Clean and Unclean "or" Leaven

By Jonah Doctura | 2018

Introduction

Clean. In Hebrew transliteration, "tahowr" meaning clean, fair, pure.

Unclean. In Hebrew transliteration, "tame" meaning contaminated, foul, defiled.

Un-Kosher. Yahweh wanted to make a difference between His people, Israel and the pagan nations around them who gathered the harvest in their temples and them offered a kid boiled in its mother's milk to their pagan gods. He wanted them not to learn the way of the heathen (Jeremiah 10:2) and adopt it in there time of bringing in the tithes of the harvest.

How is it you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread?--but to beware of the [e]leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the [f]doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Matthew 16:11-12
