Mark 7:2-4; And when they saw some of His disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen hands, they found fault. For the pharisees and all the Jews except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.


I think it is interesting how even back then, it was considered unholy and wrong if they did not wash their hands and food before eating. I am grateful for modern revelation and how they have taught us the importance of clean hands and food. I feel like clean food and hands is a big part of public health and the Temple is by far the purest and cleanest place that we can find!
