What does the Bible verse mean to you?

"Matthew 7:6 “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces."

@FenixGears, Matthew 7:6 is just another ethnocentric racist passage that tells the Israelites/Hebrews/Jews to avoid interacting with Gentiles. It is based on the First Commandment, Exodus 34:11-16 = https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=exodus+34%3A11-16&version=CEV.

The idea is restated in Matthew 15:24-26 = https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matthew+15%3A24-26&version=CEV

Matthew 10:5-6 = https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=matthew+10%3A5-6&version=CEV

In the Bible only Jews are considered men and humans. Gentiles are animals and beasts, dogs and swine. That idea is restated in the Talmud.
