 4Nevertheless 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.
 5And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
 6And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

 10And 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:

 12Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
 13And 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,
 14And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
 15Every raven after his kind;
 16And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
 17And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
 18And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
 19And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
 20All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.
 21Yet 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;
 22Even 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.
 23But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.
 24And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.
 25And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

 33And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
 34Of 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.
 35And 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.
 36Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.
 37And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean.
 38But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
 39And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
 40And 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.

 45For 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.
 46This 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:
 47To 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. (Lev. 11:1‑47)

 6And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat.
 7Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you.
 8And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.
 9These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:

;
Rom. 14:2,6,17• 2For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
 6He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

1 Cor. 6:13• 13Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. (1 Cor. 6:13)

 17Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
 18Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
 19And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

 5For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. (1 Tim. 4:3‑5)
;
Titus 1:14‑15• 14Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
 15Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. (Titus 1:14‑15)
• Meats perish in the using, as those do who look not to the Highest. He is now dealing in nothing but sovereign grace, that the weakest may be sustained, and that the most wicked be saved through Christ and His redemption. (“Hebrews 13:7-9” by W. Kelly)
• To grow in the knowledge of Christ is our life and our privilege. The search after novelties which are foreign to Him is a proof of not being satisfied with Him. But he who is not satisfied with Jesus does not know Him, or, at least, has forgotten Him. It is impossible to enjoy Him, and not to feel that He is everything, that is to say, that He satisfies us, and that by the nature of what He is, He shuts out everything else. (“Hebrews 13” by J.N. Darby)
• It is the active grace of Christ that establishes and sustains the soul, and not divers and strange doctrines, which appear to be very intellectual meat, but only minister to the mind, and therefore do not profit those occupied with them. The vanity of the flesh has a craving after that which is new, and seeks to exalt itself by presenting truth in a way that is different to all that has been taught before, the result being that the leaders who have gone before are belittled, Jesus Christ loses His place as the unchanging Object before the soul, and we are “carried away” by strange doctrines. (“Outside the Camp: Hebrews 13” by H. Smith)

J. N. Darby Translation

+
9
Be not carried away with various and strange doctrines; for it is good that the heart be confirmed with grace, not meats; those who have walked in which have not been profited by them.

W. Kelly Translation

+
9
Be not carried awaya with diversb and strange doctrines; for [it is] good that the heart be confirmed with grace; not with meats, in which those that walked were not profited.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
The T. R. followed by the KJV rightly reads "peripatountes," not "carried about" as in the RV. It is not "carried about" as in {vi 29287}{/vi}, but carried away out of the straight course.
b
The word really means motley or various.
