The Dietary law

All the scriptures speak of Christ

Lu 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

Joh 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

These are curious sayings from Jesus that don't get much attention. Jesus tells us that all the scriptures speak of him. How are we to understand his saying?

Some suggest that Jesus meant that individual prophecies foretell of Christ. Depending who is counting, they may get over 300 of them.

Others look to thematic patterns, positive an negative, and suggest this is what Jesus meant. ^[1]

But do either of those encompass 'all' the scriptures? Probably not. We must learn the tools of interpretation that Jesus and the apostles used if we are to understand the scriptures as they did. We soon find out that indeed, all the scriptures speak of Christ in great detail in the genre of prophetic riddle which uses, history, dialog, poetry, prophecy and embeds a second meaning just under the surface of the other forms.

As a little child

Mr 10:15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. What happens if we forget all of our sophisticated training in the Bible and approach it as a little Hebrew child?

Let's forget that men wrote the Bible in a far away land in a strange culture and believe that God wrote it for us.

Let's forget all the supposed contradictions, scientific errors, and believe it is true.

Let's forget that we can't trust the Bible because parts are oral tradition, or lost, or added, and trust that what we have is what God wants us to have.

Let's forget that they are just fables, or exaggerations, or stories invented after the fact to strengthen the religious hold on a gullible people, and believe that God does not lie. ^[2]

Let's listen to God in his word as he says the same thing over and over in different ways, like a parent teaching a child. Let's believe that every stroke is so important that God will not let a single one pass away. ^[3]

Let's hear and consider each word as a child does. He searches for the cat in 'catastrophe' and the dog in 'dogmatic'. Though that makes no sense in English, it makes perfect sense in Hebrew. We observe Adam אדמ in the ground adamah אדם-ה . We see that Adam אדם is made of blood dam דם and spirit א. And most surprisingly, we see that the blood dam דם hints at the cross meaning: the commandment ד fulfilled by the son ם.

It may seem far-fetched that a single letter, as seen in Adam, can mean many words, but we have words in English that are acronyms that lost the periods. There was an early e-mail application called ElM; Electronic Mail. it was replaced by an application called PINE meaning; Pine Is Not Elm. And we use 'Radar' which is 'RAdio Detection and Ranging'

In Hebrew the letters are not acronyms (at least I have not observed that phenomenon yet) but metaphor which are used consistently as words derive their meaning from the combination of the letters. Rather than go through tedious proofs for this, we will observe it incidentally as a child might sometimes 'get it' and sometimes not.

The shadow of the law

Heb 10:1 ¶ For the law 'having a shadow of good things to come, [and] not the very image of the things...

Everyone knows what a shadow is. Paul uses the word very intentionally. Light represents the holiness of God. The light shines on the law revealing that God alone is God, and his justice is divinely correct. As light shines on a thing, the thing casts a darkened shadow. This darkness is seen as the love of God covering us with grace, or from our perspective, we are in sin and not being destroyed; this is his grace.

Paul is telling us that though the law reveals God's holiness, there is a hidden revelation of his grace within it. The message of grace is attached to the law. It is not the law. It accompanies it.

The law says: Don't murder ^[4]. But Christ fulfills the law by killing without violating the law. He said he laid down his own life. Don't think the fact that the Jewish leaders railroaded him, or the Romans nailing him to the cross were the cause of his death. He GAVE his life for us. ^[5]

The law says: Don't steal. But Paul and Peter, speaking of the shadow of the law said that he would come as a thief in the night. ^{[6] [7]}

In writing to the Hebrew (above), Paul says that the law has a shadow of the good things coming. At the time of the law, the cross had not yet happened. Paul is speaking of a past time of things future to that past time, which has now come to pass in Christ. So the shadow speaks of the grace of God through the cross.

