Galatians 1:14 and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my countrymen, being more extremely zealous for my ancestral traditions. (NASB ©1995)


For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

[Pugme,] the fist; which Dr. Lightfoot illustrates by a tradition from the Talmudical tracts, that when they washed their hands, they washed the fist up to the joint of the arm, [ad perek.] The Jews laid great stress on these washings, or baptisms, [baptismos,] considering eating with unwashen hands no ordinary crime, and feigning that an evil spirit, called Shibta, has a right to sit on the food of him who thus eats, and render it hurtful.

the tradition. 7-10,13 Mt 15:2-6 Ga 1:14 Col 2:8,21-23 1Pe 1:18
