Unclean Swarming Creatures

⁴¹ ‘All the creatures that swarm on the earth are abhorrent; they must not be eaten. ⁴² Do not eat any of the creatures that swarm on the earth, anything that moves on its belly or walks on all fours or on many feet,^[a] for they are abhorrent. ⁴³ Do not become contaminated by any creature that swarms; do not become unclean or defiled by them. ⁴⁴ For I am the Lord your God,^(A) so you must consecrate yourselves^(B) and be holy because I am holy.^(C) Do not defile yourselves by any swarming creature that crawls on the ground. ⁴⁵ For I am the Lord, who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God,^(D) so you must be holy because I am holy.^(E)
