Take a look at the Torah Portion reading!

One of the primary laws of human life is that you become like what you worship… -N.T. Wright

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.
Leviticus 11:10-11

Don't eat shellfish, cetaceans, sharks, catfish, or cephalopods. God wants us to see them as detestable. He wants us to look at them and say "Eww! No way!"

There are a couple of words translated as "detestable" and "abominable" in the Old Testament. The word used to describe unclean animals that people shouldn't eat means exactly what it seems to mean in this verse: it's disgusting. That's God's opinion, not mine.

He 5

Wherefore not afraid were you to speak Hebrew original language Scripture from Numbers 12
"Wherefore not afraid were you to speak against my servant, against Moses?"
מַדּוּעַ לֹא יְרֵאתֶם לְדַבֵּר בְּעַבְדִּי בְמֹשֶׁה

Any Torah follower Midwives in MN? Hopefully near the twin cities. My Husband and I are looking for one that will take us that will not require us to do any sort of blood work, or testing. We are due in September and we are having a hard time finding a midwife.

You shall not eat any of their flesh [of unclean animals], and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.
Leviticus 11:8

Rashi believed that this command only applies to the priests, but the plain meaning of the text says otherwise. On the other hand, I think that "don't touch their carcasses" is an emphatic repetition of "don't eat them". In other words, "Don't eat them and don't even think about eating them." It's not a prohibition against burying your pet dog. In any case, it's an easy command to keep. If you need to dispose of the body of an unclean animal, use gloves and a shovel.
