New Testament

Leviticus 11:43-47 New English Translation (NET)

43. Do not make yourselves detestable by any of the swarming things. You must not defile yourselves by them and become unclean by them,

44. for I am the Lord your God and you are to sanctify yourselves and be holy because I am holy. You must not defile yourselves by any of the swarming things that creep on the ground,

45. for I am the Lord who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God, and you are to be holy because I am holy.

46. This is the law of the land animals, the birds, all the living creatures that move in the water, and all the creatures that swarm on the land,

47. to distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between the living creatures that may be eaten and the living creatures that must not be eaten.’”
