Leviticus 20:23-25

International Standard Version

²³ You are not to live^[a] by the customs of the nations, whom I’ve cast away right in front of you. Because they did all of these things, I detested them. ²⁴ But I’ve promised^[b] you that you’ll inherit the land that I’m about to give you as your permanent possession^[c]—a land flowing with milk and honey.

“I am your God. I’ve separated you from the people. ²⁵ You are to differentiate between the clean animal and the unclean and between the unclean bird and the clean. You are not to make yourselves detestable on account of any animal, bird, or any creeping creature of the ground that I’ve separated for you as unclean.
