Leviticus 11:42-47

⁴²Do not eat any creature that moves along the ground, whether it crawls on its belly or walks on four or more feet; for such creatures are detestable.

⁴³Do not defile yourselves by any crawling creature; do not become unclean or defiled by them.

⁴⁴For I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, because I am holy. You must not defile yourselves by any creature that crawls along the ground.

⁴⁵For I am the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt so that I would be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy.

⁴⁶This is the law regarding animals, birds, all living creatures that move in the water, and all creatures that crawl along the ground.

⁴⁷You must distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between animals that may be eaten and those that may not.’”
