Leviticus 11:41-45

English Standard Version

^41 (A)“Every swarming thing that swarms on the ground is detestable; it shall not be eaten. ⁴² Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet, any swarming thing that swarms on the ground, you shall not eat, for they are detestable. ^43 (B)You shall not make yourselves detestable with any swarming thing that swarms, and you shall not defile yourselves with them, and become unclean through them. ⁴⁴ For I am the Lord your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and ^(C)be holy, for I am holy. ^(D)You shall not defile yourselves with any swarming thing that crawls on the ground. ^45 (E)For I am the Lord who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God. ^(F)You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.”
