Uncleanness: Unchasteness, impurity, lewdness. The term unclean refers to things that are morally or ritually impure.
The Bible abounds with references to uncleanness and its avoidance. From the very beginning of the Bible, God’s chosen people were instructed to avoid idols and their various forms. As part of this instruction, He also outlined His requirements for His chosen people (Leviticus 11).
In Leviticus 11:10-12 we find a list of things which were considered clean and unclean by God Himself. These included animals that were not allowed as food (cows) because they had cloven hooves but chewed cud; animals that had only cloven hooves without chewing cud were permitted; fish with fins and scales were clean; those without fins or scales were not clean; birds that had talons were clean; those without talons could be eaten except pigeons or doves which could be eaten after they were killed at home rather than being bought while still alive in the market place!
The Bible says to avoid unclean things
Uncleanness is a broad term that refers to anything that can contaminate or make one unfit to eat, drink, or otherwise come in contact with.
It’s important to note that uncleanness can be contracted by many things outside of sexual sins. For example, touching an animal carcass makes one unclean (Ezekiel 5:3), as does being touched by someone who touched such an animal (Leviticus 11:39). Uncleanness can also result from some physical defects like leprosy and boils, as well as a number of other causes that are specified in Leviticus 12-15.

I know that this can be a difficult topic, but it is important to know what God expects of us and how we can follow His laws as laid out in scripture. The Bible is full of verses that detail our responsibilities when it comes to keeping ourselves clean or avoiding uncleanness in our lives.
