Igher heartical Greeting Iloved! When one read and study the hola ivine Israelite Law there it often says, when you do that and that you are unclean until evening. What is this 'unclean'? Is this something bad? There are different kinds of acting against the law, there are those of which you get punished and those of which you get 'unclean'. And how it is when I am unclean? Selah

Greetings, From I Iverstanding, when a person is unclean, it means just that. It is mostly for health issues. When someone is unclean by coming in contact with a dead animal, or by other means, they have potential for carrying bacteria. So they must wash, and then wait until the next day to be declared clean. Ark I RasTafarI Haile Selassie I

Greetings I Yes man, like Iman thought too. But the Israelites thought that this physical unclinness is also spiritual... for example then they didn´t join in their rituals when they were unclean etc... But yes, whe I n I see this uncleanness thing in context it just means to be not clean physically. Yes I Selah

Greetings, It was probably considered a disrespect to Jah to take part in such things when a person is unclean. Ark I RasTafarI Haile Selassie I

to be unclean means to be unclean physically as well as spiritully. if entering the temple is a spiritully thing when you are unclean you can not enter the temple so what do that tells you we must make a seperation between clean and unclean like wise holy and unholy.