Dinner theater analogy

It is not just being clever to call the dietary law 'dinner theater'. Here we have small theaters where you can see a play while you eat your dinner as if at a restaurant. The play is both entertaining (hopefully) but usually has a message from the playwright. Sometimes the messages are political or moral.

The dietary law was given to Israel as a script for a dinner theater to be performed by them for the audience of the rest of the world. They would follow the law, and the rest of the world would observe them doing so. Neither group could understand the message until it was revealed through Christ.

The revelation through Christ was not immediate, nor was it what we would consider miraculous. They had been taught the revelation while they lived with Jesus before the cross. They did not understand it, nor remember it, so they were distraught when Jesus died, rather than being joyful and anticipating his resurrection. Finally Jesus had to send the Holy Spirit to remind them of his teaching. ^[8]

They then studied the scriptures, remembering what Jesus taught them. When Mark wrote his book, they thought the beginning started with the teaching of John the Baptist. A decade or so later Matthew captured the teaching which had matured with time, and they then understood that the beginning started with Abraham. They had learned to see Christ in the history of Israel. When Luke wrote, the beginning had been pushed back to Adam as they now saw Christ in the story of the Garden and the flood.

John was the last to write. By that time he had learned that the very strokes of the Hebrew alphabet spoke of Christ. He uses these meaning to derive the teaching of 1Jo 5:7,8. ^[9] He used Hebrew word play to derive the doctrine of John 1:1-4.

From the tools the New Testament authors teach us, we too can read the hidden message of the dinner theater in the dietary law, as well as the rest of scripture.

Eating as a metaphor

Eating is a metaphor for learning. Eating as a metaphor for learning (or knowing) is replete in scripture.

Psalm 23:8 reads:"O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him" (KJV).

And Proverbs 30:8 reads: "Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me" (KJV).

We know eating is a metaphor for learning because the Apostle Paul uses eating as metaphor for learning when he says to the Corinthians: "And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able" (1 Corinthians 1-2, KJV). And again in the book of Hebrews declaring: "For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe” (5:12-13, KJV).

Now consider that the author is God. When he uses a symbol, it is the same everywhere. So every instance of eating is a metaphor for learning. Many teachers will tell you this is impossible. Now who are you going to believe?

There are some pictures that look like a bunch of random dots, but if you cross your eyes just right, you can see a picture pop out in three dimensions. Now who are you going to believe? The one who says there is nothing there, or the one who can teach you to see it?

Heb 11:6 But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

We will have to learn to think in metaphor. It is more difficult for Westerners than those in the east, but we can learn to do it. Try to define a chair. It has four legs... well not all, and horses have four legs as well but are not chairs. Something you sit on... but you can sit on your hands, or a horse or a wall. Though we cannot define a chair, we all know what one is. If an artist gets really clever, he may invent one we don't recognize, but artists are not normal people Sorry... joke>.

Eating is a metaphor for learning in many languages. Ruminating is a kind of learning where you meditate on what you learned. We will speak of primary and secondary metaphor later.

Naming of the animals

Ge 2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] the name thereof.

Adam records that God brought all the animals to him to name. ^[10]

Archeologist found clay tablets which suggest that the phrase "these are the generations of" is actually an author's signature on a clay tablet. The first instance of this after Adam naming the animals is here:

Ge 5:1 ¶ This [is] the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;

This suggests that Adam recorded the event. ^[11] It is exciting to consider that Genesis was written by eyewitnesses to the events rather than being generated by oral tradition and not recorded until Moses. The tablets would have been passed from father to son, surviving the flood, and the scrambling of languages at Babel, all the way to Jacob who carried them into Egypt and handed them to Joseph. Joseph would have put them in the great library of Pharaoh, where they got transcribed onto papyrus.. retaining the signature lines of the authors as the tablets were copied end to end. Later Moses, raised in Pharaoh's home would have had access to them, and likely carried a papyrus copy to the desert with him.

