  • Lev 11:2-9 : 2 Speak to the Israelites and tell them: These are the living creatures that you may eat among all the animals on the earth: 3 You may eat any animal that has a divided hoof, one completely split, and that chews the cud. 4 But among those that chew the cud or have a divided hoof, you must not eat the camel. Though it chews the cud, it does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean to you. 5 The hyrax, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean to you. 6 The hare, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean to you. 7 And the pig, though it has a divided hoof, completely split, it does not chew the cud; it is unclean to you. 8 You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you. 9 Of all the creatures living in the water, you may eat any that have fins and scales, whether in the seas or the rivers. 10 But all creatures in the seas or streams that do not have fins and scales, all the swarming creatures in the water, and all the living creatures in it, you are to regard as detestable. 11 You must regard them as detestable; you must not eat their meat, and you must detest their carcasses. 12 Anything living in the water that does not have fins and scales is detestable to you. 13 These are the birds you are to regard as detestable and not eat because they are detestable: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture, 14 the kite and any kind of falcon or hawk, 15 any kind of raven. 16 Also the ostrich, the night hawk, the seagull, and any kind of hawk. 17 The little owl, the cormorant, and the great owl. 18 The white owl, the pelican, and the vulture. 19 The stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat. 20 All winged insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you. 21 However, you may eat the following kinds of winged insects that walk on all fours: those that have jointed legs for hopping on the ground. 22 Of them you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket, or grasshopper. 23 But all other winged insects that have four legs are detestable to you. 24 By these you will become unclean: whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until the evening. 25 Anyone who picks up their carcasses must wash their clothes and will be unclean until the evening. 26 Every animal that has a divided hoof but does not chew the cud is unclean to you; whoever touches them will become unclean. 27 All animals that walk on their paws among the creatures that walk on all fours are unclean to you; whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until the evening. 28 Anyone who picks up their carcasses must wash their clothes and will be unclean until the evening. These animals are unclean to you. 29 These are the unclean creatures that swarm on the ground: the mole, the mouse, and any kind of large lizard. 30 The gecko, the monitor lizard, the common lizard, the sand lizard, and the chameleon are unclean to you. 31 These are the unclean creatures that swarm. Whoever touches them when they are dead will be unclean until the evening. 32 Any object upon which one of their dead bodies falls will be unclean, whether it is made of wood, cloth, leather, or sackcloth. Whatever is used to do work must be put into water; it will remain unclean until the evening, then it will be clean. 33 If any of them falls into a clay pot, everything in it will be unclean, and you must break the pot. 34 Any food that could be eaten but has water from such a pot on it will be unclean, and any drink that could be drunk from such a pot will be unclean. 35 Anything on which one of their carcasses falls will become unclean; an oven or cooking stove must be broken. They are unclean, and they will remain unclean to you. 36 But a spring or a cistern containing water will remain clean, though anyone who touches one of their carcasses will become unclean. 37 If one of their carcasses falls on any seed that is to be planted, it is clean. 38 But if water has been put on the seed and one of their carcasses falls on it, it is unclean to you. 39 If any animal that you are allowed to eat dies, anyone who touches its carcass will be unclean until the evening. 40 Anyone who eats from its carcass must wash their clothes and will be unclean until the evening. Anyone who carries its carcass must wash their clothes and will be unclean until the evening. 41 Every swarming creature that moves along the ground is detestable; it must not be eaten. 42 You must not eat any creature that moves on its belly, or walks on four legs, or has many feet. All these swarming creatures that move along the ground are detestable. 43 Do not make yourselves detestable by eating any swarming creature that moves along the ground. Do not defile yourselves with them, for you will become unclean through them. 44 For I am the LORD your God. Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. Do not defile yourselves with any of the swarming creatures that move along the ground. 45 For I am the LORD, who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore, be holy, because I am holy. 46 These are the laws regarding animals, birds, every living creature that moves in the water, and every creature that moves along the ground. 47 You must distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between living creatures that may be eaten and those that may not be eaten.
  • Lev 14:8-9 : 8 The one who is to be cleansed must wash their clothes, shave off all their hair, and bathe in water; then they will be clean. After that, they may enter the camp but must stay outside their tent for seven days. 9 On the seventh day, they must shave off all their hair—their head, their beard, their eyebrows, and all their hair. They must wash their clothes and bathe their body in water, and then they will be clean.
  • Lev 16:4 : 4 He must put on a sacred linen tunic, with linen undergarments next to his body; he is to tie a linen sash around him and put on the linen turban. These are sacred garments; so he must bathe himself with water before he puts them on.

