Leviticus 20:24-26

Expanded Bible

²⁴ “‘I have told you that you will ·get [inherit] their land, which I will give to you as your ·very own [possession]; it is a ·fertile land [^Lland flowing with milk and honey; Ex. 3:8]. I am the Lord your God, and I have set you apart from other people and made you my own. ²⁵ So you must treat clean [^Cin a ritual sense] animals and birds differently from unclean animals and birds. Do not make yourselves detestable by any of these unclean birds or animals or things that crawl on the ground, which I have made unclean for you [11:1–47]. ²⁶ So you must be holy to me because I, the Lord, am holy, and I have set you apart from other people to be my own.
