Leviticus 11:40-46

⁴⁰Anyone who eats some meat from that carcass must wash his clothes, and then he must not touch anyone until that evening.

⁴¹All creatures that crawl along the ground, including those that move on their bellies and those that crawl, are detestable, and they must not be eaten.

⁴³Do not ◄defile yourselves/cause you to become unacceptable to me► by eating any of those creatures DOU.

⁴⁴I am Yahweh your God, and I am holy, so you must consecrate yourselves and be holy. You must avoid eating things that cause you to be unacceptable to me. Do not cause yourselves to become unacceptable to me by eating creatures that crawl along on the ground.

⁴⁵I am Yahweh, the one who freed you from being slaves in Egypt, in order to be your God. Therefore, because I am holy, you must be holy.

⁴⁶Those are the regulations concerning animals and birds, all the living creatures that live in water or scurry along on the ground.
