While pooping early this morning, I grabbed my old “The Children’s Living Bible”. My fingers flipped through the pages and found two Biblical passages: Deuteronomy 14 and 15. It mentions what not to eat and why we should lend to poor folks, respectively.
In D14, we could eat cud-chewing beast with cloven hooves and sealife with fins and scales. That means NO pork and only fish, not shark fin soup, shrimps, clams, oysters, urchins, etc. We are NOT supposed to eat birds of prey or that which wades in the water. In other words, the meat should be sufficiently “muscular” and not from the likes of parakeets, bats, insects, bugs, spiders, anything that crawls, etc.
In D15, we are supposed to release debt and servants after seven years but continue to lend to the poor.
