However, the precise identity of the unclean birds is a matter of contention in traditional Jewish texts. It is therefore common to eat only birds with a clear masorah (tradition) of being kosher in at least one Jewish community, such as domestic fowl. Leviticus 11 lists the non-kosher flying creatures.

Adventists in accordance with the food laws of Leviticus 11, are encouraged to not eat "unclean" meat, including pork and shellfish, [9] because the biblical distinction between clean and unclean animals existed prior to the Sinai covenant (see Gen. 6-9). Adventists oppose homosexuality, which they see as included in the commandment "You shall ...
The Torah (Pentateuch) contains passages in Leviticus that list the animals people are permitted to eat. According to Leviticus 11:3, animals like cows, sheep, and deer that have divided hooves and chew their cud may be consumed. Pigs should not be eaten because they do not chew their cud.
Deuteronomy 14:19 specifies that all "flying creeping things" were to be considered ritually unclean [97] and Leviticus 11:20 goes further, describing all flying creeping things as filth, Hebrew sheqets. [98] Leviticus goes on to list four exceptions, which Deuteronomy does not.

A freewill offering can be eaten for two days, and burned the third day. Meat that touches anything unclean is burned. Only a clean person eats peace offerings.

During the time when the laws of ritual purity were performed by the Jewish nation, earthenware vessels into which one of the eight, dead creeping things had fallen, including within an earthenware oven, become unclean and unfit for sacred foods, and, therefore, would be broken and the food discarded (Leviticus 11:33).
In addition to meat, products of forbidden species and from unhealthy animals were banned by the Talmudic writers. [10] This included eggs (including fish roe), [11] as well as derived products such as jelly, [12] but did not include materials merely "manufactured" or "gathered" by animals, such as honey (although, in the case of honey from animals other than bees, there was a difference of ...
