They sit among the graves. They spend their nights talking to the spirits of the dead. They eat the meat of pigs. Their cooking pots hold soup that has‘ unclean’ meat in it.

who sit among the graves and spend their nights keeping secret vigil; who eat the flesh of pigs, and whose pots hold broth of impure meat;

who sit in tombs, and spend the night in secret places; who eat pig’s flesh, and broth of tainted meat is in their vessels;

At night they go out among the graves, worshiping the dead. They eat the flesh of pigs and make stews with other forbidden foods.

sitting among the graves, spending nights in secret places, eating the meat of pigs, and putting polluted broth in their bowls.

Who sit among graves and spend the night in secret places; Who eat pig’s flesh, And the broth of unclean meat is in their pots.

Who sit among the graves, And spend the night in the tombs; Who eat swine’s flesh, And the broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

that sit among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; that eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable[ things is in] their vessels;

They sit among the tombs and keep watch all night long. They eat pork, and broth from unclean sacrificial meat is in their pans.

“ Some people set themselves apart and make themselves pure. They do it so they can go into the gardens to worship other gods. They follow what the worship leader tells them to do. They are among those who eat the meat of pigs and rats. They also eat other‘ unclean’ things. Those people and the one they follow will come to a horrible end,” announces the Lord.

Pigs have hooves that are separated completely in two. But they do not chew the cud. So they are“ unclean” for you.

But others are not like that. They sacrifice bulls to me, but at the same time they kill people. They offer lambs to me, but they also sacrifice dogs to other gods. They bring grain offerings to me, but they also offer pig’s blood to other gods. They burn incense to me, but they also worship statues of gods. They have chosen to go their own way. They take delight in things I hate.

Jesus got out of the boat. A man controlled by an evil spirit came from the tombs to meet him.The man lived in the tombs. No one could keep him tied up anymore. Not even a chain could hold him.His hands and feet had often been chained. But he tore the chains apart. And he broke the iron cuffs on his ankles. No one was strong enough to control him.Night and day he screamed among the tombs and in the hills. He cut himself with stones.

Jesus arrived at the other side of the lake in the area of the Gadarenes. Two men controlled by demons met him. They came from the tombs. The men were so wild that no one could pass that way.

“ Bring the best of the first share of your crops to my house. I am the Lord your God.“ Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.

Don’t eat anything the Lord hates.

Then I said,“ No, Lord and King! I won’t do this! I’ve never eaten anything‘ unclean.’ From the time I was young until now, I’ve never eaten anything that was found dead. And I’ve never eaten anything torn apart by wild animals.‘ Unclean’ meat has never entered my mouth.”

“ Bring the best of the first share of your crops to the house of the Lord your God.“ Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”

If you find something that’s already dead, don’t eat it. You can give it to an outsider living in any of your towns. They may eat it. Or you can sell it to someone from another country. But you are a holy nation. The Lord your God has set you apart for himself. Don’t cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.

“ Suppose someone is out in the country. And suppose they touch someone who has been killed by a sword. Or they touch someone who has died a natural death. Or they touch a human bone or a grave. Then anyone who touches any of those things will be‘ unclean’ for seven days.“ Here is what I want you to do for someone who is‘ unclean.’ Put some ashes from the burned young cow into a jar. Pour fresh water on the ashes.Then a man who is‘ clean’ must dip branches of a hyssop plant in the water. He must sprinkle the tent with it. Everything that belongs to the tent must be sprinkled with it. The people in the tent must also be sprinkled. Anyone who has touched a human bone or a grave must be sprinkled. So must anyone who has touched someone who has been killed. And so must anyone who has touched someone who has died a natural death.The man who is‘ clean’ must sprinkle those who are‘ unclean.’ That must be done on the third and seventh days. On the seventh day those who are‘ unclean’ must be made pure and‘ clean.’ Those being made‘ clean’ must wash their clothes. They must take a bath. Then that evening they will be‘ clean.’But what if those who are‘ unclean’ do not make themselves pure and‘ clean?’ Then they must be separated from the community. They have made my holy tent‘ unclean.’ The special water has not been sprinkled on them. They are‘ unclean.’

Pigs aren’t“ clean” for you either. They have a divided hoof, but they don’t chew the cud. So don’t eat their meat. And don’t touch their dead bodies.

Don’t put a spell on anyone. Don’t get messages from those who have died. Don’t talk to the spirits of the dead. Don’t get advice from the dead.

When Jesus stepped on shore, he was met by a man from the town. The man was controlled by demons. For a long time he had not worn clothes or lived in a house. He lived in the tombs.

“ Anyone who touches a dead person’s body will be‘ unclean’ for seven days.
