These are the birds you are to regard as unclean and not eat...the hoopoe and the bat

 Leviticus  11:1-23

The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,  “Say to the Israelites: ‘Of all the animals that live on land, these are the ones you may eat: You may eat any animal that has a divided hoof and that chews the cud.

The camel, hyrax, rabbit, and pig are unclean for you. You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.

Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams you may eat any that have fins and scales.

These are the birds you are to regard as unclean and not eat because they are unclean: the eagle,[a] the vulture, the black vulture, the red kite, any kind of black kite, any kind of raven, the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk, the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl, the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey, the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe and the bat.

All flying insects that walk on all fours are to be regarded as unclean by you.

Of these, you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket or grasshopper. But all other flying insects that have four legs you are to regard as unclean.

The rules for the nation's diet are clearly framed: borderline cases are excluded. Israel may eat: 

1)Animal which chews the cud and has cloven hoofs.

2)Sea creature with both fins and scales.

3)Birds not listed as forbidden.

4)Insects belonging to four classes of the locust family.

Amongst those banned are: Port, Vermin and predatory birds, Vermin and predatory birds, Shellfish(these are still a common cause of food-poisoning and enteritis.)

Why?

All of the unclean animals or birds or fish or insects may cause sickness to human beings.

Such as the bar is forbidden, but human beings still eat it and caused COVID-19 to spread the whole world and make a few million people dead.

These unclean animals or insects eat unclean food and carry viruses or other bacterial.

All these unclean animals or insects are necessary to keep this world clean and safe. Garbage needs these to clean.

-------- （11-22章）第二段聖潔的國度：神的子民也要聖潔，要分別為聖，道德上，生活上、思想、價值觀、人生觀和其他人不一樣。

食物是生活中最明顯的。先從健康、衛生的理由來解釋。

可食：分蹄、倒嚼的動物：分蹄，抓地力強，可以在不同地面都可以行走，意表，可以走不同的人生路，腿比較弱，速度慢，肌肉不堅硬，容易煮熟。馬沒有分蹄，所以跑的快！意表屬天的路沒有速成的，必須一步步的走。每天一點一滴的經歷神。

反芻的動物吃的慢，消化完全。吃的快的動物，消化不好，甚至自己的糞便也吃，如豬。屬靈上，不能什麼都吸收，吃的快，消化不完全，聽神的話，許多話無法好好思想沒有吸收。

魚類或是水生動物：麟，與水隔離，其他的直接由皮膚吸收，沒有經過腸胃吸收。有翅有麟的。

吃腐敗、變質食物，不符合屬靈的含意。我們不能吸收變質的東西。

有翅要飛翔，是屬天的，有翼卻在地上，像是我們屬天卻只想在地上。用跳的，離地較遠。明明是屬天的，為什麼還願意留在地方，屬地。信主就沒有意義了。

分別為聖，就必須放棄自己的喜好，即使親人過世，有些事我們也必須放棄。
