⁹ Peter Has a VisionAround noon the next day, while they were on their way and coming close to the town, Peter went up on the roof to pray. ¹⁰ He became very hungry and wanted to eat, and while the food was being prepared, he fell into a trance ¹¹ and saw heaven open and something like a large linen sheet coming down, being lowered by its four corners to the ground. ¹² In it were all kinds of four-footed animals, reptiles, and birds of the air.
¹³ Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter! Kill something and eat it.”
¹⁴ But Peter said, “Absolutely not, Lord, for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean!”
¹⁵ Again the voice came to him a second time, “You must stop calling unclean what God has made clean.”

¹ Clean and Unclean Animals
The LORD told Moses and Aaron, ² “Tell the Israelis that these are the living creatures that you may eat among the animals of the earth: ³ You may eat any animal that has divided hooves with cloven feet and that ruminates its cud, ⁴ except you are not to eat the following animals that have divided hooves or ruminate their cud: the camel (because it chews the cud but doesn’t have divided hooves, it is to be unclean for you), ⁵ the rock badger (because it chews its cud but its hooves aren’t divided, it is to be unclean for you), ⁶ the hare (because it chews its cud, but its hooves aren’t divided, it is to be unclean for you), ⁷ and the pig (because it has divided hooves and is therefore cloven-footed, but it doesn’t ruminate its cud, it is to be unclean for you). ⁸ You are not to eat their flesh or even touch their carcasses. They are to be unclean for you.”
⁹ Clean and Unclean Seafood“You may eat anything that lives in the water—that is, you may eat anything that has fins and scales either from the seas or from the rivers. ¹⁰ But anything that doesn’t have fins or scales—whether from the seas or the rivers—any of the swarming creatures and living creatures in the waters are detestable for you. ¹¹ They are to remain detestable for you. You are not to eat of their meat and you are to detest their carcasses. ¹² Anything that doesn’t have fins or scales in the waters is a detestable thing for you.”
¹³ Clean and Unclean Winged Creatures“These are detestable things for you among winged creatures that you are not to eat, because they are detestable for you: the eagle, vulture, osprey, ¹⁴ red kite, falcons of any kind, ¹⁵ every kind of raven, ¹⁶ ostrich, nighthawk, seagull, hawks of every kind, ¹⁷ owls, cormorants, the ibis, ¹⁸ water-hens, pelicans, carrion, ¹⁹ storks, herons of every kind, the hoopoe, bata, ²⁰ and any winged insect that crawls on four legs is detestable for you. ²¹ However, you may eat winged creatures that crawl on four legs that extend over its head and by which it hops on the ground. ²² These creatures that you may eat include the locust of any kind, the bald locust of any kind, the cricket of any kind, and the grasshopper of any kind. ²³ But any other winged insect that has four legs is detestable for you ²⁴ and is unclean. Anyone who touches their carcasses becomes unclean until evening. ²⁵ And anyone who carries their carcasses is to wash his clothes, since he will remain unclean until evening.”
²⁶ Summary of Clean and Unclean“Any animal that has divided hooves and is cloven-footed but doesn’t chew the cud is unclean for you. Anyone who touches them is unclean. ²⁷ Among the animals, anything that walks on their paws and on four legs is unclean for you. Anyone who touches their carcasses becomes unclean until evening. ²⁸ Whoever carries their carcass is to wash their clothes, because they’ve become unclean until evening. They’re unclean for you.
²⁹ “These are unclean for you among the swarming creatures that crawl over the land: the rat, mouse, lizards of every kind, ³⁰ the gecko, crocodile, lizard, sand lizard, and chameleon. ³¹ These are unclean for you among the swarming creatures, so anyone who touches them when they’re dead becomes unclean until evening. ³² Furthermore, anything on which they fall when they’re dead becomes unclean, whether on an article of wood, clothing, skin, or a sack. And any vessel used for any work is to be washed in water, because it has become unclean until evening. ³³ Any earthen vessel into which any of these things fall becomes unclean, along with everything in it. You are to destroy it, along with all its contents.”
³⁴ Clean and Unclean Vessels“Any food that may be eaten, but into which water has soaked, becomes unclean. Any drink that may be drunk in any of these vessels becomes unclean, ³⁵ and anything into which their carcass falls becomes unclean. An oven or stove is to be broken in pieces. They’re unclean and therefore unclean for you.
³⁶ “A spring or a cistern that holds water is clean, but whoever touches the carcass of an unclean animal will be unclean. ³⁷ If their carcass falls on a seed, which is for sowing, what is to be sown is clean. ³⁸ But if water is put on the seed and part of their carcass falls on it, then it has become unclean for you.
³⁹ “If any of the animals that you may eat dies, the one who touches its carcass becomes unclean until evening. ⁴⁰ The one who eats from its carcass is to wash his clothes, because he has become unclean until evening. Even the one who carries the carcass is to wash his clothes, because he has become unclean until evening.”
⁴¹ Unclean Swarming Animals“Every swarming thing that swarms the land is detestable for you. It is not to be eaten. ⁴² You are not to eat anything that crawls on its belly, anything that walks on four legs, anything that has many legs, or any of the swarming creatures that swarm the land, because they’re detestable. ⁴³ You are not to make yourselves detestable on account of any swarming creature that swarms the land, and you are not to defile yourselves and become unclean due to them, ⁴⁴ because I, the LORD, am your God. Set yourselves apart and be holy, because I am holy. You are not to defile yourselves with any of the swarming creatures that swarm the earth. ⁴⁵ I am the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God. You are to be holy, because I am holy. ⁴⁶ This is the law concerning animals, every living creature that moves on the waters or swarms on land. ⁴⁷ You are to differentiate between the clean and unclean, between the living creature that can be eaten and the living creature that is not to be eaten.”

