"There were certain foods that God deemed clean and unclean, food the Israelites could eat or not eat. God, through Jesus Christ, changed this law with the advent of the new covenant because Christ fulfilled the law. We are no longer bound to the dietary restrictions of the old covenant (ACTS 1 0 : 9 - 1 6 ). But it is helpful to understand why the Israelites were. The Israelites were commanded to eat very specific things for many reasons, one of which was to put greater emphasis on sacred prophetic symbols like the Passover lamb, another was to make Israel holy and distinct from other nations through self-control, and a third was, possibly, to preserve the overall health of a nation from whom the Christ would be born––
some creatures like scavenger birds carry disease, and ancient pagan cultures would typically eat anything. Food for thought!
