Leviticus 11:44-47

I am the LORD your God. Keep yourselves holy for me because I am holy. Don’t make yourselves unclean with any of these crawling animals. I am the LORD who brought you out of Egypt to be your God; you must be holy because I am holy. “ ‘These are the teachings about all of the cattle, birds, and other animals on earth, as well as the animals in the sea and those that crawl on the ground. These teachings help people know the difference between unclean animals and clean animals; they help people know which animals may be eaten and which ones must not be eaten.’ ”
