Leviticus 11:42-44

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴² You shall not eat any swarming creature that swarms on the ground, anything that goes on its belly, and anything that goes on all fours, or anything that has many legs, because these creatures are detestable. ⁴³ You shall not make yourself detestable^[a] with any creature that swarms, nor shall you make yourself unclean with them, so that you become unclean by them, ⁴⁴ for I am the Lord your God. Set yourselves apart, therefore, so that you may be holy, for I am holy. You shall not make yourself unclean with any swarming creature that crawls on the ground,
