Leviticus 11:42-44

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴² Whatsoever goeth upon the breast on four feet, or hath many feet, or traileth on the earth, you shall not eat, because it is abominable.

⁴³ Do not defile your souls, nor touch aught thereof, lest you be unclean,

⁴⁴ For I am the Lord your God: be holy because I am holy. Defile not your souls by any creeping thing, that moveth upon the earth.