Adam records that he named the animals. What can we learn from this? Adam had language, it was Hebrew. God spoke to Adam in Hebrew. The words in Hebrew had meaning. He called them by their 'reputation'. In Hebrew 'reputation' and 'name' are the same word. Being called a Christian does not make you one unless you also have the reputation of Christ. Adam called them by their reputations. This took more than a day to observe them and come up with a name. Fortunately he was likely in a state of timelessness. Oh I know there were 6 days of creation and one of rest. But read Genesis 2:4 carefully.

Ge 2:4 ¶ These [are] the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

God created the heavens and the earth in a day and all seven days were in one day. This is only possible if there was not time.

Adam observed the darting fish and called him dag דג which is 'commanded ד to pursue ג. He observed the massive sides of an ox and called him showr שׁור which also means 'wall' ^[12]

Being able to interpret the names of the animals is just one proof of the metaphoric meaning assigned to the letters. ^[13]

The dietary Law --- in progress

As we study the dietary law, we will use all the tools that the New Testament authors have taught us and the names of the animals that Adam gave them, since they represent the reputation of those animals.

The dietary law is not about eating. There are parts which concern rules for uncleaness. The teaching about the things which are unclean for eating are telling us who we should, and should not learn from. There is a section about maintaining your own testimony and suffering pure. The hidden teachings will be familiar to us from the revealed teaching in the New Testament. All of the doctrine in the New Testament has Old Testament sources.

Le 11:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These [are] the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that [are] on the earth.

1. If you are not a child of Israel, the literal law does not apply to you. But if you are a spiritual child of Israel, then the spiritual meaning applies to you.

Israel Yisra’el ישׂראל - man יש joined by revelation ר to God אל . If you are spiritual Israel; joined to God by revelation, then you recognize 'eating' as a metaphor for 'learning'. This is the source for Paul's teaching that the wife (church) shall learn from her husband (Christ) ^[14]

2. If you are a child of Israel, you are commanded to eat these animals. There is no option. You cannot be a vegetarian. All arguments about pre-flood vegetarianism end here. But since there is no penalty for being a vegetarian, the command to eat these animals is an invitation to participate in the play. If you don't eat them, you are not one of the actors. For the spiritual child of Israel, the hidden teaching does apply.

On the hoof

Le 11:3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, [and] cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.

parteth perac פרס - divide in two ^[15] Separation is a metaphor for 'Holy'.

clovenfooted shaca‘ שׁסע - split ^[16]

cheweth ‘alah עלה - ascend, burnt offering ^[17]

cud garah גרה - contend, strive ^[18]

chewing the cud or 'ruminating' is a metaphor for meditating on the things you are (learned).

The animal is clean animal because it is a picture of Christ.

By way of allegory: he had a holy walk/life because he meditated on the Word of God.

By way of exegesis: He had a holy life because he strove to be totally devoted (symbolized by the burnt offering hidden in 'chewed the cud').

The teaching of the dinner theater is that you should learn from those people whose lives are changed through study of the Bible.

Le 11:4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: [as] the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean unto you.

camel gamal גמל - wean, recompense. The metaphor of the camel representing a judge comes from the word 'recompense'. ^[19] The judge can give you a reward, or a penalty, if you deserve it. The camel is unclean by the rules of the law. It does not have a Holy walk. This is a riddle:

Those who judge will be judged. ^[20]

The judge must die as a symbol of judgement ending. Likewise the prophet dies in symbol meaning all prophecy is fulfilled.^[21]

Lesson: We should not learn from those who judge other people.

Le 11:5 And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean unto you.

coney shaphan שׁפן - hide the treasure^[22] The coney is unclean because he does not let his light shine. ^[23]

He is also unclean because he also is a metaphor for a judge:

coney shaphan שׁפן - the mystery פ of the biting teeth שן . The mouth speaks the word of God, the teeth are biting, they are the law within the word.

Lesson: We should not learn from those who hide the treasured gospel of grace and instead only preach the condemnation of the law.

