Hand


The LORD hates hands that shed innocent blood

Hands that shed innocent blood are one of the six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him. (Proverbs 6:16-19)

The Disciples are without washing their hands and catching the ire of the Pharisees and scribes

The disciples ate without washing their hands. When Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem criticized them to Jesus for breaking the tradition of their elders, Jesus taught that it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person but what comes out. (Matthew 15:1-20)

(נטילת ידיים‎) Netilat Yadayim is ritual hand-washing. The Talmud equates eating with unwashed hands to adultery in the Talmud, in Sotah, 4b. (https://www.sefaria.org/Sotah.4b.5?lang=bi, https://www.christianity.com/bible/commentary/matthew-henry-complete/matthew/15)
