and the pelican, and the vulture,
19and the stork; the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
20Every winged insect (or, crawling thing) that goeth on [all] four [shall be] an abomination unto you.
21Yet these shall ye eat of every winged insect that goeth on [all] four: those that have legs above their feet with which to leap upon the earth.
22These shall ye eat of them: the arbeh after its kind, and the salam after its kind, and the chargol after its kind, and the chagab after its kind.
23But every winged insect that hath four feet [shall be] an abomination unto you.

28And he that beareth the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean to you.
29And these shall be unclean to you among the creeping (or swarming) things that creep on the earth: the mole, and the mouse, and the tortoise after its kind;
30and the gecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon.
31These shall be unclean to you among all that creep: whoever toucheth them when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even.
32And on whatever any of them when they are dead falleth, it shall be unclean; all vessels of wood, or garment, or skin, or sack, every vessel wherewith work is done, it shall be put into water, and be unclean until the even; then shall it be clean.
33And every earthen vessel, whereunto [any] of them falleth, whatever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
34All food that is eaten on which [such] water hath come shall be unclean, and all drink that is drunk shall be unclean in every [such] vessel.
35And everything whereon [aught] of their carcass falleth shall be unclean; oven or range shall be broken down: they are unclean and shall be unclean to you.
36Nevertheless a spring or a well, a collection of water, shall be clean. But he that toucheth their carcass shall be unclean.
37And if [aught] of their carcass fall on any sowing-seed that is to be sown, it is clean;
38but if water be put on the seed, and [aught] of their carcass fall thereon, it is unclean to you.
39And if any beast die that is to you for food, he that toucheth the carcass thereof shall be unclean until the even;
40and he that eateth of its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even; he also that carrieth its carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

42{i}Whatever goeth on the belly, and whatever goeth on all four, and all that have a great many feet, of every manner of crawling thing which crawleth on the earth—these ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.{/i}
43{i}Ye shall not make yourselves abominable through any crawling thing which crawleth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.{/i}
44{i}For I am Jehovah your God; and ye shall hallow yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy; and ye shall not make yourselves unclean through any manner of crawling thing which creepeth on the earth.{/i}
45{i}For I am Jehovah who brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.{/i}
46{i}This is the law of cattle, and of fowl, and of every living soul that moveth in the waters, and of every soul that crawleth on the earth;{/i}
47{i}to make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that is to be eaten and the beast that is not to be eaten.{/i}

11for the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to atone for your souls, for it is the blood that maketh atonement for the soul.
12Therefore have I said to the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall the stranger who sojourneth among you eat blood.
13And every one of the children of Israel, and of the strangers that sojourn among them, that catcheth in the hunt a beast or fowl which may be eaten, he shall pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with earth;
14for as to the life of all flesh, its blood is the life in it : and I have said to the children of Israel, Of the blood of no manner of flesh shall ye eat, for the life of all flesh is its blood: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
15And every soul that eateth that which died [of itself] or that which was torn [by beasts, whether he be] home-born or a stranger, shall both wash his clothes, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even; then he shall be clean.

5I was in [the] city of Joppa, praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending like a great sheet, let down by four corners out of heaven, and it came as far as me.
6On which having fixed mine eyes, I considered and saw the quadrupeds of the earth and the wild beasts and the reptiles and the birds of the heaven.
7And I heard also a voice saying to me, Arise, Peter, slay and eat.
8But I said, In no wise, Lord, because common or unclean never entered into my mouth.
9But a voice answered a second time out of heaven, What God cleansed make not thou common.
10And this was done thrice, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11And behold immediately three men stood at the house in which I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.

14who shall speak words unto thee, whereby thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.
15And on my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them as upon us also at the beginning.
16And I remembered the word of the Lord how he said, John baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with [the] Holy Spirit.
17If then God gave to them the same gift as also to us when we believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that could forbid God?

8But meat shall not commend us to God; neither if we eat have we the advantage, nor if we eat not do we come short.
9But see lest in any wise this your title become a stumbling-block to the weak.
10For if anyone see thee who hast knowledge sitting at table in an idol's temple, shall not his conscience, as he is weak, be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed to idols?
11And he that is weak perisheth by thy knowledge, the brother for whom Christ died?
12But thus sinning against the brethren, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
13Wherefore, if meat stumble my brother, I will in nowise eat flesh forever, that I may not stumble my brother.

