Leviticus 11:41-47 ▼

41 And every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth it is an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

42 Everything crawling on its belly and everything walking on four legs, as far as everything multiplying feet among all the swarming things that swarm upon the earth, you? shall not eat them, for they are an abomination.

43 You? shall not make your? souls detestable with any swarming thing that swarms, and you? shall not make yourselves unclean with them, and you? shall not become unclean by them.

44 For I am YHWH your? God. And you? shall sanctify yourselves, and you? shall be holy, for I am holy. And you? shall not make unclean your souls with any swarming thing that crawls upon the earth.

45 For I am YHWH, the One bringing you? up from the land of Egypt, to be your? God; and you? shall be holy, for I am holy.

46 This is the law of the beast and the bird and every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that swarms upon the earth,

47 to distinguish between the unclean and between the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and between the living thing that may not be eaten.’”
