Leviticus 11 is a passage of clean and unclean food. This is also mentioned in Deuteronomy 14:3-20 Instead of been bogged down with the details of which food is allowed. The purpose behind this list was for health reasons. The animals which was acceptable for human consumption were those that chewed cud and had a split hoof (v. 3). I personally would not eat some of the list of unclean animals, mentioned in the pasage. However, we should look at Acts 15, where the Jerusalem Council only had the following requirements for Gentile believers: Act 15.19-21 to abstain from food given to idols, sexual immorality and from blood. Paul mentioned in Romans 14 that we should not let our brother stumble because what we eat and the day we worship, we should be considerate of our weaker brother.

Hebrews 10
The author reminds us that the law is only a shadow of things to come. Hence it is not a perfect system, rather Jesus came, he offered the perect sacrifice, once for all, on our behalf. In verse 10 And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. . (NIV) The author repeats that Jesus sits at the right hand of God. The removal of sin is far superior with the Christ the High Priest, in verse 14 because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy. (NIV)
