Leviticus 11: God told Moses to inform the Jews to
only eat animals with a completely divided hoof and chews its cud (eating the
food that was swallowed previously), which excludes rabbit, camel, coney, and
pigs. They are not to even touch the meat or carcass of non-approved
animals. They are to
only eat and touch sea creatures that have fins and scales, and reject birds
that feed on flesh like eagles, hawk, raven, owl, and kite. They are to avoid
all flying insect that walk on all four, except those with wings and have joint
legs for hopping like locust, cricket, and grasshoppers. Every creature that
moves on the ground like weasel, gecko, lizards, and chameleon, must be avoided.
Whoever violates these rules will be unclean till evening and must wash their clothes.
Food to eat are considered clean to God, but those that are to be avoided are
considered unclean.
Leviticus 12: God told Moses that a woman who reproduces a boy should
be unclean for 7 days and the boy circumcised on the 8th day. The mother must
wait 33 days to be purified from the bleeding. If a girl is born, she is
unclean for 2 weeks and must be purified from the bleeding for 66 days (I guess
baby girls produce more blood in mothers than the boys do - What do the doctors
say?). The mother is to make a sin offering after purification is completed.

bathing in ceremonially clean water. |
