Leviticus 11:2-47
2 Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, These are the living things which you* may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
3 Whatever parts the hoof and is cloven footed and chews the cud, among the beasts, that may you* eat.
4 Nevertheless these will you* not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those that part the hoof: the camel, because he chews the cud but does not part the hoof, he is unclean to you*. 5 And the coney, because he chews the cud but does not part the hoof, he is unclean to you*. 6 And the hare, because she chews the cud but does not part the hoof, she is unclean to you*. 7 And the swine, because he parts the hoof and is cloven footed, but does not chew the cud, he is unclean to you*. 8 Of their flesh you* will not eat and their carcasses you* will not touch, they are unclean to you*.
9 These may you* eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas and in the rivers, that may you* eat.
10 And all that have no fins and scales in the seas and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters and of all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you*, 11 and they will be an abomination to you*. You* will not eat of their flesh and their carcasses you* will have in abomination. 12 Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination to you*.
13 And these you* will have in abomination among the birds, they will not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle and the vulture and the osprey, 14 and the kite and the falcon after its kind, 15 every raven after its kind, 16 and the ostrich and the night-hawk and the sea-gull and the hawk after its kind, 17 and the little owl and the cormorant and the great owl, 18 and the horned owl and the pelican and the carrion vulture, 19 and the stork, the heron after its kind and the hoopoe and the bat. 20 All winged creeping things that go upon all fours are an abomination to you*.
21 Yet these you* may eat of all winged creeping things that go upon all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to leap upon the earth, 22 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. 23 But all winged creeping things, which have four feet, are an abomination to you*, 24 and by these you* will become unclean. Whoever touches the carcass of them will be unclean until the evening. 25 And whoever bears any of the carcass of them will wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.

He also who bears the carcass of it will wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.

You* will therefore be holy, for I am holy.
46 This is the law of the beast and of the bird and of every living creature that moves in the waters and of every creature that creeps upon the earth, 47 to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.
4 Nevertheless these will you* not eat of those that chew the cud, or of those that part the hoof: the camel, because he chews the cud but does not part the hoof, he is unclean to you*. 5 And the coney, because he chews the cud but does not part the hoof, he is unclean to you*. 6 And the hare, because she chews the cud but does not part the hoof, she is unclean to you*. 7 And the swine, because he parts the hoof and is cloven footed, but does not chew the cud, he is unclean to you*. 8 Of their flesh you* will not eat and their carcasses you* will not touch, they are unclean to you*.

Leviticus 17:10-15
10 And whatever man there is of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that journey among them, who eats any manner of blood, I will set my face against that soul who eats blood and will cut him off from among his people.
11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood and I have given it to you* upon the altar to make atonement for your* souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by reason of the life.
12 Therefore I said to the sons of Israel, No soul of you* will eat blood, nor will any stranger that travels among you* eat blood.
13 And whatever man there is of the sons of Israel, or of the strangers that journey among them, who takes any beast or bird in hunting that may be eaten, he will pour out the blood of it and cover it with dust.
14 For as to the life of all flesh, the blood of it is with the life of it. Therefore I said to the sons of Israel, You* will eat the blood of no manner of flesh, for the life of all flesh is the blood of it. Whoever eats it will be cut off.
15 And every soul who eats what dies of itself, or what is torn of beasts, whether he is home-born or a traveler, he will wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening, then he will be clean.

