Here is what I believe this passage means

the passage already tells you what it means.. it says "God has shown me that I should not call any person common or unclean".. if there is additional meaning, it is because you put it in there.

Essentially, another way to look at it was this was all part of the putting away the old law and bringing in the new law under Christ….animal sacrifices were done and over with since Christ died as a permanent (and ultimate) sacrifice.

-why does the law need to be put away?
-why did sacrifices continue after Jesus came and left?
-why did jesus command the leper in Matt 8:4 to offer the sacrifices put forth in Leviticus 14?
-why did paul take a nazirite vow in acts 18:18 which requires sacrifices (one of which is a SIN offering) to end?
**Nazirite vow: Numbers 6.. verses 13-16 for ending the vow
-why did he offer sacrifices (and pay for other peoples sacrifices, some of which were SIN sacrifices) in Acts 21:24?
-why does it say in Hebrews 10:28 (written long after Jesus came and left) that anyone who sets aside the Law of Moses dies on the word of 2 witnesses?

In other words, it doesn't say what we want it to say so we'll make things up.
