==William Branham cut his hair==


William Branham obviously cut his hair on a regular basis,
''My wife said to me the other day, "Billy..." I--'''I'd got a haircut here sometime ago''', and a barber put carbolic acid on my hair, and it all come out. And she said, "Billy, you're almost bald-headed."
 
But I said, "I haven't lost a one of them."<ref>THE.REVELATION.THAT.WAS.GIVEN.TO.ME_  SAN.JUAN.PR  WEDNESDAY_  60-0210</ref>

==Unclean animals==
 
God states that cud-chewing animals with split hooves can be eaten (Leviticus:11:3; Deuteronomy:14:6). These specifically include the cattle, sheep, goat, deer and gazelle families (Deuteronomy:14:4-5).


He also lists such animals as camels, rabbits and pigs as being unclean, or unfit to eat (Leviticus:11:4-8). He later lists such "creeping things" as moles, mice and lizards as unfit to eat (Leviticus:11:29-31), as well as four-footed animals with paws (cats, dogs, bears, lions, tigers, etc.) as unclean (Leviticus:11:27).
==William Branham touched a dead body==


He tells us that salt and freshwater fish with fins and scales may be eaten (Leviticus:11:9-12), but water creatures without those characteristics (catfish, lobsters, crabs, shrimp, mussels, clams, oysters, squid, octopi, etc.) should not be eaten.
''My father had a bad habit, drinking. I'm sorry to have to say that, but that's true. And he--he... '''My father died in my arms.''' I seen my daddy work so hard, till when he would come in, his--his back would be sun burned until his shirt would be sticking to his back, and mother would have to take and clip the shirt loose from his back. I don't care what he done. He's my daddy. I'm not ashamed of my father. I love my daddy. He's gone on today, but he's still daddy.<ref>HERE.WE.HAVE.NO.CONTINUING.CITY_  LITTLE.ROCK.AR  50-0200</ref>


God also lists birds and other flying creatures that are unclean for consumption (Leviticus:11:13-19). He identifies carrion eaters and birds of prey as unclean, plus ostriches, storks, herons and bats.
