39. If any animal from which you may eat dies, whoever touches the carcass shall be unclean until the evening.
40. And the person who eats of the carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening. The person who carries the carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
41. Every crawling thing that moves on the ground shall be detestable. It shall not be eaten.
42. Whatever goes on its belly, and whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet from any crawling things that move on the earth, you shall not eat them for they are detestable.
43. You shall not make yourselves detestable with any crawling thing that moves, nor shall you make yourselves unclean with them, that you should thereby be defiled by them.
44. For I am the Lord your God. You shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and you shall be holy, for I am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves with any manner of crawling thing that moves on the ground.
45. For I am the Lord who brings you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God. Therefore you shall be holy, for I am holy.
46. This is the law for the animals, and the fowls, and every living creature that moves in the waters, and every creature that crawls on the ground,
47. to differentiate between the unclean and the clean, and between the animal that may be eaten and the animal that may not be eaten.
