Leviticus 11:41-45

Common English Bible

⁴¹ Every creature that swarms on the earth is detestable; it must not be eaten. ⁴² Among all such creatures that swarm on the earth, you must not eat anything that moves on its belly or anything that walks on four or more feet because they are detestable. ⁴³ Do not make yourselves detestable by means of any swarming creatures. Do not make yourselves unclean with them or be made unclean by them. ⁴⁴ I am the Lord your God. You must keep yourselves holy and be holy, because I am holy. You must not make yourselves unclean by any swarming creature that crawls on the ground. ⁴⁵ I am the Lord, who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God. You must be holy, because I am holy.
