What does the Bible say about glede?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible mentions the glede as one of the birds Israel was not permitted to eat under the ceremonial food laws given through Moses. In Deuteronomy 14:13, it appears among birds classified as unclean for Israel, teaching God’s concern that his covenant people live distinctly and obediently before him. These regulations were part of the old covenant and pointed to the need for holiness in every area of life. In Christ, believers are no longer bound by Israel’s ceremonial dietary restrictions, for he fulfills the law and makes his people clean through faith. Yet God’s call to reverence, obedience, and grateful dependence remains.
