Leviticus 11:43-47 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

43. Do not render yourselves detestable through any of the swarming things that swarm; and you shall not make yourselves unclean with them so that you become unclean.

44. For I am the Lord your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy. And you shall not make yourselves unclean with any of the swarming things that swarm on the earth.

45. For I am the Lord who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God; thus you shall be holy, for I am holy.'"

46. This is the law regarding the animal and the bird, and every living thing that moves in the waters and everything that swarms on the earth,

47. to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean, and between the edible creature and the creature which is not to be eaten.