Le 11:6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean unto you.

The hare is called out by the rules, but it also had hidden meanings.

hare ‘arnebeth ארנבת - house בת of divided א jubilation רנ. If you celebrate good and bad things, it is a sign of poor judgement.

NOTE: Skeptics love to point out that rabbits do not technically chew the cud. They actually pass their food through a second time by eating their night droppings; they re-ingest. But the Bible does not say they chew the cud, but that they chew the gerah גרה which means 'pursue ג the revelation ר which was not understood ה'. The word means to pass through again to get more out of it, not to regurgitate. Some chew the gerah by regurgitation and some by re-ingestion.

Lesson: Do not learn from people who use every excuse to party.

Le 11:7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he [is] unclean to you.

The swine is called out for the opposite reason as the animals above: though it has a divided hoof it does not chew the cud. The metaphor is that it does not meditate on the word. In fact, the proverb makes it more clear by associating a pig with a gold jewel in it's snout with a woman without judgement ^[24]. The pig will eat anything, and the woman will learn anything.

swine chaziyr חזיר - perceive חז a new י revelation ר. When God said that Adm had become like one of them to know good and evil ^[25], the word for 'to know' is yada‘ ידע , which also means 'to declare' ^[26]. By declaring good and evil for himself; the same as we do when we take decisions without conferring with God, he has usurped God's position as the one who defines good and evil. He has become a swine; hearing his own new revelation.

know yada‘ ידע - the hand/works יד of the flesh ע .

Lesson: Do not learn from those who have no discernment of good and bad teaching, and who think they are OK by their own standard.

Le 11:8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they [are] unclean to you.

carcasse nᵉbelah נבלה - folly ^[27]

touch naga‘ נגע - joined, plagued ^[28]

Lesson: Do not learn from their flesh, and don't be joined to or plagued by their folly.

Fish

Water is a metaphor for the Word of God.

Le 11:9 ¶ These shall ye eat of all that [are] in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.

fins cᵉnappiyr סנפיר - 'horned, thorned סנ bull פיר . The fish moved through the water by it's fins. It lives in the word. What propels it? The bull, the sacrifice of Christ as the burnt offering, which was caught by it's horns in the thorns. Since he thorns represent the 'cares of the world' ^[29], the thorned bull represents the love of God toward us. ^[30] The clean fish lives in the world by the love of God.

scales qasqeseth קשׂקשׂת - mail (as in armour) ^[31]. The one who lives in the word wears the full armor of God. ^[32] Paul's source for his doctrine came from the dietary law.

Waters, seas, and rivers: When you have three things, without even looking deeper you can say 'of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost'. Since water is the word, these then are the word from the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

Lesson: Learn from those who live in the word of God; motivated by the sacrifice of Christ and who use the scripture to resist sin.

Le 11:10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which [is] in the waters, they [shall be] an abomination [detestable] unto you: Le 11:11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination. Le 11:12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that [shall be] an abomination unto you.

You can figure this one out. Even if people are in the word, but are not living by his love or wearing his armour, their teaching is detestable. This is a similar teaching to those land animals who chew the cud, but do not have a holy walk.

Birds

The air is a metaphor for the Spirit.

Le 11:13 And these [are they which] ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they [are] an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, Le 11:14 And the vulture, and the kite after his kind; Le 11:15 Every raven after his kind; Le 11:16 And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, Le 11:17 And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, Le 11:18 And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, Le 11:19 And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

fowls ‘owph עוף - fly ^[33].

