ACTS 10:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.”
It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds of the air.—the catalog of animals is theologically charged: the mixture violates Jewish dietary law distinctions (Leviticus 11). Four-footed animals (quadrupeds, presumably both clean and unclean), reptiles (explicitly forbidden in Lev 11:41-42), and birds—the enumeration suggests totality and deliberate mixing of categories. Everything taboo is present.
