Bible verses about "pork" | LEB

¹⁷ "Do not think that I have come to destroy the law or the prophets. I have not come to destroy them but to fulfill them. ¹⁸ For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one tiny letter or one stroke of a letter will pass away from the law until all takes place. ¹⁹ Therefore whoever abolishes one of the least of these commandments and teaches people to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever keeps them and teaches them, this person will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

¹⁷ Do you not understand that everything that enters into the mouth goes into the stomach and is evacuated into the latrine? ¹⁸ But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these defile the person. ¹⁹ For from the heart come evil plans, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, abusive speech. ²⁰ These are the things that defile a person. But eating with unwashed hands does not defile a person!"

³ who forbid marrying and insist on abstaining from foods that God created for sharing in with thankfulness by those who believe and who know the truth, ⁴ because everything created by God is good and nothing is to be rejected if it is* received with thankfulness, ⁵ for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.

⁸ And also the pig _⌊because it has a division of the hoof_⌋* _⌊but does not chew the cud_⌋;* it is unclean for you; from their meat you shall not eat, and you shall not touch their _⌊carcasses_⌋.*

¹ "You are children* of Yahweh your God; therefore you must not gash* yourself, and _⌊you must not make your forehead bald_⌋* for the dead. ² For you are a people holy to Yahweh your God, and you Yahweh has chosen to be a treasured possession from among all of the peoples that are on the surface* of the earth. ³ You shall not eat any detestable thing. ⁴ These are the animals you may eat: ox, _⌊sheep, goats_⌋,* ⁵ deer, gazelle, roebuck, wild goat, ibex, antelope, and mountain sheep. ⁶ And any animal having a split hoof* and so _⌊a dividing of the hoof into two parts_⌋* _⌊and that chews the cud_⌋* among the animals*—that animal you may eat. ⁷ Only these you may not eat from _⌊those chewing the cud_⌋* and from _⌊those having a division of the hoof_⌋:* the camel and the hare and the coney, because _⌊they chew the cud_⌋,* but they do not divide the hoof; they are therefore unclean for you. ⁸ And also the pig _⌊because it has a division of the hoof_⌋* _⌊but does not chew the cud_⌋;* it is unclean for you; from their meat you shall not eat, and you shall not touch their _⌊carcasses_⌋.* ⁹ "This is what you shall eat from all that is in the water: _⌊everything_⌋* _⌊that has fins and scales_⌋* you may eat. ¹⁰ But _⌊anything that does not have_⌋* fins and scales, you may not eat, for it is unclean for you. ¹¹ "All of the birds that are clean you may eat. ¹² Now these are the ones you shall not eat _⌊any of them_⌋:* the eagle and the vulture and the short-toed eagle,* ¹³ and the red kite* and the black kite or _⌊any kind of falcon_⌋,* ¹⁴ and any kind of crow* according to its kind, ¹⁵ and the _⌊ostrich_⌋* and the short-eared owl and the seagull* and the hawk according to its kind, ¹⁶ the little owl and the great owl and the barn owl,* ¹⁷ and the desert owl* and the carrion vulture* and the cormorant,* ¹⁸ and the stork and the heron according to its kind and the hoopoe and the bat. ¹⁹ And also all of _⌊the winged insects_⌋;* they are unclean for you; you shall not eat them. ²⁰ You may eat any clean bird. ²¹ "You shall not eat any carcass;* you may give it to the alien who is in your _⌊towns_⌋,* and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner, for you are a holy people for Yahweh your God; you may not boil a kid in its mother's milk. ²² "Certainly you must give a tithe of all the yield of your seed, _⌊which comes forth from your field year after year_⌋.* ²³ And you shall eat _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh your God in the place that he will choose to make to dwell his name there the tithe of your grain, your wine and your olive oil and the firstling of your herd and your flock, so that you may learn to revere Yahweh your God _⌊always_⌋.* ²⁴ But if _⌊the distance is too great for you_⌋,* so that you are not able to transport* it, because the place that Yahweh your God will choose to set his name there, it is too far from you, when Yahweh your God will bless you, ²⁵ then in that case _⌊you may exchange for money_⌋,* and you shall take* the money to your hand and go to the place that Yahweh your God will choose. ²⁶ You may spend the money for anything _⌊that you desire_⌋,* for oxen or for sheep or for wine or for strong drink or for anything _⌊that you desire_⌋,* and you shall eat it there _⌊before_⌋* Yahweh your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household. ²⁷ And as to the Levite who is in your _⌊towns_⌋,* you shall not neglect him, because there is not a plot of ground for him and an inheritance along with you. ²⁸ "At the end of three years you shall bring out all of the tithe of your yield for that year, and you shall store it in your _⌊towns_⌋.* ²⁹ And so the Levite may come, because there is no plot of ground for him or an inheritance with you, and the alien also may come and the orphan and the widow that are in your _⌊towns_⌋,* and _⌊they may eat their fill_⌋,* so that Yahweh your God may bless you in all of the work of your hand that you undertake."

