Leviticus 20:24-26

New Catholic Bible

²⁴ But I have said to you, “You will inherit their land. I will give it to you to be your own, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the Lord, your God, who chose you from among all people.” ²⁵ You shall therefore distinguish between clean animals and unclean, between unclean birds and clean, so that you shall not make yourselves detestable by any animal or bird or anything that creeps on the ground that I indicated as being unclean. ²⁶ You shall be holy, for I, the Lord, am holy. I have chosen you from among all people that you shall be mine.
