Leviticus 11:43-45

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.

⁴⁵ For I am the Lord, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might be your God.
