Be not carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with foods, which have not profited them that have been observing them.

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the animals which you shall eat among all the animals that are on the earth.

Nevertheless these shall you not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because it chews the cud, but divides not the hoof; it is unclean unto you.

And the hare, because it chews the cud, but divides not the hoof; it is unclean unto you.

Of their flesh shall you not eat, and their carcass shall you not touch; they are unclean to you.

And 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:

Whatsoever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

And the kite, and the falcon after its kind;

And the ostrich, and the nighthawk, and the sea gull, and the hawk after its kind,

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

All winged insects that creep, going upon all fours, shall be an abomination unto you.

Even these of them you may eat; the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.

And for these you shall be unclean: whosoever touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening.

The carcasses of every animal which divides the hoof, and is not cloven footed, nor chews the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that touches them shall be unclean.

And he that bears the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: they are unclean unto you.

And the gecko, and the monitor lizard, and the wall lizard, and the sand lizard, and the chameleon.

And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, does fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening; so it shall be cleansed.

Of all food which may be eaten, that on which such water comes shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.

Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.

But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcass fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.

And he that eats of the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: he also that bears the carcass of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

Whatsoever goes upon the belly, and whatsoever goes upon all fours, or whatsoever has many feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

For I am the LORD your God: you shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall you defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.

This is the law of the animals, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps upon the earth:

You shall not eat any abominable thing.

The hare, and the gazelle, and the roebuck, and the wild goat, and the ibex, and the antelope, and the mountain sheep.

Nevertheless these you shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that have cloven hooves; as the camel, and the hare, and the rock badger: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you.

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

Of all clean birds you shall eat.

And the buzzard, and the falcon, and the kite after their kinds,

And the ostrich, and the nighthawk, and the sea gull, and the hawk after their kinds,

And the pelican, and the carrion vulture, and the cormorant,

And every winged insect is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.

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

Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul has not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.

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

And the voice spoke unto him again the second time, What God has cleansed, that call not common.

Let no man therefore judge you in food, or in drink, or in respect of a holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and 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 unto the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and shall wash them with water.

For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet there:

So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their generations.

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

And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, but shall stay outside of his tent seven days.

But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off: and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.

He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen trousers upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen belt, and with the linen turban shall he be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and so put them on.

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

And every soul that eats that which died of itself, or that which was torn by animals, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening: then shall he be clean.

But if he washes them not, nor bathes his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.

The soul which has touched any such 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, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the evening.

And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up outside the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of purification: it is a purification for sin.

He that touches the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.

Whosoever touches the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifies not himself, defiles the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of purification was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.

And every open vessel, which has no covering fastened upon it, is unclean.

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

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

And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkles the water of purification shall wash his clothes; and he that touches the water of purification shall be unclean until evening.

And all the elders of that city, that are nearest unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley:

But it shall be, when evening comes on, he shall wash himself with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again.

Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and an earthly sanctuary.

Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:

But now, after you have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn you again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?

Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; to make in himself of two one new man, so making peace;

Therefore if you be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are you subject to ordinances,

Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?

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

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

But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
