Today’s Reading

1/30/2019     Day 30   Leviticus 11:1 - 14:57

Reflection:

It is interesting what the Eternal in this section considers clean and
unclean or what you can eat or not-

Yes - animals with divided hoofs, cleft footed, and chews a cud;
Fish with scales & fins, locust, crickets, grasshopper,

No - camel, rock badger, pig, sea creatures that do not have scales or fins, birds - eagle, vulture, ostrich, nighthawk, sea gull, any hawk, owls,
Stork, heron, hoopee, bat, all other insects that are winged that have four legs, mice, weasels, geckos, lizards, chameleon, swarming
creatures.

Women after childbirth are unclean; skin eruptions; surface
afflictions, leprosy point to being unclean and excluded from the
community.

More information.  

Meditation/Contemplate:

Sanctify yourselves and be holy, for God is holy.

Prayer:

Thank you for the food you provide to us to eat. Have us remember
those that do not have food tonight. Be with them and help me to
solve the problem of homelessness and hunger in my land. Amen.
