Leviticus 11:43-47

⁴³Don't defile yourselves by any such crawling animal. Don't make yourselves unclean or defiled by them,

⁴⁴because I am the Lord your God; so dedicate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. Don't defile yourselves by any animal that crawls along the ground.

⁴⁵I am the Lord who led you out of Egypt so that I could be your God. So be holy, because I am holy.

⁴⁶These are the regulations about animals, birds, everything that lives in the water, and all animals that crawl along the ground.

⁴⁷You must recognize the difference between unclean and clean, between those animals that can be eaten and those that can't.”
