Leviticus 11:10–12

“But anything in the seas or the rivers that has not fins and scales, of the swarming creatures in the waters and of the living creatures that are in the waters, is an abomination to you. They shall remain an abomination to you; of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall have in abomination. Everything in the waters that has not fins and scales is an abomination to you.” RSV (This turns seafood restaurants into dens of iniquity.)

OK, so people are not supposed to eat shellfish in the Palestine area. Got it.

FYI - Leviticus is a wacky piece of writing.

These kinds of rules were put into place because food safety was not a thing back then. Eating seafood could literally kill you.

@LeGrotesque And undercooked pork. And at a time when most people didnt get very old they needed their kids to take care of them and gay people didn't have children. It all makes sense, but ever so wrong!

That is also where it says not to eat pork.

@hunkalove And that it's okay to kill homosexuals.
