you.
[GGJ.05_239,04] What is more than moderation is evil for man. Excessive
eating causes diseases of the stomach, — but excessive drinking not only
creates stomach and chest ailments but also lewdness and unchastity of every
imaginable kind.
[GGJ.05_239,05] , be moderate and sober in everything and you will have a
healthy and cheerful soul in an always healthy body. Whoever prepares food for
himself and others, let him prepare it fresh and wholesome so that it will not
harm him. Bear this well in mind, along with all the other things."
[GGJ.05_239,06] But Peter still asked and said, ―Lord, do the often very
respected heathens not sin when they eat the flesh of unclean animals? For
it is forbidden for us Jews, and whoever eats it would commit a great sin
against the Law of Moses.‖
[GGJ.05_239,07] I said, ―In emergency even you as a strict Jew can also eat
the flesh of any animal, and it will serve you well; for all nourishment that a
person is forced to take in need is purified by Me – only he must observe an
even greater moderation!
[GGJ.05_239,08] The flesh of pigs is good, but the slaughtered animal must
bleed out and then be pickled for seven days in salt, vinegar and thyme and
have a weight placed on top. It is then to be taken out of the brine, well dried
with a linen cloth and hung for seven weeks in a smoke from good wood and
herbs until it is completely dry and hard. Who then wants to eat it shall boil it at
first in half water, half wine with the addition of thyme and parsley and will thus
have a good and healthful food on his table. However, these animals must
always be slaughtered in wintertime.
[GGJ.05_239,09] ] In the same way as the pigs also the other unclean animals
must be handled if their flesh, eaten in moderation, is not to be harmful to
man. What applies to the land animals also applies to the various species of
birds of the air and the various animals in the great oceans.
[GGJ.05_239,10] And now, Peter, you will know what you may eat and how,
so that you do not sin against your stomach and neither against your soul!
But now let us take this meal quickly and immediately after move on!‖
[GGJ.05_239,11] We sat down at the table and took the meal.
[GGJ.05_239,12] But Aziona came and said, ―Lord and Master, wouldn‘t You
rather move on tomorrow morning than now in the evening?! It is hours from
here to any place known to me, and the night will catch You up before You
reach any place!‖
