Genesis 7:1

The Great Flood

1 Then the ^aLord said to Noah, ^b“Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that ^cyou are righteous before Me in this generation.

2 You shall take with you seven each of every ^aclean animal, a male and his female; ^btwo each of animals that are unclean, a male and his female;

3 also seven each of birds of the air, male and female, to keep¹ the species alive on the face of all the earth.

4 For after ^aseven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth ^bforty days and forty nights, and I will¹ destroy from the face of the earth all living things that I have made.”

Genesis 7:1-2

The same principle applies to clean and unclean foods. It appears in Genesis 7:1-2, when Noah was filling up the ark. By the time we get to Leviticus, it was not new. It, too, I am sure, existed right from the very beginning.

How did Abel know to sacrifice a clean animal? Where does it appear? It appears way back at the beginning, just like the marriage and divorce law—that is, God&39;s intention. Then it is assigned in the laws in Leviticus and Deuteronomy. Again, in the New Testament we find Peter, in Acts 10, stoutly defending himself because nothing common or unclean—both of them—had ever passed his lips.
