tasted the good word of God and the miracles of the coming age,

“ Tell the Israelites:‘ This is the kind of creature you may eat from among all the animals that are on the land.You may eat any among the animals that has a divided hoof( the hooves are completely split in two) and that also chews the cud.However, you must not eat these from among those that chew the cud and have divided hooves: The camel is unclean to you because it chews the cud even though its hoof is not divided.The rock badger is unclean to you because it chews the cud even though its hoof is not divided.The hare is unclean to you because it chews the cud even though its hoof is not divided.The pig is unclean to you because its hoof is divided( the hoof is completely split in two), even though it does not chew the cud.You must not eat from their meat and you must not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.“‘ These you can eat from all creatures that are in the water: Any creatures in the water that have both fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the streams, you may eat.But any creatures that do not have both fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the streams, from all the swarming things of the water and from all the living creatures that are in the water, are detestable to you.Since they are detestable to you, you must not eat their meat and their carcass you must detest.Any creature in the water that does not have both fins and scales is detestable to you.“‘ These you are to detest from among the birds– they must not be eaten, because they are detestable: the griffon vulture, the bearded vulture, the black vulture,the kite, the buzzard of any kind,every kind of crow,the eagle owl, the short-eared owl, the long-eared owl, the hawk of any kind,the little owl, the cormorant, the screech owl,the white owl, the scops owl, the osprey,the stork, the heron of any kind, the hoopoe, and the bat.“‘ Every winged swarming thing that walks on all fours is detestable to you.However, this you may eat from all the winged swarming things that walk on all fours, which have jointed legs to hop with on the land.These you may eat from them: the locust of any kind, the bald locust of any kind, the cricket of any kind, the grasshopper of any kind.But any other winged swarming thing that has four legs is detestable to you.“‘ By these you defile yourselves; anyone who touches their carcass will be unclean until the evening,and anyone who carries their carcass must wash his clothes and will be unclean until the evening.“‘ All animals that divide the hoof but it is not completely split in two and do not chew the cud are unclean to you; anyone who touches them becomes unclean.All that walk on their paws among all the creatures that walk on all fours are unclean to you. Anyone who touches their carcass will be unclean until the evening,and the one who carries their carcass must wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean to you.“‘ Now this is what is unclean to you among the swarming things that swarm on the land: the rat, the mouse, the large lizard of any kind,the Mediterranean gecko, the spotted lizard, the wall gecko, the skink, and the chameleon.These are the ones that are unclean to you among all the swarming things. Anyone who touches them when they die will be unclean until evening.Also, anything they fall on when they die will become unclean– any wood vessel or garment or article of leather or sackcloth. Any such vessel with which work is done must be immersed in water and will be unclean until the evening. Then it will become clean.As for any clay vessel they fall into, everything in it will become unclean and you must break it.Any food that may be eaten which becomes soaked with water will become unclean. Anything drinkable in any such vessel will become unclean.Anything their carcass may fall on will become unclean. An oven or small stove must be smashed to pieces; they are unclean, and they will stay unclean to you.However, a spring or a cistern which collects water will be clean, but one who touches their carcass will be unclean.Now, if such a carcass falls on any sowing seed which is to be sown, it is clean,but if water is put on the seed and such a carcass falls on it, it is unclean to you.“‘ Now if an animal that you may eat dies, whoever touches its carcass will be unclean until the evening.One who eats from its carcass must wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening, and whoever carries its carcass must wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.Every swarming thing that swarms on the land is detestable; it must not be eaten.You must not eat anything that crawls on its belly or anything that walks on all fours or on any number of legs of all the swarming things that swarm on the land, because they are detestable.Do not make yourselves detestable by any of the swarming things. You must not defile yourselves by them and become unclean by them,for I am the LORD your God and you are to sanctify yourselves and be holy because I am holy. You must not defile yourselves by any of the swarming things that creep on the ground,for I am the LORD who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God, and you are to be holy because I am holy.This is the law of the land animals, the birds, all the living creatures that move in the water, and all the creatures that swarm on the land,to distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between the living creatures that may be eaten and the living creatures that must not be eaten.’”

They must be kept for the community of the Israelites for use in the water of purification– it is a purification for sin.The one who gathers the ashes of the heifer must wash his clothes and be ceremonially unclean until evening. This will be a permanent ordinance both for the Israelites and the resident foreigner who lives among them.“‘ Whoever touches the corpse of any person will be ceremonially unclean seven days.He must purify himself with water on the third day and on the seventh day, and so will be clean. But if he does not purify himself on the third day and the seventh day, then he will not be clean.Anyone who touches the corpse of any dead person and does not purify himself defiles the tabernacle of the LORD. And that person must be cut off from Israel, because the water of purification was not sprinkled on him. He will be unclean; his uncleanness remains on him.“‘ This is the law: When a man dies in a tent, anyone who comes into the tent and all who are in the tent will be ceremonially unclean seven days.And every open container that has no covering fastened on it is unclean.And whoever touches the body of someone killed with a sword in the open fields, or the body of someone who died of natural causes, or a human bone, or a grave, will be unclean seven days.“‘ For a ceremonially unclean person you must take some of the ashes of the heifer burnt for purification from sin and pour fresh running water over them in a vessel.Then a ceremonially clean person must take hyssop, dip it in the water, and sprinkle it on the tent, on all its furnishings, and on the people who were there, or on the one who touched a bone, or one killed, or one who died, or a grave.And the clean person must sprinkle the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day; and on the seventh day he must purify him, and then he must wash his clothes, and bathe in water, and he will be clean in the evening.But the man who is unclean and does not purify himself, that person must be cut off from among the community, because he has polluted the sanctuary of the LORD; the water of purification was not sprinkled on him, so he is unclean.“‘ So this will be a perpetual ordinance for them: The one who sprinkles the water of purification must wash his clothes, and the one who touches the water of purification will be unclean until evening.
