Leviticus 11:39-45
39“When any animal that you are allowed to eat dies, whoever touches its dead body will be unclean until evening.
40Those who eat any of its dead body must wash their clothes and will be unclean until evening. Those who carry its dead body away will wash their clothes and will be unclean until evening.
41“Any creature that swarms on the ground is disgusting and must not be eaten.
42Don’t eat any creature with many legs that goes on its belly or on the ground like a four-legged animal, or any creature that swarms on the ground. Consider them disgusting.
43Don’t become disgusting by eating anything that swarms on the ground. Never allow yourselves to become unclean because of them.
44“Here is the reason: I am the Lord your God. You must live holy lives. Be holy because I am holy. Never become unclean by touching anything that swarms or crawls on the ground.
45Here is the reason ⌞again⌟: I am the Lord. I brought you out of Egypt to be your God. Be holy because I am holy.
