²³ Moreover, you shall not walk in ^(A)the statutes of the nation which I will cast out before you, for they did all these things, and ^(B)therefore I have loathed them. ²⁴ Hence I have said to you, “^(C)You yourselves shall possess their land, and I Myself will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am Yahweh your God, who has ^(D)separated you from the peoples. ^25 (E)You are therefore to separate between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean bird and the clean; and you shall not make ^[a]yourselves detestable by animal or by bird or by anything ^[b]that creeps on the ground, which I have separated for you as unclean.
