Leviticus 11:39-45

New International Version

³⁹ “‘If an animal that you are allowed to eat dies,^(A) anyone who touches its carcass^(B) will be unclean till evening. ⁴⁰ Anyone who eats some of its carcass^(C) must wash their clothes, and they will be unclean till evening.^(D) Anyone who picks up the carcass must wash their clothes, and they will be unclean till evening.

⁴¹ “‘Every creature that moves along the ground is to be regarded as unclean; it is not to be eaten. ⁴² You are not to eat any creature that moves along the ground, whether it moves on its belly or walks on all fours or on many feet; it is unclean. ⁴³ Do not defile yourselves by any of these creatures.^(E) Do not make yourselves unclean by means of them or be made unclean by them. ⁴⁴ I am the Lord your God;^(F) consecrate yourselves^(G) and be holy,^(H) because I am holy.^(I) Do not make yourselves unclean by any creature that moves along the ground.^{(J) 45} I am the Lord, who brought you up out of Egypt^(K) to be your God;^(L) therefore be holy, because I am holy.^(M)
