'Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you': an exposition on Genesis 9:3
From the account of Genesis 9:1-3, it is clear that the phrase every moving thing that liveth should be understood in the context of the FOUR CATEGORIES of the animal species that God created; that is, THE BEASTS, THE FOWLS, THE CREEPING THINGS AND THE FISHES.
'you shall eat neither fat nor blood': an exposition on Leviticus 3:17

'Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man': an exposition on Christ's words in Matthew 15:11
