Where did the laws against shellfish come in? I have a hard time picturing shellfish causing any sort of problems.

I truly wish I could tell you exactly, and I'd give it a good try if you insist, but you could do the research as well as I (Thompson's Chain Reference, maybe, or concordance?). Several years ago, I received a personal email stating that the Bible claimed "shellfish was an abomination" and quoting Lev. 10:10. But that was in incorrect cite. I couldn't locate a Scripture that stated "shellfish was an abomination," but recalled that there were references to shellfish. My thoughts were that shellfish is a source of allergies (there are some instructions regarding prevention of allergic reactions in the Bible and I know from personal experience about allergies to shellfish) and that, possibly, shellfish were bottom feeders and therefore "unclean" for ingestion....?
