Read Acts 10.9-16
Peter's vision deals with with profane or unclean (see his recounting in 11.5-11).
In verses 12-13: In Lev 11.1-47, Israel was commanded to make a distinction among the four-footed creatures, not to gather all kinds together, particularly to eat.
In verse 15: "What God has made clean" apparently now included creatures that had been identified as unclean according to the laws of Israel.
The word profane means "vulgar" or "common" and could be used to refer to all the nations not chosen by 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).
