The dietary laws in Leviticus serve a dual purpose: they are both practical and spiritual. Practically, these laws helped the Israelites maintain health and hygiene in a time when food preservation and safety were not as advanced as today. Spiritually, these laws were a means of setting the Israelites apart as God's chosen people, distinct from other nations. The prohibition against eating flying insects that walk on all fours is part of a larger framework designed to cultivate a sense of holiness and obedience to God's commands. For Christians, while these specific dietary laws are not binding, they underscore the importance of living a life that is distinct and dedicated to God. This principle of holiness and separation can be applied in various aspects of modern life, encouraging believers to make choices that reflect their faith and commitment to God.
"‘All flying insects that walk on all fours are to be regarded as unclean by you."
Leviticus 11:20
