Field Notes: Who May Eat Nevelah?

Who May Eat Nevelah? Torah's Forgotten Foreigner Who may eat nevelah, and what does that reveal about Torah's covenantal world?

We also examine the covenantal meaning of nokhri throughout the Tanakh and conclude with Isaiah 56, where the "son of the foreigner" is invited to join himself to YHWH and His people.
