Thematic Bible: Unclean and not to be eaten


Thematic Bible



And among birds these are to be disgusting to you, and not to be used for food: the eagle and the gier-eagle and the ospray;

And the ostrich and the night-hawk and the sea-hawk, and birds of that sort;


Every raven, and all birds of that sort;



And the pig is unclean to you, because though the horn of its foot is parted, its food does not come back. Their flesh may not be used for food, and their dead bodies may not even be touched; they are unclean to you.
