b Daniel had three possible reasons for considering the Babylonian food to be unclean: (1) The meat may have come from animals prohibited by the Law. (Deut. 14:7, 8) (2) The meat may not have been properly bled. (Lev. 17:10-12) (3) Eating the food could have been viewed as part of the worship of a false god.​—Compare Leviticus 7:15 and 1 Corinthians 10:18, 21, 22.
