Talk:Unclean
In Leviticus 7:19-21 we see a warning that flesh should not touch an unclean(טָמֵא֙ tame)[1] thing but also no unclean(טָהוֹר TetHeyVavReish) tahor[2] individual should eat of this offering, also explained in Leviticus 7.
There are two words reflecting the meaning of unclean the adjective tame[3] טָמֵא[1] and tahor טָהוֹר [4] טָהוֹר[2].
The first is Tame[3] טָמֵא (Strong’s 02931 adj. or the verb 02930[5]) as substantive describes persons, animals, objects, places, or times rendered “unclean” in relation to the holiness of God. The term appears approximately eighty-eight times, concentrated in Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and the Prophets. It is never a comment on inherent worth but on fitness to approach or serve (Leviticus 10:10).
The second is the adjective טָהוֹר tahor[4] describes that which is Clean and entirely free from defilement, whether ceremonial, physical, moral, or spiritual. It occurs about ninety-three times across the Hebrew Scriptures, forming one of the major vocabulary pillars for the themes of holiness, separation, and wholehearted devotion to the LORD. The bible talks about different types of tables where the daily ministration may be distributed. Those who eat at one should not eat at the other with a few exceptions. ]]
In the process a man will "become unclean, become impure". It is a process that moves the clean to unclean, the moral to immoral. It is found in the practices of men that separates from the natural power endowed by God that is not cast up,[6] tahor טָהוֹר [4] His eyes are darkened as the masses of mankind twist and defile the part of themselves that was made in the image of God. In his blindness he follows the broad way[7] to the burdens[8] of bondage.
What men judge as good is often evil and leads him to anguish[9] and destruction.[10]
They no longer give life but now the take it like the kings of Israel from the "days of Samuel" until God would not hear them.
They will need their rituals and ceremonies and the doctrines of men to create a feeling of self-righteousness but in truth they will be workers of iniquity following blind guides.[11]
This process occurs in many ways and forms, including "by idolatry" which according to Paul is covetousness.[12]
The people may not see the truth of this twisting of Sound Doctrine into false religion it creeps and slithers like the serpent into the garden of our minds and hearts tempting the people to call the wages of unrighteousness, righteousness.
Hidden defilement
There are several Hebrew words for hide or keep secret.[13]
When the whole word has returned to these pernicious ways they have returned to secret or Mystery Babylon.
One of the words for to hide or to conceal is taman[14][15] which is spelled TetMemNun (טָמַן) does mean "to hide" and can be related to the idea of darkness. David talks about their tables which should have been for their welfare but became a share.[16] And then continues about their eyes being darkened which leads to fear and desolation.[17] Paul reminds us of the same darkness that comes to our eyes when we are forced to bow down our backs back into bondage.[18] He makes that same warning right after repeating David's warning about their table which is a snare.[19]
Shechem of consent
Jacob told Simeon and Levi, "Ye have troubled me to make me to stink" attack us and destroy us.[20] So what did he do to fix the situation?
Jacob was told to build an altar in Bethel and put away their strange gods that he discovered when he fled Esau.[21]
And in order to "be clean" Jacob hid[14] them under[22] the oak[23] which [was] by Shechem[24].
Jacob told "unto his household, and to all that [were] with him to give up these "strange gods" and be a part of this new altar and they need to change their garments and be clean. This is not just about changing your outfit and washing but changing their way just as John the Baptist was changing the ways of the people who followed him. The altar he built would be like that of Abraham and Moses and for the same purposes.
Jacob had feared because they were "few in number" but now he was going to strengthen the social bonds of his people and those who would be with him in the way like Abraham did before Sodom was invaded. He called the place‘El Beyth-’El (אֵל בֵּית־אֵל).
And then we see Jacob took the strange gods and supposedly "hid[15] them under the oak which [was] by Shechem." That seems strange and does not sound like anything that Abraham, Moses, nor Christ would do. It seems counter intuitive and counter productive.
