Leviticus 11:42-47
Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon[ all] four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they[ are] an abomination.Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.For I[ am] the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I[ am] holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.For I[ am] the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I[ am] holy.This[ is] the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
