Actual Commandments- Dietary Laws:
General
Leviticus 17:15 (ESV) And every person who eats what dies of itself or what is torn by beasts, whether he is a native or a sojourner, shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening; then he shall be clean. But if he does not wash them or bathe his flesh, he shall bear his iniquity.” Should you eat of something you did not kill or purchase from a butcher, you should do tevilah if possible, and at the very least clean up and wash your clothes. However consider: Deuteronomy 14:21a (ESV) “You shall not eat anything that has died naturally." In both verses “dies of itself” and “died naturally” are the same term: H5038 נְבֵלָה nebêlâh; a flabby thing, that is, a carcase or carrion; figuratively an idol: dead body, dead carcase, dead of itself, which died, that (which) dieth of itself. So the commandment is not to eat of something that died, but if you should for some reason wash your clothes, bath yourself and do tevilah.
Deuteronomy 12:15 (ESV) “However, you may slaughter and eat meat within any of your towns, as much as you desire, according to the blessing of the Lord your God that he has given you. The unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of the gazelle and as of the deer." Tamei and tahor (unclean and clean/profane and holy) persons may slaughter and eat outside the Temple, as these are not sacrifices. So may we today slaughter and eat.
Deuteronomy 12:20-21 (ESV) “When the Lord your God enlarges your territory, as he has promised you, and you say, ‘I will eat meat,’ because you crave meat, you may eat meat whenever you desire. If the place that the Lord your God will choose to put his name there is too far from you, then you may kill any of your herd or your flock, which the Lord has given you, as I have commanded you, and you may eat within your towns whenever you desire." As we have no Temple, there is no restriction on when and where we may eat meat.
Kosher and Treif Foods
Leviticus 11:2 (ESV) “Speak to the people of Israel, saying, These are the living things that you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth." We are to make the distinction between kosher and treif foods.
Leviticus 11:3 (ESV) Whatever parts the hoof and is cloven-footed and chews the cud, among the animals, you may eat. Kosher animals.
Leviticus 11:4-8 (ESV) Nevertheless, among those that chew the cud or part the hoof, you shall not eat these: The camel, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean to you. And the rock badger, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean to you. And the hare, because it chews the cud but does not part the hoof, is unclean to you. And the pig, because it parts the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. You shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you. Treif animals.
Leviticus 11:9 (ESV) “These you may eat, of all that are in the waters. Everything in the waters that has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers, you may eat. Kosher fish.
Leviticus 11:10-12 (ESV) But anything in the seas or the rivers that does not have fins and scales, of the swarming creatures in the waters and of the living creatures that are in the waters, is detestable to you. You shall regard them as detestable; you shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall detest their carcasses. Everything in the waters that does not have fins and scales is detestable to you. Treif fish. detestable- שֶׁקֶץ sheqets; filth, an idolatrous object- abomina-tion.
Leviticus 11:13-19 (ESV) “And these you shall detest among the birds; they shall not be eaten; they are detestable [an abomination]: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture, the kite, the falcon of any kind, every raven of any kind, the ostrich, the nighthawk, the sea gull, the hawk of any kind, the little owl, the cormorant, the short-eared owl, the barn owl, the tawny owl, the carrion vulture, the stork, the heron of any kind, the hoopoe, and the bat." Treif birds.
Leviticus 11:20,23 (ESV) “All winged insects that go on all fours are detestable [an abomination] to you. … But all other winged insects that have four feet (see 21-22) are detestable to you." Treif insects.
Leviticus 11:21-22 (ESV) Yet among the winged insects that go on all fours you may eat those that have jointed legs above their feet, with which to hop on the ground. Of them you may eat: the locust of any kind, the bald locust of any kind, the cricket of any kind, and the grasshopper of any kind. Kosher insects.
Leviticus 11:41-42 (ESV) “Every swarming thing that swarms on the ground is detestable; it shall not be eaten. Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, any swarming thing that swarms on the ground, you shall not eat, for they are detestable." Eat nothing that crawls or swarms on the ground.
Deuteronomy 14:3 (ESV) “You shall not eat any abomination [detestable thing].” Do not eat food sacrificed to idols, or food said to be as idolitrous [detestable]. abomination- תּוֹעֵבַה tô‛êbah; something morally disgusting, an abhorrence; especially idolatry, an abomination.
