Leviticus 11:39-45

39“If one of the animals that you use for food dies, anyone who touches its carcass will be unclean until evening.

40Anyone who eats some of its carcass is to wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening. Anyone who carries its carcass must wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening.

41“All the creatures that swarm on the earth are abhorrent; they must not be eaten.

42Do not eat any of the creatures that swarm on the earth, anything that moves on its belly or walks on all fours or on many feet, for they are abhorrent.

43Do not become contaminated by any creature that swarms; do not become unclean or defiled by them.

44For I am the Lord your God, so you must consecrate yourselves and be holy because I am holy. Do not defile yourselves by any swarming creature that crawls on the ground.

45For I am the Lord, who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God, so you must be holy because I am holy.
