Leviticus 20:24-26

New Century Version

²⁴ “‘I have told you that you will get their land, which I will give to you as your very own; it is a fertile land. 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 animals and birds differently from unclean animals and birds. Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these unclean birds or animals or things that crawl on the ground, which I have made unclean for you. 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.
