40. And if anyone eats any part of the animal, he must wash his clothes, but he will still be unclean until evening; anyone who carries the dead body must wash his clothes, but he will still be unclean until evening.
41. You must not eat any of the small animals that move on the ground,
42. whether they crawl, or walk on four legs, or have many legs.
43. Do not make yourselves unclean by eating any of these.
44. I am the Lord your God, and you must keep yourselves holy, because I am holy.
45. I am the Lord who brought you out of Egypt so that I could be your God. You must be holy, because I am holy.