Skeptic love to point out that bats are not fowl. But the scripture does not say they are. It says they are 'flying things'.

eagle nesher נשׁר - forget נש the revelation ר.

ossifrage perec פרס - divide ^[34], pure ^[35]. It is a symbol of tearing apart the pure.

ospray ‘ozniyah עזניה - the goat עז hears זנ God's will י and doesn't understand ה. The goat represents the flesh. ^[36]

vulture da’ah דאה - cause to wander אד in ignorance ה.

kite ‘ayah איה - rhetorical 'Where?' ^[37] One who doubts?

raven ‘oreb ערב - mix ^[38] Mixing is a metaphor for improperly representing holiness and love together. We confuse them. Only Christ on the cross perfectly represents the nature of the Father.

owl bath ya‘anah בת יענה - daughter בת of why יענ . This is a difficult riddle. The rhetorical why is an indication of an unwillingness to obey. Perhaps this has the sense of that.

night hawk tachmac תחמס - imperative ת of violence חמס

cuckow shachaph שׁחף - emaciate, waste away ^[39]

hawk nets נץ - the son of man נ killed on the cross ץ

little owl kowc כוס - cup ^[40] Grapes are pressed into the cup as a symbol of the tribulation of Christ.

cormorant shalak שׁלך - cast out ^[41]

great owl yanshuwph ינשׁוף - I י in the dark נשׁוף. The one who is in the dark is sinning and presuming upon the grace of God.

swan tanshemeth תנשׁמת - from beginning to end תת it destroys נשׁמ ^[42]

pelican qa’ath קאת - vomit קא after ת.

gier eagle haracham הרחם - not understanding ה love רחם.

stork chaciydah החסידה - not understanding ה*ה holiness , mercy חסיד ^[43]

heron ‘anaphah אנפה - anger ^[44] of her ה.

lapwing duwkiyphath דוכיפת - beat דוכ ^[45] the mystery פ plan י which was finished ם. <not a good dynamic equivalent>

bat ‘atalleph עטלף - turn aside עטף from the teaching ל.

Flying things on all fours

Observe the play between the flesh (earth) and spirit (air).

Le 11:20 ¶ All fowls that creep [swarm], going upon [all] four, [shall be] an abomination unto you.

When the hands (works) and feet (life) are in the flesh, it is an abomination. The emphasis here is on swarming or reproducing quickly. God desires children of the spirit, not the flesh.

Le 11:21 Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon [all] four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;

Though works and life are in the flesh, the leaping into the air shows a desire for the Spirit.

Le 11:22 [Even] these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.

locust ‘arbeh ארבה - light אר house בת.

bald locust col‘am סלעם - rock סלע completed the promise of the Father ם.

beetle chargol חרגל - fear חרג ended by teaching ל.

grasshopper chagab חגב - life ח though the pit [grave] גב.

Le 11:23 But all [other] flying creeping things, which have four feet, [shall be] an abomination unto you. Le 11:24 And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even. Le 11:25 And whosoever beareth [ought] of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

even ‘ereb ערב - mix ^[46] The evening is the symbol of mixing of grace and judgement. the sins of man are covered by the works of the Son. Only the Son can mix them.

Le 11:24 And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.

even ‘arab ערב - exchange ^[47]

Who ever works their folly will be unclean until the exchange ^[48]

Le 11:25 And whosoever beareth [ought] of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. Le 11:26 [The carcases] of every beast which divideth the hoof, and [is] not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, [are] unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean. Le 11:27 And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on [all] four, those [are] unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even. Le 11:28 And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they [are] unclean unto you.

beareth nasa’ נשׂא - exalts ^[49]

Whoever exalts the folly of them shall tread his works with the word and be unclean until the mixing.

Creeping things

Le 11:29 These also [shall be] unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind,

creeping things... on the earth sharats שׁרץ - increase abundantly [in the flesh] ^[50]

weasel choled חלד - age, world, time ^[51] Understanding ח the teaching ל of the word ד of this age חלד.

mouse ‘akbar עכבר - flesh ע made to abound כבר ^[52]

tortoise? tsab צב - covered ^[53] righteousness צ revealed to man ב. The one shields himself from the righteousness of God is actively resisting God.