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, The set feasts of Jehovah, which you* will proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts.
3 Six days will work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You* will do no manner of work. It is a Sabbath to Jehovah in all your* dwellings.
4 These are the set feasts of Jehovah, even holy convocations, which you* will proclaim in their appointed season.
5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, is Jehovah's Passover. 6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to Jehovah. You* will eat unleavened bread seven days. 7 In the first day you* will have a holy convocation. You* will do no job work. 8 But you* will offer an offering made by fire to Jehovah seven days. In the seventh day is a holy convocation, you* will do no job work.
9 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 10 Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, When you* have come into the land which I give to you* and will reap the harvest of it, then you* will bring the sheaf of the first-fruits of your* harvest to the priest. 11 And he will wave the sheaf before Jehovah, to be accepted for you*. On the morrow after the Sabbath the priest will wave it. 12 And in the day when you* wave the sheaf, you* will offer a male-lamb without blemish a year old for a burnt offering to Jehovah. 13 And the meal offering of it will be two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire to Jehovah for a sweet aroma. And the drink offering of it will be of wine, the fourth part of a hin. 14 And you* will eat neither bread, nor parched grain, nor fresh ears, until this same day, until you* have brought the oblation of your* God. It is an everlasting statute throughout your* genealogy in all your* dwellings.
15 And you* will count to you* from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that you* brought the sheaf of the wave offering, there will be complete seven Sabbaths. 16 You* will number fifty days, even to the morrow after the seventh Sabbath and you* will offer a new meal offering to Jehovah. 17 You* will bring out of your* habitations two wave-loaves of two tenth parts of an ephah. They will be of fine flour. They will be baked with leaven, for first-fruits to Jehovah. 18 And you* will present with the bread seven lambs without blemish a year old and one young bullock and two rams. They will be a burnt offering to Jehovah, with their meal offering and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to Jehovah. 19 And you* will offer one male-goat for a sin offering and two male-lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace offerings. 20 And the priest will wave them with the bread of the first-fruits for a wave offering before Jehovah, with the two lambs. They will be holy to Jehovah for the priest. 21 And you* will make proclamation on the same day, there will be a holy convocation to you*. You* will do no job work. It is an everlasting statute in all your* dwellings throughout your* genealogy.

23 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 24 Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, will be a solemn rest to you*, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. 25 You* will do no job work and you* will offer an offering made by fire to Jehovah.

It is an everlasting statute throughout your* genealogy in all your* dwellings. 32 It will be to you* a Sabbath of solemn rest and you* will afflict your* souls. In the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you* will keep your* Sabbath.
33 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 34 Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of tabernacles for seven days to Jehovah. 35 On the first day will be a holy convocation. You* will do no job work. 36 Seven days you* will offer an offering made by fire to Jehovah. On the eighth day will be a holy convocation to you* and you* will offer an offering made by fire to Jehovah. It is a solemn assembly; you* will do no job work.
37 These are the set feasts of Jehovah, which you* will proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to Jehovah, a burnt offering and a meal offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, each on its own day. 38 Besides the Sabbaths of Jehovah and besides your* gifts and besides all your* vows and besides all your* free-will offerings, which you* give to Jehovah.
39 However on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you* have gathered in the fruits of the land, you* will keep the feast of Jehovah seven days. On the first day will be a solemn rest and on the eighth day will be a solemn rest. 40 And you* will take to you* on the first day the fruit of majestic trees, branches of palm trees and boughs of thick trees and willows of the brook and you* will rejoice before Jehovah your* God seven days. 41 And you* will keep it a feast to Jehovah seven days in the year. It is an everlasting statute throughout your* genealogy. You* will keep it in the seventh month. 42 You* will dwell in booths seven days. All who are home-born in Israel will dwell in booths, 43 that your* genealogy may know that I made the sons of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt.

You* will do no job work. 19 But you* will offer an offering made by fire, a burnt offering to Jehovah: two young bullocks and one ram and seven male-lambs a year old (they will be to you* without blemish), 20 and their meal offering, fine flour mingled with oil. Three tenth parts you* will offer for a bullock and two tenth parts for the ram, 21 a tenth part will you offer for every lamb of the seven lambs. 22 Also one male-goat for a sin offering, to make atonement for you*. 23 You* will offer these besides the burnt offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering. 24 After this manner you* will offer daily, for seven days, the food of the offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to Jehovah. It will be offered besides the continual burnt offering and the drink offering of it. 25 And on the seventh day you* will have a holy convocation. You* will do no job work.
26 Also in the day of the first-fruits, when you* offer a new meal offering to Jehovah in your* feast of weeks, you* will have a holy convocation. You* will do no job work. 27 But you* will offer a burnt offering for a sweet aroma to Jehovah: two young bullocks, one ram, seven male-lambs a year old, 28 and their meal offering, fine flour mingled with oil, three tenth parts for each bullock, two tenth parts for the one ram, 29 a tenth part for every lamb of the seven lambs,

