Leviticus 11:42-44

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁴² Do not eat any of the creatures that swarm on the earth, anything that moves on its belly or walks on all fours or on many feet,^[a] for they are detestable. ⁴³ Do not become contaminated by any creature that swarms; do not become unclean or defiled by them. ⁴⁴ For I am Yahweh your God,^(A) so you must consecrate yourselves^(B) and be holy because I am holy.^(C) You must not defile yourselves by any swarming creature that crawls on the ground.