Le 11:30 And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole. Le 11:31 These [are] unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.

ferret ‘anaqah אנקה - groaning ^[54]

chameleon koach כח - might, force ^[55]

lizard לטאה ' 03911 - myrrh [death] of yearning אה [separated א hearing ה].

snail chomet חמט - life ח [separated] from מ the doctrine [marriage] ט.

mole tanshemeth תנשׁמת - final ת breath נשׁמת ^[56] or the desolate ones ^[57]

Le 11:32 And upon whatsoever [any] of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether [it be] any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel [it be], wherein [any] work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed.

vessel kᵉliy כלי - Son of God's כ teaching ל of new creation י

wood ‘ets עץ - tree ^[58] a metaphor for the cross.

If the uncleanness falls on the teaching of the Gospel, the teaching of the Gospel is unclean.

raiment beged בגד - treachery ^[59] [works of the flesh]

skin ‘owr עור - blindness ^[60]. This is also a pun to 'light' ‘owr אור which is a metaphor for holiness. God gave Adam a covering of skin, which is something like his holiness [declared him to be holy], while at the same time declaring Adam to be blind and perhaps indicating his own blindness to Adam's sin. If the transaction of Christ being made to be sin while we are made the righteousness of God is polluted, the whole message is polluted.

sack saq שׂק - legs ^[61][metaphor for your 'walk' or 'life']

All these are cleansed by the word (water).

Le 11:33 And every earthen vessel, whereinto [any] of them falleth, whatsoever [is] in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.

earthen cheres חרשׂ - silent ^[62]

break shabar שׁבר - hope ^[63]

If a person sins secretly, the silence should be broken in order to give hope.

Le 11:34 Of all meat which may be eaten, [that] on which [such] water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every [such] vessel shall be unclean.

Everything taught by such a one is unclean.

Le 11:35 And every [thing] whereupon [any part] of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; [whether it be] oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: [for] they [are] unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.

oven tannuwr תנור - final ת lamp נור. Last testimony.

ranges kiyr כיר - pierce ^[64] [sufferings]

If your testimony or sufferings are tainted they remain unclean.

Le 11:36 Nevertheless a fountain or pit, [wherein there is] plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.

Where there is much teaching it covers folly.

Le 11:37 And if [any part] of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it [shall be] clean.

sowing zeruwa‘ זרוע - forearm ^[65] a metaphor for works.

seed - Christ is the 'seed' of the woman.

Christ bore our sin, no additional unlcean thing can add to his shame. When he rose from the dead, sin had been conquered.

Le 11:38 But if [any] water be put upon the seed, and [any part] of their carcase fall thereon, it [shall be] unclean unto you.

If there is teaching of Christ which is polluted, it is polluted.

Le 11:39 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.

beast he-bᵉhemah הבהמה - completely not understanding ה_ה in ב the spirit המ (hot).

Don't do the works of those who don't understand being in the spirit.

Le 11:40 And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

He who learns from their folly shall correct his works and remain unclean until he receives grace. He that glorifies the folly shall do the same.

Le 11:41 And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth [shall be] an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

Those who multiply in the flesh abundantly shall not be learned from.

Le 11:42 Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon [all] four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they [are] an abomination.

belly gachown גחון - pursue ג understanding ח separate ו from the cross ן.

goeth halak הלך - pays tribute (bribes God) ^[66]

on all four: the one whose life and works are of the earth. God told Cain: If you do right, won't you be lifted up? Even if our lives are still in the flesh, our works should be striving to 'do right'.

more feet - a multiplicity of lives, hypocrisy.

Don't learn from those who rationalize things apart from the cross, who try to work their way to God, or are hypocrites.

Le 11:43 ¶ Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.

abominable shaqats שׁקץ - idol ^[67]. In all of these the one is making himself equal to God by deciding his own path.

Le 11:44 For I [am] the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I [am] holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Le 11:45 For I [am] the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I [am] holy.

Le 11:46 This [is] the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:

Le 11:47 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