Lev. 23:1‑44• 1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, concerning the feasts of Jehovah, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
3Six days shall work be done; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein; it is the Sabbath of Jehovah in all your dwellings.
4These are the feasts of Jehovah, {i}holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons{/i}:
5In the fourteenth day of the first month, at even, is Jehovah's Passover.
6{i}And on the fifteenth day of this month is the feast of unleavened bread to Jehovah; seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread.{/i}
7In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein{i}.
8But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein{i}.
9And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
10Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest.
11And he shall wave the sheaf before Jehovah, to be accepted for you; on the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.
12And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf, an he-lamb without blemish, of the first year, for a burnt offering unto Jehovah:
13and the meal-offering thereof shall be two tenth-deals of fine flour, mingled with oil; an offering made by fire unto Jehovah for a sweet savour; {i}and the drink-offering thereof, of wine, a fourth part of a hin.{/i}
14And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
15And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave-offering, seven Sabbaths shall be complete,
16even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meal-offering unto Jehovah.
17{i}Out of your dwellings shall ye bring two wave-loaves, of two tenths of fine flour; with leaven shall they be baken; as first-fruits to Jehovah.{/i}
18And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs, without blemish, of the first year; and one young bullock, and ten rams: they shall be for a burnt-offering unto Jehovah {i}with their oblation, and their drink-offerings, an offering by fire of a sweet odour to Jehovah{/i}.
19Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace-offerings.
20And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave-offering before the Lord, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to Jehovah for the priest.
21And ye shall proclaim on the self-same day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
22And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field, when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor and to the stranger: I am Jehovah your God.
23And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
24Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, in the seventh month in the first day of the month, shall ye have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.
25{i}No manner of servile work shall ye do;{/i} but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.
26And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
27Also on the tenth day of the seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.
28And ye shall do no work in that same day; for it is a day of atonement to make an atonement for you before Jehovah your God.
29For whatsoever soul it shall be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
30And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
31{i}No manner of work shall ye do: it is an everlasting statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings{/i}.
32It shall be unto you a Sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls. {i}On the ninth of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your Sabbath.{/i}
33And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
34Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto Jehovah.
35On the first day shall be an holy convocation. Ye shall do no servile work therein.
36Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord; on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you, and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah. It is a solemn assembly, and ye shall do no servile work therein.
37{i}These are the set feasts of Jehovah, which ye shall proclaim as holy convocations, to present an offering by fire to Jehovah, a burnt-offering, and an oblation, a sacrifice, and drink-offerings, everything upon its day;{/i}
38{i}besides the Sabbaths of Jehovah, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your voluntary offerings, which ye give to Jehovah.{/i}

2And thou shalt sacrifice the Passover unto Jehovah thy God, of the flock and the herd , in the place which Jehovah shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.
3Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.
4{i}And{/i} there shall be no leaven seen with thee in all thy borders seven days; neither shall any of the flesh which thou sacrificest the first day at even remain all night until the morning.
5Thou mayest not sacrifice the Passover in any of thy gates, which Jehovah thy God giveth thee:
6but at the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the Passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.
7And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose; and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.
8{i}Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a solemn assembly to Jehovah thy God; thou shalt do no work.{/i}
9Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn.
10And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto Jehovah thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto Jehovah thy God, according as Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee:
11and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God, thou, and thy son and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant{i}, and the Levite that is in thy gates{/i}, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you {i}in the place that Jehovah thy God will choose to cause his name to dwell there{/i}.
12And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
13Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine.
14{i}And{/i} thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son and thy daughter{i}, and thy bondman, and thy handmaid, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are in thy gates{/i}.
15Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto Jehovah thy God in the place which Jehovah shall choose: because Jehovah thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the increase of thine hands; therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.
16Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which he shall choose, {i}at the feast of unleavened bread, and at the feast of weeks, and at the feast of tabernacles; and they shall not appear before Jehovah empty:{/i}

 While identifying us with Christ, he speaks of the bearing of the work of Christ Himself...In verses 16-19 he applies it first (vs. 16) to subjection to ordinances, that is, to the Jewish side of their danger; and then (vs. 18) to the Gnostic philosophy, science falsely so called. (Colossians 2 by J.N. Darby)
 Since Jewish Christians have been removed from the legal obligations wherewith they were once bound through being “dead with Christ” (Rom. 6:8; 7:4), they were not to let anyone put them back under those legal ordinances. The death of Christ has ended all connections with that legal system for them. (Hindrances to Carrying Out the Truth of the Mystery: Colossians 2:4-19 by B. Anstey)