The same “oak” of Shechem seems to be testified against in the worship of strange gods which we may see in Joshua 24:26; cf. Joshua 24:2; Joshua 24:14; Joshua 24:23. If altars are a part of the social welfare of the people in the practice of Pure Religion then hoaw does burying the offering do any thing good? Was Jacob burying this treasure of silver that had been taken from the people and hiding it under the ground or under an oak tree? And how did this stop people from destroying him?
The word for "oak" is ‘allah AlefLamedHey (אַלָּה)[23] and is said to be from אַיִל ‘ayil[25] which is translated Ram over 150 times but oak only once.
There are lots of different words spelled with the same AlefLamedHey (אַלָּה) which we see for an oak tree in Genesis 35 but mean something quite different. Just a few are:
- The Hebrew noun for both the small "g" god and capital "G" God which is spelled AlefLamedHey (אַלָּה)[26].
- The Hebrew verb meaning to swear[27] and the Hebrew noun oath[28] are also both spelled AlefLamedHey (אַלָּה).
The word Shechem[24] can be a place or a name but as a noun it can mean a shoulder or a back and the word portion and consent.[29] and as a verb to rise or start early.[30]
Since the word "under" which is TavChetTav (תַּחַת)[22] can actually mean "instead of" and the term translated "oak" can mean an "oath". Did these altars receive these contributions instead of the oath of consent common in the cities round about them?
The same word in the Hebrew language for city is first defined as "excitement, anguish (of terror)" and we can see in verse 5[31] as Jacob and his people journeyed they were a "terror" (חִתָּה)[32] "to the cities"[33]. We see the word "cities" in this original text appearing as heārîm (הֶֽעָרִים֙) and the word "terror" written as ḥittaṯ (חִתַּ֣ת). The term religion is not found in the Old Testament and its appearance in the New Testament it is mostly negative. As a word its meaning has changed over time. But it is clear that to the early Christians' religion was about how you took care of the needy of society and to be pure Religion that had to be unspotted from the "world". The religion of the world was managed through their temples.
The early Church would not eat at the tables of those public temples, i.e. apply for their free bread, a.k.a. welfare benefits or dainties, because they were provided by men who exercised authority one over the other. Those systems of Social welfare were the covetous practices warned about by Peter and the idolatry condemned by Jesus[34] and Paul.[12] Since Moses and Jesus were not only in agreement the harmony of the Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb are harmoniously in tune it should be painfully obvious that all systems of social welfare based on force and compelled offerings of the people by men who exercise authority one over the other,[35] return people to the bondage of Egypt, make men human resources defile mankind, degenerate the masses,[36] and therefore are unclean because they are unethical and immoral.[34]
To take away the choice of your neighbor takes away what God endowed him with.[37]
Food for thought
There were many things that were said to be unclean in the Bible and for more than one reason.
There were some restrictions concerning what they could eat and some animals were called unclean.
Some of these rules were for health reasons.
There were areas where parasites were a terrible problem causing serious health risks.
They could eat any animal that has a split hoof divided in two and that chews the cud. However, of those that chew the cud or that have a split hoof completely divided you may not eat the camel, the rabbit or the coney.
In Leviticus 11:27, God forbids Moses and his followers to eat swine “because it parts the hoof but does not chew the cud.” Archeologists have discovered that parasites were pandemic in the areas where swine roamed free but especially where they were herded. Just contacting their feces, touching them or the people who raised them could pass these parasites on to the Israelites. So, “Of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch; they are unclean to you.” Moses saw the correlation between the pork eating Canaanites and the health problems suffered within their community. But with Moses there is always room for a deeper meaning and understanding for the benefit of the people within the scope of his statutes, traditions, and judgements.
Metaphors and meanings
The swine does return to the mire and we should not boil a kid in its mothers milk.
What does it mean for "a soul [to] touch any unclean[1] thing[38], whether it be a carcase (בְנִבְלַ֨ת bəniḇlaṯ)[39] of an unclean beast[40]" which we see in Leviticus 5?