They shall be kept for the Israelite community for use in the water of purification; it is a purification offering. 10 The one who gathers the ashes of the heifer must also wash his clothes, and he shall remain unclean until evening. This shall be a lasting statute for the Israelites and for the foreigner living among them. 11 Whoever touches the dead body of any person shall be unclean for seven days. 12 He must purify himself with the water on the third day and on the seventh day, then he will be clean. But if he does not purify himself on the third day and the seventh day, he will not be clean. 13 Anyone who touches a dead body, the lifeless body of a person who has died, and does not purify himself, defiles the LORD's tabernacle. That person must be cut off from Israel because the water of purification was not sprinkled on him. He remains unclean; his uncleanness is still upon him. 14 This is the law: When a person dies in a tent, everyone who enters the tent and everyone who is in the tent shall be unclean for seven days. 15 And every open container that does not have a lid tightly fastened on it shall be unclean. 16 Anyone in the open field who touches someone who was killed with a sword, a dead body, a human bone, or a grave shall be unclean for seven days. 17 For the unclean person, they shall take some of the ashes from the burnt purification offering, and fresh water shall be added to them in a container. 18 Then a clean person shall take hyssop, dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, on all the vessels, on the people who were there, and on anyone who touched a bone, a slain person, a dead body, or a grave. 19 The clean person shall sprinkle the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day. On the seventh day, he shall purify him. Then the one being purified must wash his clothes and bathe in water, and he will be clean by evening. 20 But if someone is unclean and does not purify himself, that person shall be cut off from the assembly because he has defiled the sanctuary of the LORD. The water of purification has not been sprinkled on him; he is unclean. 21 This shall be a permanent statute for them. The one who sprinkles the water of purification must wash his clothes, and anyone who touches the water of purification will remain unclean until evening.

You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses. 9 You may eat anything in the waters that has fins and scales. 10 But anything in the waters that does not have fins and scales, you are not to eat; it is unclean for you. 11 You may eat any clean bird. 12 But of these you shall not eat: the eagle, the vulture, and the black vulture; 13 the red kite, the black kite, and any kind of falcon; 14 every raven of any kind; 15 the ostrich, the night hawk, the sea gull, and any kind of hawk; 16 the little owl, the great owl, and the white owl; 17 the pelican, the carrion vulture, and the cormorant; 18 the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat. 19 Every swarming winged creature is unclean for you; they shall not be eaten. 20 You may eat any clean flying creature. 21 You shall not eat anything that dies naturally. You may give it to the foreigner living in your towns so that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a holy people set apart for the LORD your God. You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.

    1For the law, being only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very image of those realities, can never, through the same sacrifices that are continually offered year after year, make those who draw near perfect.

    2Otherwise, wouldn’t they have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having been cleansed once for all, would no longer have any consciousness of sins?

    3But instead, these sacrifices serve as a reminder of sins year after year.

    18This is why even the first covenant was not inaugurated without blood.

    19For when every commandment of the law had been proclaimed by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

    20saying, 'This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded you to follow.'

    21In the same way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels used in worship.

    22Indeed, according to the Law, almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

    23Therefore, it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves require better sacrifices than these.

    24For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands, which is only a copy of the true one, but He entered heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.