3 You will not eat any abominable thing.
4 These are the beasts which you* may eat: the ox, the sheep and the goat,
5 the male-deer and the gazelle and the roebuck and the wild goat and the ibex and the antelope and the chamois.
6 And every beast that parts the hoof and has the hoof cloven in two, and chews the cud, among the beasts, that may you* eat.
7 Nevertheless of those that chew the cud, or of those that have the hoof cloven, these you* will not eat: the camel and the hare and the coney, because they chew the cud but do not part the hoof, they are unclean to you*, 8 and the swine, because he parts the hoof but does not chew the cud, he is unclean to you*. Of their flesh you* will not eat and their carcasses you* will not touch.
9 These you* may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales you* may eat. 10 And whatever does not have fins and scales you* will not eat; it is unclean to you*.
11 Of all clean birds you* may eat, 12 but these are those of which you* will not eat: the eagle and the vulture and the osprey, 13 and the red-kite and the falcon and the kite according to its kind, 14 and every raven after its kind, 15 and the ostrich and the night-hawk and the sea-gull and the hawk according to its kind, 16 the little owl and the great owl and the horned owl, 17 and the pelican and the vulture and the cormorant, 18 and the stork and the heron according to its kind and the hoopoe and the bat. 19 And all winged creeping things are unclean to you*. They will not be eaten. 20 Of all clean birds you* may eat.
21 You* will not eat of anything that dies of itself. You may give it to the traveler who is within your gates, that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner, for you are a holy people to Jehovah your God. You will not boil a kid in its mother's milk.

Deuteronomy 16:1-17
1 Observe the month of Abib and keep the Passover to Jehovah your God, for in the month of Abib Jehovah your God brought you forth out of Egypt by night.
2 And you will sacrifice the Passover to Jehovah your God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which Jehovah will choose to cause his name to dwell there.
3 You will eat no leavened bread with it. Seven days you will eat unleavened bread with it, even the bread of affliction, for you came forth out of the land of Egypt in haste, that you may remember the day when you came forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life. 4 And there will be no leaven seen with you in all your borders seven days. Neither will any of the flesh, which you sacrifice the first day at evening, remain all night until the morning.
5 You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates, which Jehovah your God gives you, 6 but at the place which Jehovah your God will choose to cause his name to dwell in, there you will sacrifice the Passover at evening, at the going down of the sun, at the season that you came forth out of Egypt. 7 And you will roast and eat it in the place which Jehovah your God will choose and you will turn in the morning and go to your tents. 8 Six days you will eat unleavened bread and on the seventh day will be a solemn assembly to Jehovah your God. You will do no work.
9 You will number to you seven weeks. From the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain you will begin to number seven weeks. 10 And you will keep the feast of weeks to Jehovah your God with a tribute of a free-will offering from your hand, which you will give, just-as Jehovah your God graces you.
11 And you will rejoice before Jehovah your God, you and your son and your daughter and your man-servant and your maid-servant and the Levite who is within your gates and the traveler and the fatherless and the widow, who are in the midst of you, in the place which Jehovah your God will choose to cause his name to dwell there, 12 and you will remember that you were a bondman in Egypt. And you will observe and do these statutes.
13 You will keep the feast of tabernacles seven days after you have gathered in from your threshing-floor and from your winepress. 14 And you will rejoice in your feast, you and your son and your daughter and your man-servant and your maid-servant and the Levite and the traveler and the fatherless and the widow, who are within your gates.
15 Seven days you will keep a feast to Jehovah your God in the place which Jehovah will choose, because Jehovah your God will bless you in all your increase and in all the work of your hands and you will be altogether joyful.
16 Three times in a year all your males will appear before Jehovah your God in the place which he will choose: in the feast of unleavened bread and in the feast of weeks and in the feast of tabernacles. And they will not appear before Jehovah empty. 17 Every man will give as he is able, according to the blessing of Jehovah your God which he has given you.
3 You will eat no leavened bread with it. Seven days you will eat unleavened bread with it, even the bread of affliction, for you came forth out of the land of Egypt in haste, that you may remember the day when you came forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life. 4 And there will be no leaven seen with you in all your borders seven days.

