23 Furthermore, you shall not [a]follow (A)the customs of the nation which I am going to drive out before you, because they did all these things; (B)therefore I have felt disgust for them. 24 So I have said to you, “(C)You are to take possession of their land, and I Myself will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am the Lord your God, who has (D)singled you out from the peoples. 25 (E)You are therefore to make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean bird and the clean; and you shall not make [b]yourselves detestable by animal or by bird, or by anything [c]that crawls on the ground, which I have distinguished for you as unclean.
