Read Acts 10.9-16. Peter's vision deals directly with the profane or unclean (see also his recounting in 11.5-11). In verse 12-13: In Lev 11.1-47, Israel was commanded to make a distinction among four-footed creatures, not to gather all kinds together, particularly to eat. In verses 15: "What God has made "clean" apparently now included creatures that had been identified as unclean according tot he laws of Israel. The word profane means "vulgar" or "common" and could be used to refer to all the nations not chosen of God or set apart by their observance of the law as holy to God. In verse 16: Repeating the vision three times anticipates the difficulty of the concern (11.1-8; 15.1-2). Comments or Questions..
