eating shellfish

¹⁰But whatever does not have fins and scales, of those things that live and move in the waters, shall be abominable to you,

⁹These are the things that breed in the waters, and which it is lawful to eat. All that has little fins and scales, as much in the sea, as in the rivers and ponds, you shall eat. ¹⁰But whatever does not have fins and scales, of those things that live and move in the waters, shall be abominable to you, ¹¹and detestable; their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall avoid. ¹²All that does not have fins and scales in the waters shall be polluted.

⁹These are the things that breed in the waters, and which it is lawful to eat. All that has little fins and scales, as much in the sea, as in the rivers and ponds, you shall eat.

¹And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: ²Say to the sons of Israel: These are the animals that you ought to eat out of all the living things of the earth. ³All that has a divided hoof, and that chews over again, among the cattle, you shall eat. ⁴But whatever certainly chews over again, but has a hoof that is not divided, such as the camel and others, these you shall not eat, and you shall consider them to be among what is unclean. ⁵The rock rabbit which chews over again, and whose hoof is not divided, is unclean, ⁶and so also is the hare, for it too chews over again, yet its hoof is not divided,

¹But accept those who are weak in faith, without disputing about ideas. ²For one person believes that he may eat all things, but if another is weak, let him eat plants. ³He who eats should not despise him who does not eat. And he who does not eat should not judge him who eats. For God has accepted him. ⁴Who are you to judge the servant of another? He stands or falls by his own Lord. But he shall stand. For God is able to make him stand. ⁵For one person discerns one age from the next. But another discerns unto every age. Let each one increase according to his own mind. ⁶He who understands the age, understands for the Lord. And he who eats, eats for the Lord; for he gives thanks to God. And he who does not eat, does not eat for the Lord, and he gives thanks to God.

³And everything that moves and lives will be food for you. Just as with the edible plants, I have delivered them all to you,

¹⁹For it does not enter into his heart, but into the gut, and it exits into the sewer, purging all foods.”

¹“Be sons of the Lord your God. You shall not cut yourselves, nor make yourselves bald, because of the dead. ²For you are a holy people, for the Lord your God. And he chose you, so that you may be a people particularly his, out of all the nations on earth. ³You shall not eat the things that are unclean. ⁴These are the animals which you ought to eat: the ox, and the sheep, and the goat, ⁵the stag and the roe deer, the gazelle, the wild goat, the addax, the antelope, the giraffe. ⁶Every beast which has a hoof divided into two parts and which also chews the cud, you shall eat.

¹⁴I know, with confidence in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in and of itself. But to him who considers anything to be unclean, it is unclean to him.

³¹Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever else you may do, do everything for the glory of God.

¹³If any man has slept with a male in place of sexual intercourse with a female, both have committed a nefarious act, they shall die a death. So let their blood be upon them.

¹³Now in saying something new, he has made the former old. But that which decays and grows old is close to passing away.
