8Never eat the meat of these animals or touch their dead bodies. They are unclean for you. 9“Here are the kinds of creatures that live in the water which you may eat—anything in the seas and streams that has fins and scales. However, you must consider all swarming creatures living in the seas or the streams that have no fins or scales disgusting. 11They must remain disgusting to you. Never eat their meat. Consider their dead bodies disgusting. 12Every creature in the water without fins or scales is disgusting to you.
