(Part 2)
 THE TORAH AND FOOD
THE TORAH SPECIFIES:
THERE ARE CLEAN AND UNCLEAN BEASTS
 Genesis 7:1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come you and all your house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
Genesis 7:2 Of every clean beast you shall take to you by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
THE TORAH SPECIFIES:
THERE ARE CLEAN AND UNCLEAN BEASTS
 Leviticus 11:46 This is the Torah of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps upon the earth:
Leviticus 11:47 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
BIBLICAL FOOD IS WHAT THE TORAH PERMITS TO BE EATEN
 Deuteronomy 14:6 And every beast that parts the hoof and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and chews the cud among the beasts, that you shall eat.
BIBLICAL FOOD IS WHAT THE TORAH PERMITS TO BE EATEN

Leviticus 11:42 Whatsoever goes upon the belly and whatsoever goes upon all four or whatsoever has more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them you shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
IT IS FORBIDDEN BY TORAH
TO EAT UNCLEAN THINGS
Leviticus 11:13 And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls …
Leviticus 11:14 And the vulture …
THE TORAH COMMANDS A DIFFERENCE BE MADE BETWEEN CLEAN AND UNCLEAN
 Leviticus 20:25 Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast or by fowl or by any manner of living thing that creeps on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.
THE TORAH DETERMINES
WHAT IS CLEAN AND WHAT IS UNCLEAN
Ezekiel 22:26 Her priests have violated my Torah <08451> and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shown difference between the unclean and the clean …
YHVH’S PRIESTS ARE TO TEACH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLEAN AND UNCLEAN
Ezekiel 44:15 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok … they shall come near to me to minister unto me …
Ezekiel 44:23 And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

Matthew 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
THE PHARISEES
ASK A QUESTION ABOUT ORAL LAW
Matthew 15:1 Then came to Yeshua scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying
Matthew 15:2 Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders (Oral Law)? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
THE ANCIENT PHARISEES BECAME RABBINIC JUDAISM
                    Source: Wikipedia Encyclopedia
The Pharisees (from the Hebrew perushim, from parash, meaning "to separate") were depending on the time, a political party, a social movement, and a school of thought among Jews that flourished during the Second Temple Era (536 BCE – 70 CE). After the destruction of the Second Temple, Pharisaic Judaism came to be known as Rabbinic Judaism and then simply as Judaism. The Pharisees were an ancient sect of Judaism. They existed during the time of rabbis Hillel the Elder and Shammai and during the time of Jesus. They are the direct predecessor to what eventually became known as Rabbinic Judaism.
THE ANCIENT PHARISEES BECAME RABBINIC JUDAISM
                       Source: Wikipedia Encyclopedia
In contrast to other Jewish groups of the time, such as Sadducees, Pharisees held that the books of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible also called the written law) have always been transmitted in parallel with an oral tradition. They pointed as proof to the text of the Torah itself where they said many words were left undefined and many procedures mentioned without explanation or instructions; the reader is assumed to be familiar with the details from other sources. This parallel set of material was originally transmitted orally and came to be known as "the oral law". By the year 200 A.D. much of this material was edited together into the Mishnah, the core document of rabbinic Judaism.
 THE TORAH OF THE RABBIS
Rabbi’s Torah               Oral Torah above Written Torah
IN RABBINIC JUDAISM, WASHING YOUR HANDS IS REQUIRED
THE PHARISEES WASH THEIR HANDS BEFORE THEY EAT
Luke 11:37 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in and sat down to meat.
Luke 11:38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.
YESHUA TEACHES CLEAN AND UNCLEAN AT THE SOD LEVEL
Luke 11:39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
DOES TORAH REQUIRE THAT YOU
WASH YOUR HANDS BEFORE YOU EAT ?
Matthew 15:1 Then came to Yeshua scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying
Matthew 15:2 Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders (Oral Law)? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
YESHUA TEACHES THAT CLEAN IS FOLLOWING WRITTEN TORAH AND WORSHIPPING HIM
Matthew 15:3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do you also transgress the commandment of God (Written) by your tradition (Oral law) ?
Matthew 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men (Oral law).
YESHUA IS TEACHING A PARABLE ABOUT CLEAN AND UNCLEAN
Matthew 15:10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
Matthew 15:11 Not that which goes into the mouth defiles a man; but that which comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.
Matthew 15:15 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
THE RABBIS TEACH THT THE ORAL TORAH WAS TAUGHT AT MOUNT SINAI
THE RABBIS TEACH THAT
THE TALMUD GIVEN AT MOUNT SINAI
THE RABBIS TEACH THAT THE
MISHNAH IS GREATER THAN SCRIPTURE
YESHUA TEACHES THAT UNCLEAN IS FOLLOWING ORAL TORAH WITH A EVIL HEART
Matthew 15:2 Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders (Oral Law)? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
Matthew 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men (Oral law).
Matthew 15:11 Not that which goes into the mouth defiles a man …
Matthew 15:20 … but to eat with unwashed hands (not following Oral Torah) defiles not a man.
YESHUA TEACHES THAT UNCLEAN IS FOLLOWING ORAL TORAH WITH A EVIL HEART
Matthew 15:2 Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders (Oral Law)? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
Matthew 15:11 Not that which goes into the mouth defiles a man …
Matthew 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart ...
Matthew 15:20 … but to eat with unwashed hands (not following Oral Torah) defiles not a man.
SUMMARY OF FOOD,
CLEAN / UNCLEAN AND MATTHEW 15
1) The Torah tells us what may be eaten (clean) and what may not be eaten (unclean)
2) The Torah defines food as that which may be eaten (clean)
3) Yeshua taught Torah as the ‘sod’ (spiritual, mystical) level which is the ‘heart’ meaning of Torah
4) When teaching Torah at the ‘sod’ level, Yeshua instructs his disciples that they are to follow His Torah (written Torah with the help of the Holy Spirit who writes the Torah upon the heart of a believer in Yeshua) rather than the ‘Oral Law’ of the Pharisees
SUMMARY OF FOOD,
CLEAN / UNCLEAN AND MATTHEW 15
5) Yeshua taught His disciples in Matthew 15 that if you follow the ‘Oral law’ (wash your hands which causes your hands to be clean) but have an ‘evil heart’ then you are still ‘unclean’ to Him.
6) Yeshua did not teach His disciples that they can eat anything they want. He was teaching them the ‘sod’ level (the heart meaning) of what it means to be ‘clean’ vs ‘unclean’.
7) When Yeshua ate with a Pharisee (who followed ‘Oral law’) in Luke 11, He did not wash His hands before he ate (thus violating ‘Oral law’ but not written Torah)
PETER HAS A VISION WHILE PRAYING
Acts 10:9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:

