Passage Leviticus 11:8
Leviticus 11:8 forbids eating pork or touching the carcasses of pigs, which are unclean. In Mark 5:13 Jesus allows the unclean spirits to enter a herd of about two thousand pigs, which then rush down a slope and drown in the sea. The argument asks what the herd’s owners lost, and why a herd should be destroyed to heal one man. (The New Testament text is not yet on this site.)
You shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.
