BRAGADAYJAH 316
Lest it be questioned, why
was God so meticulous concerning what may be, may not be eaten, and what is
unclean and must not be touched, and if touched is unclean until cleansed, let
us remember that the Book of Leviticus the third book of Moses through which we
speak was all about the sanctification, (cleansing) of the people. For indeed
it is a maxim of Israelitish law that all flesh is deemed unclean.
So God stipulated that anyone
who touches an unclean thing or the dead body of an unclean thing shall be
unclean for a period of time usually until past evening of the day of the
incident.
In addition God said that if
any dead thing falls upon any vessel whether it be of wood or clothes, or skin,
or sack, or anything that a human person has to touch or use thereafter, such
thing shall be unclean, and must be put in water for the rest of the day until
past evening before it is cleansed. If the thing which touches the dead thing
is an earthen vessel, the thing to do was to break and dispose of it so that it
is not used again.
Upon all food that may be
eaten, that on which the dead thing falls shall be unclean; and if it falls on
an oven or pot they shall be unclean and be broken down or broken up as the
case may be and never used again.
“You shall not make yourself
abominable with any creeping thing or any unclean thing that you may not be
defiled,” said the Lord. “For I am the Lord who brought you out of the land of
Egypt to be your God; you shall hereafter be holy. More