CORNELIUS IS A PROSELYTE
Acts 10:1 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band
Acts 10:2 A devout man and one that feared God with all his house …
FEARING YHVH IS

 Deuteronomy 17:19 … that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this Torah <08451> and these statutes, to do them:
PROSELYTES FOLLOWED THE ‘TORAH’
CORNELIUS IS INSTRUCTED BY
AN ANGEL TO SEND MEN TO PETER
Acts 10:3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him and saying unto him, Cornelius.

WOMAN WITH AN ISSUE OF BLOOD
Mark 5:25 And a certain woman which had an issue of blood twelve years
Mark 5:26 And had suffered many things of many physicians and had spent all that she had and was nothing bettered but rather grew worse
Mark 5:27 When she had heard of Yeshua came in the press behind and touched his garment [Tzi-Tzit].
TZI-TZIT ARE WORN
ON THE BORDERS OF THE GARMENT
Numbers 15:37 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers 15:38 Speak unto the children of Israel and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribbon of blue:
TZI-TZIT ARE A REMINDER
TO KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS
Numbers 15:39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe that you may look upon it and remember all the commandments of the Lord and do them and that you seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you use to go a whoring
Numbers 15:40 That you remember, and do all my commandments and be holy unto your God.
YESHUA HEALS A
WOMAN WITH AN ISSUE OF BLOOD
Mark 5:28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes [follow Torah], I shall be whole.

