EXTRAORDINARY NEWS · QUESTION 307 OF 311
Why did God command the Israelites to follow specific dietary laws?
For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