⁴ who sit among graves, and spend the night in secret places; who eat pigs’ meat, with the broth of detestable things in their pots;

¹ Refrain from Cutting Yourselves“You are children of the LORD your God. You must not lacerate yourselves or shave your foreheads on account of the dead, ² because you are a holy people to the LORD your God, and the LORD chose to make you his precious possession from among all the peoples of the earth.”
³ Refrain from Unclean Food“You must not eat any detestable food. ⁴ These are the animals that you may eat: ox, sheep, goat, ⁵ deer, gazelle, roebuck, wild goat, ibex, antelope, and mountain sheep. ⁶ You may eat every animal with a divided hoof—those with split cloven hooves—that chews the cud. ⁷ However, you must not eat these animals that chew the cud or have a divided hoof: the camel, hare, and rock badger. Even though they chew the cud, their hooves are not divided. Therefore they are unclean for you. ⁸ And also the pig, because even though its hoof is divided, it does not chew the cud. It is therefore unclean for you. You must not eat their meat or even touch their carcasses.
⁹ “You may choose to eat from these creatures in the water: you may eat anything with fin and scale, ¹⁰ but you may not eat anything without fin and scale, since it is unclean to you.
¹¹ “You may eat all clean birds. ¹² But you must not eat from any of these: the eagle, vulture, osprey, ¹³ buzzard, any kind of kite, ¹⁴ any kind of raven, ¹⁵ the ostrich, night hawk, seagull, any kind of falcon, ¹⁶ the little owl, the great owl, the horned owl, ¹⁷ the pelican, the carrion vulture, the cormorant, ¹⁸ the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat. ¹⁹ Any winged, swarming insect is unclean to you. They must not be eaten. ²⁰ You may eat every bird that is clean.
²¹ “You must not eat any carcass. But you may give it to the alien in your cities so he may eat it or sell it to a foreigner, for you are a holy people to the LORD your God.
“You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”
²² Remember to Tithe“Be sure to tithe annually from everything you plant that yields a harvest in the field. ²³ Then in the presence of the LORD your God, in the place where he’ll choose to establish his name, you may consume the tithe of your grain, your new wine, your oil, and the firstborn of your livestock and flock, so that you’ll learn to revere the LORD your God all your life. ²⁴ Now the way may be distant from you, so that you are unable to transport your tithe because you have been blessed by the LORD your God and the place where the LORD your God chooses to establish his name may be distant from you. ²⁵ In that case, convert it into cash, secure the money, and then bring it to the place where the LORD will choose. ²⁶ You may spend the money to your heart’s content to buy livestock, flocks, wine, strong drink, and whatever you desire. You and your household may eat there and rejoice in the presence of the LORD your God.”
²⁷ The Levitical Tithe“But you must not forget the descendant of Levi in your town because there is no tribal allotment for him as there is for you. ²⁸ Every third year, bring all the tithes of your produce of that year and store it in your cities ²⁹ so the descendants of Levi—who have no tribal allotment as you do—foreigners, orphans, and widows who live in your cities may come, eat, and be satisfied. That way, the LORD your God shall bless you in everything you do.”

¹¹ Now a large herd of pigs was grazing on a hillside nearby. ¹² So the demons begged him, “Send us among the pigs, so that we can go into them!” ¹³ So he let them do this. The unclean spirits came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd of about 2,000 rushed down the cliff into the sea and drowned there.
¹⁴ Now when those who had been taking care of the pigs ran away, they reported what had happened in the city and countryside. So the people went to see what had happened.

¹⁶ No one would give him anything, even though he would gladly have filled himself with the husks the pigs were eating.

³³ Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the cliff into the lake and drowned.

²² Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout is a beautiful woman without discretion.

² I held out my hands all day long to a disobedient people, who walk in a way that isn’t good, following their own inclinations— ³ a people who continually provoke me to my face; they keep sacrificing in gardens and waving their hands over stone altars; ⁴ who sit among graves, and spend the night in secret places; who eat pigs’ meat, with the broth of detestable things in their pots;

²⁸ Jesus Heals Two Demon-Possessed Men
When Jesus arrived on the other side in the region of the Gerasenes, two demon-possessed men met him as they were coming out of the tombs. They were so violent that no one could travel on that road. ²⁹ Suddenly, they screamed, “What do you want with us, Son of God? Did you come here to torture us before the proper time?”
³⁰ Now a large herd of pigs was grazing some distance away from them. ³¹ So the demons began to plead with Jesus, saying, “If you drive us out, send us into that herd of pigs.”
³² He told them, “Go,” and they came out and went into the pigs. Suddenly, the whole herd rushed down the cliff into the sea and drowned in the water.
