It is used to describe both physical and spiritual states that are contrary to the holiness and purity that God desires for His people. The concept of "foul" can be found in various contexts throughout the Scriptures, including ceremonial law, moral teachings, and spiritual symbolism. Ceremonial and Ritual Impurity In the Old Testament, the concept of being "foul" or unclean is frequently addressed in the context of the Levitical laws. These laws were given to the Israelites to maintain ceremonial purity and to distinguish them from other nations. For example, in <a href="/bsb/leviticus/11.htm">Leviticus 11</a>, certain animals are deemed unclean or "foul" for consumption, such as pigs and shellfish. The Israelites were instructed to avoid these animals to remain ceremonially clean: "You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you" (<a href="/leviticus/11-8.htm">Leviticus 11:8</a>). The laws of uncleanness also extended to other areas, such as skin diseases and bodily discharges, which rendered a person ceremonially unclean and required specific purification rituals (Leviticus 13-15). These regulations underscored the importance of holiness and separation from anything that defiles. Moral and Spiritual Corruption Beyond ceremonial laws, the Bible uses the term "foul" to describe moral and spiritual corruption. In the New Testament, Jesus addresses the issue of inner purity, emphasizing that true defilement comes from within a person rather than external sources. In <a href="/mark/7-20.htm">Mark 7:20-23</a>, Jesus states, "What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him. For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly. All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man" . The Apostle Paul also speaks to the issue of moral impurity in his epistles. In <a href="/ephesians/5-3.htm">Ephesians 5:3-4</a>, he exhorts believers to avoid any form of impurity: "But among you, as is proper among the saints, there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk, or crude joking, which are out of character, but rather thanksgiving" . Symbolism and Imagery The Bible often uses vivid imagery to convey the concept of foulness in a spiritual sense. In Revelation, Babylon is depicted as a "dwelling place for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, every unclean bird, and every detestable beast" (<a href="/revelation/18-2.htm">Revelation 18:2</a>). This imagery highlights the complete moral and spiritual corruption of Babylon, symbolizing the ultimate judgment against sin and impurity. Application for Believers For believers, the call to avoid what is foul is a call to pursue holiness and purity in all aspects of life. The Apostle Peter reminds Christians of their identity as a holy nation, urging them to "abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul" (<a href="/1_peter/2-11.htm">1 Peter 2:11</a>). The pursuit of purity is not merely an external adherence to rules but a transformation of the heart and mind, aligning one's life with the righteousness of Christ. In summary, the concept of "foul" in the Bible encompasses both ceremonial and moral dimensions, serving as a reminder of the holiness that God requires and the transformative power of the Gospel to cleanse and purify the believer.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