¹ Now receive the one who is weak in faith, but not for quarrels about opinions. ² One believes he may eat all things, but the one who is weak eats only vegetables. ³ The one who eats must not despise the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat must not judge the one who eats, because God has accepted him. ⁴ Who are you, who passes judgment on the domestic slave belonging to someone else? To his own master he stands or falls, and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand. ⁵ One person* prefers one day over another day, and another person regards every day alike. Each one must be fully convinced in his own mind. ⁶ The one who is intent on the day is intent on it for the Lord, and the one who eats eats for the Lord, because he is thankful to God, and the one who does not eat does not eat for the Lord, and he is thankful to God. ⁷ For none of us lives for himself and none dies for himself. ⁸ For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. ⁹ For Christ died and became alive again for this reason, in order that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living. ¹⁰ But why do you judge your brother? Or also, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. ¹¹ For it is written,
"As I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will praise God."* ¹² So* each one of us will give an account concerning himself.* ¹³ Therefore, let us no longer pass judgment on one another, but rather decide this: not to place a cause for stumbling or a temptation before a brother. ¹⁴ I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean of itself, except to the one who considers something to be unclean; to that person it is unclean. ¹⁵ For if because of food, your brother is grieved, you are no longer living according to love. Do not destroy by your food that person for whom Christ died. ¹⁶ Therefore do not let your good be slandered. ¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ For the one who serves Christ in this way is well-pleasing to God and approved by people. ¹⁹ So then, let us pursue _⌊what promotes peace_⌋* and _⌊what edifies one another_⌋*. ²⁰ Do not destroy the work of God on account of food. All things are clean, but it is wrong for the person _⌊who eats and stumbles in the process_⌋*. ²¹ It is good not to eat meat or to drink wine or to do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is weakened.* ²² The faith that you have, have with respect to yourself before God. Blessed is the one who does not pass judgment on himself by what he approves. ²³ But the one who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not do so from faith, and everything that is not from faith is sin.

¹⁷ Those who sanctify themselves and those who cleanse themselves _⌊to go into_⌋* the gardens after the one in the middle, eating the flesh of swine and detestable things* and rodents* together
shall come to an end!" _⌊declares_⌋* Yahweh.

² I spread out my hands all day to a stubborn people, those who walk after their thoughts in the way that is not good, ³ the people _⌊who provoke_⌋* me to anger continually to my face, slaughtering for sacrifices in the garden, and making smoke offerings on bricks, ⁴ _⌊who sit_⌋* in graves and spend the night in _⌊secret places_⌋,* _⌊who eat_⌋* the flesh of swine with* a fragment* of impurity in their vessels,