Deuteronomy 14:4a,6 (ESV) These are the animals you may eat: … Every animal that parts the hoof and has the hoof cloven in two and chews the cud, among the animals, you may eat. The animal must both part the hoof and chew the cud to be considered good for consumption.
Deuteronomy 14:9-10 (ESV) “Of all that are in the waters you may eat these: whatever has fins and scales you may eat. And whatever does not have fins and scales you shall not eat; it is unclean for you." Must have both fins and scales.
Deuteronomy 14:11 (ESV) “You may eat all clean birds.” Verses 12-18 lists those we should not eat, and we should be familiar with that list and abstain from eating: But these are the ones that you shall not eat: the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture, the kite, the falcon of any kind; every raven of any kind; the ostrich, the nighthawk, the sea gull, the hawk of any kind; the little owl and the short-eared owl, the barn owl and the tawny owl, the carrion vulture and the cormorant, the stork, the heron of any kind; the hoopoe and the bat.
Deuteronomy 14:19 (ESV) And all winged insects are unclean for you; they shall not be eaten.
Deuteronomy 14:21b (ESV) “You may give it (anything that has died naturally) to the sojourner who is within your towns, that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a people holy to the Lord your God." While we may give treif food to a Gentile, we do not eat of it ourselves.
Exodus 23:19b (ESV) “You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.” Deuteronomy 14:21c (ESV) “You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.” My JPS TNK commentary says of this statement: “The rabbinic assumption that no law in the Bible is redundant led to the postbiblical generalization that prohibited the consumption of meat and milk products together. On its own terms, the law seems to have had a more restricted application. It originally applied specifically to pilgrimage festival offerings (Exod 23.19; 34.26). … Philo viewed it as redirecting the mind away from the body. Maimonides viewed it as directed against idolatry. Some moderns have viewed the prohibition as directed against Canaanite religious rituals; others view it as concerned to prevent the abuse of animals.” All these have merit to us except the rabbinical interpretation. As Messianics we are not bound by the excessive rulings of the rabbonim of the late 2nd cen CE on. The practice of killing a newborn goat in front of its mother and boiling it in her milk was an extremely cruel one, and our God is not cruel. We are also prohibited from mixing pagan traditions with our worship of the One God. And all worship, all we do should redirect our minds to the things of our God.
Fat and Blood
Leviticus 7:23b-25 (NASB) … ‘You shall not eat any fat from an ox, a sheep or a goat. Also the fat of an animal which dies and the fat of an animal torn by beasts may be put to any other use, but you must certainly not eat it. For whoever eats the fat of the animal from which an offering by fire is offered to the Lord, even the person who eats shall be cut off from his people.' Fat may be put to other uses, but we may not eat it.
Leviticus 3:17 (NASB) "It is a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings: you shall not eat any fat or any blood.” We are to drain the blood and trim the fat off our meat. Contextually however this does not apply to residual fat or blood. Previous verses talk of fat trimmed from the outside of the meat and organs. The blood was taken there at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting where it was killed. No mention of kashering.
Genesis 9:4 (ESV) But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. Don’t eat blood.
Leviticus 7:26-27 (NASB) "You are not to eat any blood, either of bird or animal, in any of your dwellings. Any person who eats any blood, even that person shall be cut off from his people.” We are not to eat any blood. Carcasses should be well drained, and the blood not drunk nor any food dishes made from it.
Leviticus 17:10-12 (ESV) “If any one of the house of Israel or of the strangers who sojourn among them eats any blood, I will set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from among his people. For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life.Therefore I have said to the people of Israel, No person among you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger who sojourns among you eat blood." We are not to eat blood.
Leviticus 19:26a (ESV) “You shall not eat any flesh with the blood in it.” Meat should be well drained.
Leviticus 17:13-14 (ESV) “Any one also of the people of Israel, or of the strangers who sojourn among them, who takes in hunting any beast or bird that may be eaten shall pour out its blood and cover it with earth. For the life of every creature is its blood: its blood is its life. Therefore I have said to the people of Israel, You shall not eat the blood of any creature, for the life of every creature is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off. When slaughtering an animal in the field, it must be properly bled and the blood covered.
Deuteronomy 12:16, 23 (ESV) Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the earth like water. … Only be sure that you do not eat the blood, for the blood is the life, and you shall not eat the life with the flesh. Do not eat blood. Repeated several times, HaShem is serious about this.
