Leviticus 11:41–47

⁴¹And ^revery creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten. ⁴²Whatsoever goeth upon ^sthe belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination. ⁴³Ye shall not make your selves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby. ⁴⁴For I am the Lord your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ^tye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that ^ucreepeth upon the earth. ^45wFor I am the Lord that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ^xye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy. ⁴⁶This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of ^yevery living creature that ^umoveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth: ^47zto make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
