Leviticus 11

 

  1. And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them,
  2. "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'These are the animals which you may eat among all the beasts that are on the earth:  (Deut. 14:4)
  3. 'Among the beasts, whatever divides the hoof, having cloven hooves and chewing the cud -- that you may eat.
  4. 'For I am the Lord your God.  You shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy.  Neither shall you defile yourselves with any creeping thing that creeps on the earth.  (Ex. 6:7;   Heb. 12:10;   1 Pet. 1:15&16)
  5. 'For I am the Lord who brings you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God.  You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
  6. 'This is the law of the beasts and the birds and every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the earth,
  7. 'to distinguish between the unclean and the clean, and between the animal that may be eaten and the animal that may not be eaten.'"  (Ezek. 44:23)
