Leviticus 11:43-45
1599 Geneva Bible
43 Ye shall not pollute yourselves with anything that creepeth, neither make yourselves unclean with them, neither defile yourselves thereby: ye shall not, I say, be defiled by them.
44 For I am the Lord your God: be sanctified therefore, and be [a]holy, for I am holy, and defile not yourselves with any creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
45 For I am the Lord that brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God, and that you should be holy, for I am holy.
