Leviticus [Pertaining to Levites] 11:43-47

⁴³You shall not make yourselves detestable with any creeping thing that creeps. You shall not make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled thereby.

⁴⁴For I am Adonai your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy. You shall not defile yourselves with any kind of creeping thing that moves on the earth. (Maftir ·Conclusion·)

⁴⁵For I am Adonai who brought you up out of the land of Egypt Abode of slavery, to be your God. You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

⁴⁶“‘This is the Torah ·Teaching· of the animal, and of the bird, and of every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the earth,

⁴⁷to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the living thing that may be eaten and the living thing that may not be eaten.’”