THE THREE TIMES
REPRESENTED THREE MEN
Acts 10:17 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean …
Acts 10:19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek you.
Acts 10:20 Arise therefore and get thee down and go with them doubting nothing
PETER’S ATTITUDE TOWARD THE
NON-JEW REPRESENTS RABBINIC JUDAISM
Acts 10:21 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
Acts 10:28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing [violation of Rabbinic Oral Law] for a man that is a Jew to keep company or come unto one of another nation [eat with someone who is not a Rabbinic Jew] …
THE TORAH COMMANDS A DIFFERENCE BE MADE BETWEEN CLEAN AND UNCLEAN
 Leviticus 20:25 Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast or by fowl or by any manner of living thing that creeps on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.
PEIKEI AVOT 1:1
‘MAKE A FENCE AROUND THE TORAH’
"Moses received the Torah from Sinai and transmitted it Joshua. Joshua transmitted it to the Elders, the Elders to the Prophets, and the Prophets transmitted it to the Men of the Great Assembly. They [the Men of the Great Assembly] said three things: Be deliberate in judgment, raise many students, and make a protective fence for the Torah."
THE ‘RABBINIC FENCE’ FOR JEWS
NOT ASSOCIATING WITH NON-JEWS
TALMUD: AVODA ZARA 37-43
Weekly Daf
(Ohr Somayach: Rabbi Mendel Weinbach)
The conclusion of the Gemara is that the prohibition against food cooked by a non-Jew is of rabbinical origin either to discourage intimacy in dining with non-Jews which may lead to eating their non-kosher food (Rashi) or to discourage the social contact which may lead to intermarriage (Tosefot).
PETER WAS TOLD
TO NOT CALL ANY ‘MAN’ UNCLEAN
Acts 10:28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company or come unto one of another nation but God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
THE EXILES OF ISRAEL ARE CALLED ‘MEN’ (ADAM)
Matthew 4:19 And he said unto them, Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.
ACTS 10 (Peter’s Vision): SUMMARY
YHVH had a vision about eating unclean things. According to Torah, the message of a prophetic vision is given by YHVH in the form of a parable or riddle.
In Peter’s case, this was the spiritual meaning of the vision. Peter was playing the prophetic role of Rabbinic Judaism. YHVH wants Rabbinic Judaim to accept and have table fellowship with the non-Jewish Ephraimites who believe that Yeshua is the Messiah as a way of drawing near (Korban) to the God of Israel by presenting to him a peace offering (friendship between Ephraim and Judah)
YHVH was NOT instruction Peter to begin eating unclean food.
THE FOUR NECESSARY THINGS
 Acts 15:19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them which from among the Gentiles are turned <1994> to God:
Acts 15:20 But that we write unto them that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication and from things strangled and from blood.
WHAT ARE THE
FOUR NECESSARY THINGS ?
3) Abstain from things strangled
A FOLLOWER OF YHVH
FORSAKES THINGS STRANGLED
4156 pnikto,j pniktos • strangled 3
1a) what is strangled, i.e. an animal deprived of life  without the shedding of blood
Acts 15:20 But that we write unto them that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication and from things strangled <4156> …
HOLINESS IS LINKED WITH
NOT EATING FORBIDDEN FOOD
Leviticus 11:45 For I am the LORD that brings you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy for I am holy.
Leviticus 11:47 To make a difference between the unclean and the clean and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
STRANGERS ARE COMMANDED
TO FORSAKE EATING BLOOD
Leviticus 17:10 And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel or of the strangers that sojourn among you that eats any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eats blood and will cut him off from among his people.
START SIMPLE AND PROGRESS
Acts 15:21 For Moses of old time has in every city them that preach him being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
SUMMARY OF ACTS 15,
THE NON-JEW AND FOOD
In Acts 15, non-Jews who believe that Yeshua is the Messiah is to obstain from eating ‘things strangled’ which is the improper way of killing an animal (which is clean) to eat and blood
2) In Leviticus, the God of Israel instructs both the native born and the sojourner (non-Jew) to eat clean food (which includes animals which are properly killed) but to not eat blood

1 Timothy 4:5 For it (food eaten by those who know the truth and follow Torah in Messiah) is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
SUMMARY OF
PAUL’S INSTRUCTIONS TO TIMOTHY
1) Timothy was taught the Torah (II Timothy 3:15)
2) Those that know the truth (follow Torah and know the difference between ‘clean’ and ‘unclean’) are to eat their food with ‘thanksgiving’ because it is sanctified by being ‘clean’ (I Timothy 4:1-5)
3) In the last days, evil men will turn others away from following the truth (Torah) by saying that you can eat anything you want without the restrictions which the Torah teaches (I Timothy 4:1-5)