¹ Then* Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them, ² "Speak to the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* saying, 'These are the animals that you may eat from all the animals that are on the land: ³ Any among the animals that has a divided hoof and has a split cleft in* the hoof, such* you may eat. ⁴ However,* these* you may not eat from those that chew the cud and from those that have a* divided hoof: the camel, because it is a chewer of cud but it does not have a hoof that is divided—it is unclean for you; ⁵ and the coney, because it is a chewer of cud but it does not have a hoof that is divided—it is unclean for you; ⁶ and the hare, because it is a chewer of cud but it does not have a hoof that is divided—it is unclean for you; ⁷ and the pig, because it has a divided hoof and has a split cleft in* the hoof but it does not chew cud—it is unclean for you. ⁸ You must not eat from their meat, and you must not touch their dead body—they are unclean for you. ⁹ " 'These* you may eat from all that are in the water: any in the water that has a fin and scales, whether in the seas or* in the streams—such* you may eat. ¹⁰ But any that does not have a fin and scales, whether in the seas or* in the streams, _⌊among_⌋* all the water's swarmers among all the living creatures that are in the water—they are a detestable thing to you. ¹¹ And they shall be detestable to you; you must not eat from their meat, and you must detest their dead body. ¹² Any that does not have a fin and scales in the water—it is a detestable thing to you. ¹³ " 'And these you must detest from the birds; they must not be eaten—they are detestable: the eagle and the vulture and the short-toed eagle, ¹⁴ and the red kite and the black kite according to its kind, ¹⁵ every crow according to its kind, ¹⁶ and _⌊the ostrich_⌋* and the short-eared owl and the seagull and the hawk according to its kind, ¹⁷ and the little owl and the cormorant and the great owl, ¹⁸ and the barn owl and the desert owl and the carrion vulture, ¹⁹ and the stork, the heron according to its kind and the hoopoe and the bat. ²⁰ " 'Any _⌊winged insect_⌋* that walks on all fours is detestable to you. ²¹ Only this may you eat from any of _⌊the winged insects_⌋* that walk on all fours—that which has jointed legs above its feet for leaping upon the land. ²² _⌊From these_⌋* you may eat the locust according to its kind and the bald locust according to its kind and the cricket according to its kind and the grasshopper according to its kind. ²³ But* any other* _⌊winged insect_⌋* that has four legs is detestable to you. ²⁴ And by these you shall become unclean—anyone who touches their dead body shall become unclean until the evening, ²⁵ and anyone who carries their dead body must wash his garments, and he shall be unclean until the evening. ²⁶ " 'With regard to any animal that has a divided hoof but does not split the hoof, or* does not have a cud for chewing*—they are unclean for you; anyone who touches them shall become unclean. ²⁷ And anything that walks upon its paws among any of the animals* that walks on all fours—they are unclean for you; anyone who touches their dead body shall become unclean until the evening, ²⁸ and the one who carries their dead body must wash his garments, and he shall be unclean until the evening—they are unclean for you. ²⁹ " 'And these* are the unclean for you among the swarmers* that swarm on the land: the weasel and the mouse and the thorn-tailed lizard according to its kind, ³⁰ and the gecko and the land crocodile and the lizard and the sand lizard and the chameleon. ³¹ These are the unclean for you among all the swarmers; anyone who touches them at their death shall become unclean until the evening. ³² And anything on which _⌊one of them_⌋* falls at their death shall become unclean: any object of wood or garment or skin or sackcloth—any object that has performed work—must be placed in water, and it shall be unclean until the evening, and then it shall be clean. ³³ And any clay vessel* into which it falls shall become unclean, and you must break it. ³⁴ Any of the food that could be eaten on which water from such a vessel comes shall become unclean, and any liquid that could be drunk in any such vessel shall become unclean. ³⁵ And anything on which _⌊one of their dead bodies_⌋* falls shall become unclean: an oven or* a stove must be broken*—they are unclean and shall be unclean for you. ³⁶ Surely* a spring or* a cistern collecting water shall be clean, but that which touches their dead body shall become unclean. ³⁷ And when _⌊one of their dead bodies_⌋* falls on any _⌊seed for sowing_⌋,* it is clean. ³⁸ But* when water is put on the seed and _⌊one of their dead bodies_⌋* falls on it, it is unclean for you. ³⁹ " 'And when _⌊one of the animals_⌋* dies that is for you to eat, the one who touches its dead body shall become unclean until the evening. ⁴⁰ And the one who eats _⌊some of_⌋* its dead body must wash his garments, and he shall be unclean until the evening; and the one who carries its dead body must wash his garments, and he shall be unclean until the evening. ⁴¹ " 'And any swarmer that swarms on the land is detestable; it must not be eaten. ⁴² You must not eat* anything that moves upon its belly or* that walks on all fours, even any with numerous feet belonging to any swarmer that swarms on the land, because they are detestable. ⁴³ You must not defile yourselves with any swarmer that swarms, and you must not make yourselves unclean by them and so be made unclean by them, ⁴⁴ because I am Yahweh your God, and you must keep yourselves sanctified, so that* you shall be holy, because I am holy. And you must not make yourselves unclean with any swarmer that moves along on the land, ⁴⁵ because I am Yahweh, who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be for you as God. Thus* you shall be holy, because I am holy. ⁴⁶ " 'This is the regulation of the animals* and the birds and all living creatures that move along in the water and _⌊concerning_⌋* all the creatures that swarm on the land, ⁴⁷ to distinguish between the unclean and the clean and between the animal that is to be eaten and the animal that must not be eaten.'"

⁷ and the pig, because it has a divided hoof and has a split cleft in* the hoof but it does not chew cud—it is unclean for you. ⁸ You must not eat from their meat, and you must not touch their dead body—they are unclean for you.
