Leviticus 11:42-44

International Children’s Bible

⁴² You must not eat any of the animals that crawl on the ground. This includes animals that crawl on their stomachs. And it includes animals that walk on all four feet or on many feet. Those are hated animals to you. ⁴³ Do not make yourself unclean by these hated animals. You must not become unclean by them. ⁴⁴ I am the Lord your God. Keep yourselves holy for me because I am holy. Don’t make yourselves unclean with these hated, crawling animals.
