It took a long time to understand what the Bible was saying allegorically of course, when it used the words "Clean Beasts". There are a number of passages that use this term, one in particular is in the story of Noah's Ark where God tells Noah to bring the "Clean Beasts" onto the Ark but leave the non-clean beast behind to die in the coming flood. God tells us that meditation is our Ark. And the beast is the lower nature of man, man's attachments to the physical world such as the desire for possession, greed, fear, jealousy hatred etc. You have to tame these beasts in your mind, conquer them, to make them clean and you bring your new understanding of your life into the Ark and meditate on them. Understanding scripture helps clean the beasts.
John 15: 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
