Where can dietary laws be found in the Scriptures?

• A. Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14
• B. Genesis 25 and Exodus 20
• C. Acts 5 and Isaiah 45
• D. Psalm 119 and Psalm 111

Answer: (A)

Dietary laws in the Scriptures are specifically detailed in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. These chapters outline what animals are considered clean and unclean, providing instructions on which foods are permissible for consumption.

Leviticus 11 describes various categories of animals, including land animals, sea creatures, and birds, along with characteristics that determine their cleanliness. Similarly, Deuteronomy 14 reiterates these laws while also offering additional context and instructions for the Israelites regarding their dietary practices.

The other options do not contain relevant dietary laws. Genesis 25 discusses the birth of Esau and Jacob, while Exodus 20 contains the Ten Commandments. Acts 5 pertains to the early church and issues of governance, and Isaiah 45 addresses God’s sovereignty and creation. In contrast, Psalms focus on worship and praise, not dietary guidelines. Therefore, the first choice is the only one that correctly identifies where dietary laws are articulated in the Scriptures.
