39 And if any animal of which ye may eat dies, he that touches the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the evening;
40 and he that eats of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; likewise he that bears the carcase of it shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
41 And every reptile that creeps upon the earth is an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
42 Whatever goes upon the belly and whatever goes upon four or more feet among all reptiles that creep upon the earth, ye shall not eat; for it is abomination.
43 Ye shall not defile your souls with any reptile that creeps, neither shall ye contaminate yourselves with them, that ye should be unclean with them.
44 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 your souls with any reptile that moves upon the earth.
45 For I am the Lord that causes you to come up out of the land of Egypt to be your God; ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
