1 耶和華摩西亞倫

2 你們曉諭以色列人,在上一切走中可的乃是這些:

3 分兩瓣、倒嚼的走,你們都可以

4 但那倒嚼或分之中不可的乃是:駱駝─因為倒嚼不分,就與你們不潔淨;

5 沙番─因為倒嚼不分,就與你們不潔淨;

6 兔子─因為倒嚼不分,就與你們不潔淨;

7 ─因為分兩瓣,卻不倒嚼,就與你們不潔淨。

8 這些獸的,你們不可;死的,你們不可摸,都與你們不潔淨。

9 中可的乃是這些:凡在裡、裡、裡、有翅有鱗的,都可以

10 凡在裡、裡,並一切裡游動的活物,無翅無鱗的,你們都當以為可憎。

11 這些無翅無鱗、以為可憎的,你們不可他的;死的也當以為可憎。

12 裡無翅無鱗的,你們都當以為可憎。

13 中你們當以為可憎、不可的乃是:鵰、狗頭鵰、紅頭鵰、

14 鷂鷹、小鷹與其類;

15 烏鴉與其類;

16 鴕鳥、夜鷹、魚與其類;

17 鴞鳥、鸕鶿、貓頭鷹、

18 角鴟、鶘、禿鵰、

19 鸛、鷺鷥與其類;戴鵀與蝙蝠。

20 凡有翅膀用足爬行的物,你們都當以為可憎。

21 只是有翅膀用足爬行的物中,有足有,在上蹦跳的,你們還可以

22 其中有蝗蟲、螞蚱、蟋蟀與其類;蚱蜢與其類;這些你們都可以

23 但是有翅膀有足的爬物,你們都當以為可憎。

24 這些都能使你們不潔淨。凡摸了死的,必不潔淨到晚上

25 凡拿了死的,必不潔淨到晚上,並要洗衣服

26 凡走不成兩瓣、也不倒嚼的,是與你們不潔淨;凡摸了的就不潔淨。

27 足的走獸,用掌行走的,是與你們不潔淨;摸其屍的,必不潔淨到晚上

28 拿其屍的,必不潔淨到晚上,並要洗衣服。這些是與你們不潔淨的。

29 上爬物與你們不潔淨的乃是這些:鼬鼠、鼫鼠、蜥蜴與其類;

30 虎、龍子、守宮、蛇醫、蝘蜓。

31 這些爬物都是與你們不潔淨的。在他死了以後,凡摸了的,必不潔淨到晚上

32 其中死了的,掉在甚麼東西上,這東西就不潔淨,無論是器、衣服子、口,不拘是做甚麼工用的器皿,須要放在中,必不潔淨到晚上,到晚上才潔淨了。

33 若有死了掉在瓦器裡的,其中不拘有甚麼,就不潔淨,你們要把這瓦器打破了。

34 其中一切可的食物,沾的就不潔淨,並且那樣器皿中一切可的,也必不潔淨。

35 其中已死的,若有一點掉在甚麼物件上,那物件就不潔淨,不拘是爐子,是鍋臺,就要打碎,都不潔淨,也必與你們不潔淨。

36 但是泉源或是聚的池子仍是潔淨;惟挨了那死的,就不潔淨。

37 若是死的,有一點掉在要種的子粒上,子粒仍是潔淨;

38 已經澆在子粒上,那死的有一點掉在上頭,這子粒就與你們不潔淨。

39 你們可吃的走若是死了,有人摸他,必不潔淨到晚上

40 有人那死了的走獸,必不潔淨到晚上,並要洗衣服;拿了死走獸的,必不潔淨到晚上,並要洗衣服

41 上的爬物是可憎的,都不可

42 凡用肚子行走的和用足行走的,或是有許多足的,就是一切爬在上的,你們都不可,因為是可憎的。

43 你們不可因甚麼爬物使自己成為可憎的,也不可因這些使自己不潔淨,以致染了污穢。

44 我是耶和華─你們的;所以你們要成為潔,因為我是潔的。你們也不可在上的爬物污穢自己。

45 我是把你們從埃及領出來的耶和華,要作你們的;所以你們要聖潔,因為我是聖潔的。

46 這是走、飛,和水中游動的活物,並上爬物的條例。

47 要把潔淨的和不潔淨的,可的與不可的活物,都分別出來。

670. II. The washing called baptism means spiritual washing, which is purification from evils and falsities, and so regeneration.

Acts of washing were enjoined upon the Children of Israel, as is well known from the statutes laid down by Moses. For instance, that Aaron should wash himself before putting on his garments as minister (Leviticus 16:4, 24); and before approaching the altar to minister (Exodus 30:18-21; 40:30-32). The same was enjoined upon the Levites (Numbers 8:6-7); and also others who had become unclean through sins, and they were said to be sanctified by acts of washing (Exodus 29:1, 4; 40:12; Leviticus 8:6). Therefore the bronze sea and many basins were placed near the temple, so that they could wash themselves (1 Kings 7:23-39). They were instructed to wash the vessels and utensils, such as tables, benches, beds, plates and cups (Leviticus 11:32; 14:8-9; 15:5-12; 17:15-16; Matthew 23:25-26).

[2] But the reason why washing and similar acts were ordered and enjoined upon the Children of Israel was that the church established among them was a representative one, and had the character it did so as to prefigure the Christian church which was to come. When therefore the Lord came into the world, He abolished representative acts, all of which were external, and established a church which was in all respects internal. So the Lord banished the symbols and revealed the actual forms, as when someone lifts a curtain or opens a door, allowing what is inside not only to be seen but also approached. Out of all the previous representative acts the Lord retained only two, to contain everything the internal church has in a single pair; these are baptism to replace the acts of washing and the Holy Supper to replace the lamb which was sacrificed every day, and in full measure on the feast of the Passover.