3 saying, You entered to men having an uncircumcised state and ate together with them.
4 But Peter began and was expounding the matter to them afterwards, saying, 5 I was in the city of Joppa praying and I saw a vision while in a trance, a certain vessel coming down, like a great sheet being dropped down from heaven by the four edges, and it came to me. 6 Having stared into that sheet, I was considering, and I saw the four footed mammals of the earth and other beasts and reptiles and birds of the heaven.
7 Now I heard a voice saying to me, When you stand up Peter; sacrifice and eat.
8 But I said, Not-so, Lord, because anything common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.
9 But a voice answered me the second-time from heaven, What God has cleansed, you, do not make common. 10 Now this happened three-times and all were pulled up again into heaven. 11 And behold, promptly three men stood at the house in which I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me. 12 But the Spirit said for me to go together with them, making no distinction. Now these six brethren also came together with me, and we entered into the man’s house. 13 And he reported to us how he had seen the messenger standing in his house and saying to him, Send men to Joppa and send for Simon, whose surname is Peter; 14 who will be speaking the words to you in which you will be saved, you and all your house. 15 Now while I was beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just-like upon us also in the beginning. 16 Now I was reminded of the declaration of the Lord, how he said, John indeed immersed in water, but you will be immersed in the Holy Spirit. 17 Therefore, if God gave to them the equal gift like he also did to us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, now who was I, that I am able to forbid God? 18 But having heard these things, they were quiet and glorifying God, saying, Consequently, God has also given repentance to the Gentiles into life.

Romans 14:2-3
Romans 14:5-6
5 One indeed is judging a day beside another day; but one is judging each day the same; let each one be fully assured in his own mind.
6 He who is mindful of the day, is mindful of it to the Lord; and he who is not mindful of the day, is not mindful of it to the Lord; and he who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives-thanks to God. And he who does not eat, he does not eat to the Lord, and gives-thanks to God.
Romans 14:10
10 But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you also, why do you scorn your brother? For we will all be standing-before the judicial-seat of Christ.
Romans 14:13-17
13 Therefore we should no longer judge one another, but rather judge this: you are not to place a stumbling block, or offense, in the way of the brother.
14 I know, and have confidence in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is desecrated through itself, except to the one who counts something to be desecrated, to that one it is desecrated.
15 But if your brother is made sorrowful because of food, you are no longer walk according to love. Do not destroy that man, on behalf of whom Christ died, with your food.
16 Therefore do not let your good thing be blasphemed;
17 for the kingdom of God is not about food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Romans 14:20-21
1 Corinthians 8:7-13
7 But the knowledge is not in all people, but until now some, with the conscience of the idol, eat it like an idol-sacrifice, and their conscience is defiled, being weak.
8 But food does not present us to God; for neither if we eat, do we abound? Nor, if we do not eat, are we lacking?
9 But beware, lest this liberty of yours might become a stumbling block to the weak. 10 For if anyone sees you, (the one who has knowledge), reclining at a table in an idol’s sanctuary, will not his conscience, being weak, be built up to be eating the idol-sacrifices? 11 And the weak brother will be perishing on the basis of your knowledge, but Christ died because of him. 12 Now thus, by sinning directly at the brethren and beating their weak conscience, you are sinning directly at Christ. 13 Hence, if food is offending my brother, I should never eat idol’s meat forever, in order that I may not offend my brother.

1 Corinthians 10:28-31
28 But if anyone says to you, This has been an idol-sacrifice, do not eat, because of that man who divulged it and because of conscience; for ‘The earth is the Lord’s and its fullness.’
29 I say, not your own conscience, but the conscience of the other; why is my freedom judged by another conscience?
30 If I partake with gratitude, why am I blasphemed on behalf of what I am giving-thanks?
31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or if you are doing anything, do all to the glory of God.
Galatians 2:12-13
12 For he was eating together with the Gentiles before some came from James. But when they came, he was retreating back and separating himself, fearing those who were from the circumcision.
13 And the rest of the Jews were also hypocrites together with him; so-that even Barnabas was led away with their hypocrisy.

10 You yourselves observe days and months and seasons and years.

3 forbidding to marry and commanding to abstain from foods, which God created for reception with thanksgiving to the believing and those who have fully known the truth,

5 for it is made holy through the word of God and through petition.

9 Do not be carried away by various and strange teachings; for it is good that the heart be confirmed in gratitude; not by foods, in which those who walked have not been profited.
James 4:11
11 Brethren do not speak against one another. He who is speaking against a brother and is judging his brother, is speaking against the law and is judging the law. Now if you are judging the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.
