“‘ So you must be able to tell the difference between animals that are“ clean” and those that are not. You must know which birds are“ clean” and which are not. Do not make yourselves“ unclean” by eating any“ unclean” animal or bird. Do not make yourselves“ unclean” by eating anything that moves along the ground. I have set all of them apart as“ unclean” for you.

所以，你们要把洁净和不洁净的禽兽分别出来；不可因我给你们分为不洁净的禽兽，或是滋生在地上的活物，使自己成为可憎恶的。

你们要分辨洁净和不洁净的飞禽走兽；不可因我定为不洁净的飞禽走兽，或爬行在土地上的任何生物，使自己成为可憎恶的。

你们要分辨洁净和不洁净的飞禽走兽；不可因我定为不洁净的飞禽走兽，或爬行在土地上的任何生物，使自己成为可憎恶的。

所以你们要把洁净的和不洁净的走兽，洁净的和不洁净的飞禽分别出来；你们不可因着那些我为你们分别出来，不洁净的走兽、飞禽，或任何在地上爬行的动物，使自己成为可憎恶的。

所以，你們要把潔淨和不潔淨的禽獸分別出來；不可因我給你們分為不潔淨的禽獸，或是滋生在地上的活物，使自己成為可憎惡的。

所以，你們要區分潔淨和不潔淨的獸類與鳥類。不可吃那些我視為不潔淨的飛禽、走獸和爬蟲，以免玷污自己。

所以你們要把潔淨的和不潔淨的走獸，潔淨的和不潔淨的飛禽分別出來；你們不可因著那些我為你們分別出來，不潔淨的走獸、飛禽，或任何在地上爬行的動物，使自己成為可憎惡的。

所以你們要把潔淨的和不潔淨的獸、不潔淨的和潔淨的禽鳥、分別清楚；或是獸或是禽鳥、或是一切爬在地上的，我所給你們分別為不潔淨的，你們都不可因這些活物而自成為可憎。

故當區別禽獸之潔與不潔、勿因我所區別為污之禽獸、匍匐於地之昆蟲、致己為可憎、

故當區別潔與不潔之禽獸、凡我所示為不潔之禽獸、運行於地之昆蟲、爾勿捫之、致為可憎、

故當區別獸之潔與不潔、禽之潔與不潔、我所命爾當視為不潔之禽獸、與運行於地之昆蟲、爾毋因之使己為可憎、

“‘ You must therefore make a distinction between clean and unclean animals and between unclean and clean birds. Do not defile yourselves by any animal or bird or anything that moves along the ground— those that I have set apart as unclean for you.

You shall therefore separate the clean beast from the unclean, and the unclean bird from the clean. You shall not make yourselves detestable by beast or by bird or by anything with which the ground crawls, which I have set apart for you to hold unclean.

“ You must therefore make a distinction between ceremonially clean and unclean animals, and between clean and unclean birds. You must not defile yourselves by eating any unclean animal or bird or creature that scurries along the ground. I have identified them as being unclean for you.

Therefore you are to distinguish the clean animal from the unclean one, and the unclean bird from the clean one. Do not become contaminated by any land animal, bird, or whatever crawls on the ground; I have set these apart as unclean for you.

The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron. He said to them,“ Speak to the Israelites. Tell them,‘ Many animals live on land. Here are the only ones you can eat.You can eat any animal that has hooves that are separated completely in two. But it must also chew the cud.“‘ Some animals only chew the cud.

If you touch their dead bodies, you will be“ unclean” until evening.If a person picks up one of their dead bodies, that person must wash their clothes. They will be“ unclean” until evening.“‘ Suppose an animal has hooves that are not separated completely in two. Or suppose an animal does not chew the cud. Then these animals are“ unclean” for you. If you touch the dead body of any of them, you will be“ unclean.”Many animals walk on all fours. But those that walk on their paws are“ unclean” for you.

After that, it will be“ clean.”Suppose one of these animals falls into a clay pot. Then everything in the pot will be“ unclean.” You must break the pot.Any food that could be eaten but has water on it that came from that pot is“ unclean.” And any liquid that could be drunk from it is“ unclean.”Anything that the dead body of one of these animals falls on becomes“ unclean.” If it is an oven or cooking pot, break it. It is“ unclean.” And you must consider it“ unclean.”But a spring or a well for collecting water remains“ clean.” That is true even if the dead body of one of these animals falls into it. But anyone who touches the dead body is not“ clean.”If the dead body falls on any seeds that have not been planted yet, the seeds remain“ clean.”But suppose water has already been put on the seeds. And suppose the dead body falls on them. Then they are“ unclean” for you.“‘ Suppose an animal you are allowed to eat dies. If anyone touches its dead body, they will be“ unclean” until evening.If they eat part of the dead body, they must wash their clothes. They will be“ unclean” until evening. If they pick up the dead body, they must wash their clothes. They will be“ unclean” until evening.“‘ Treat as“ unclean” every creature that moves along the ground.

He said to them,“ You know that it is against our law for a Jew to enter a Gentile home. A Jew shouldn’t have any close contact with a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not say anyone is not pure and‘ clean.’

So don’t go along with people like that.At one time you were in the dark. But now you are in the light because of what the Lord has done. Live like children of the light.The light produces what is completely good, right and true.Find out what pleases the Lord.Have nothing to do with the acts of darkness. They don’t produce anything good. Show what they are really like.

He saw heaven open up. There he saw something that looked like a large sheet. It was being let down to earth by its four corners.It had all kinds of four- footed animals in it.

I will not!” Peter replied.“ I have never eaten anything that is not pure and‘ clean.’ ”The voice spoke to him a second time. It said,“ Do not say anything is not pure that God has made‘ clean.’ ”