Leviticus 5: "'Or if a soul touch any unclean[1] thing[38], whether it be a carcase (בְנִבְלַ֨ת)[39] of an unclean beast[40], or a carcase of unclean cattle[41] , or the carcase of unclean creeping things[42], and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty."[43]
Things that are unclean are the things not according to the way of righteousness which seeks to give life more abundant and most of that has to do with that which is unethical and immoral[34] and will degenerate the people if left unchecked by the people.
What about the unclean spirit
Anyone who promotes the idea or ideology that is clearly unethical and immoral[34] as if it is acceptable as good, ethical or moral would be compatible with or could be identified as an unclean spirit.
Unclean in prophesy
- Revelation 2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate."
- Revelation 2:14 "But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. 15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate."
- "2 Peter 2":15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;"
- Jude 1:11 "Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core."
The error of Balaam is the error of the Nicolaitan that brings man back into bondage because of his covetous practices he is made merchandise and curse children. They eat the dainties of rulers served at the tables of men in government who who have the spirit of Nimrod, Cain, Pharaoh, Caesar and FDR, LBJ, the Ayatollah and all the people, citizens and masses that follow their pernicious ways which Paul and David said were a snare and a trap

- Genesis 42:21-22 "21 And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us. 22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required."
- Proverbs 1:26-32 "26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: 30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. 31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. 32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them."
- Proverbs 1:10-19 (The way of One purse and the Cities of blood.) "10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: 12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: 13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: 14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: 15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: 16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. 17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. 18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. 19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof."
- 1 Samuel 8:18 “And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.”
- Exodus 12:19 "Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land."
- Matthew 16:11-12 "How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees."
- Luke 12:1 "In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy."

- ↑ Destroyers of liberty
- "That the man who first ruined the Roman people twas he who first gave them treats and gratuities. But this mischief crept secretly and gradually in, and did not openly make it's appearance in Rome for a considerable time." Plutarch's Life of Coriolanus (c. 100 AD.) This would include Julius Caesar and eventually Augustus Caesar which is why Plutarch also reported, “The real destroyers of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations, and benefits.” This was a major theme of the Bible:
- There were tables of welfare which were both snares and a traps as David and Paul stated and Peter warned would make us merchandise and curse children. Proverbs 23 told us not to not eat the "dainties" offered at those tables of Rulers and Paul says in 1 Corinthians 10 we cannot eat of those tables and the table of the Lord. We are not to consent to their covetous systems of One purse or Corban which makes the word of God to none effect.
- We know when the masses become accustomed to those benefits of legal charity which are the rewards of unrighteousness provided by benefactors who exercise authority and the Fathers of the earth through the covetous practices that makes men merchandise and curse children as a surety for debt.
- We should know, "Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness], it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it...". Abraham Lincoln But that alteration must begin with ourselves.
- ↑ False prophets and Guru theories
- Isaiah 42:16 "And I will bring the blind by a way [that] they knew not; I will lead them in paths [that] they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them. 17 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye [are] our gods. 18 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see."
- Isaiah 30:20 "And [though] the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers: 21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This [is] the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. 22 Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence. 23 Then shall he give the rain of thy seed,..."
- Matthew 13:13 "Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand."
- Matthew 15:14 "Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."
- Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recoveing of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
- John 9:39 ¶ "And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind."
- Luke 6:39 "And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? 40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master."
- Acts 13:11 "And now, behold, the hand of the Lord [is] upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand."
- ↑ 12.0 12.1 Covetousness is idolatry
- Colossians 3:5 "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:"
- Ephesians 5:5 "For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God."
- 1 Corinthians 5:10 "Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat."
- For it is written that the tables of dainties provided by rulers of the world are a snare because they cause the masses to bite one another through government systems of legal charity which are covetous practices which are a form of fornication or adultery where the people are devoured as merchandise, curse children and are "entangled again in the yoke of bondage" with the aid of the false religion of the whore who rides the beast.

It therefore bridges the concrete and the moral: tangible concealment often becomes a parable of hidden sin or malignant ambush.
