Lev 11:10 | MHM | STEP | v. 10-12 : The Israelites were told that unclean fish and water animals should be an “abomination” to them (Leviticus 11:10-12 ). This means they were to treat them as totally off-limits, not just for eating, but to keep away from them as much as possible. These rules were only for the Jewish people and not for other nations or for Christians today. Christians are called to a life of self-denial and holiness, which is a spiritual version of these food rules.
