Holy Scripture

Leviticus 11:9

A church father on this verse
“Fish with rough scales are considered clean, just as persons with austere, rough, unpolished, steadfast and grave traits are commended. Fish without scales are considered unclean, just as loose, fickle, insincere and effeminate traits are censured. What does the law mean when it states, "You shall not eat the camel"?…”
Novatian, 3th c. — JEWISH FOODS 3.13-23
