Compare all
41 ‘And every creeping thing that creeps on the earth shall be1 an abomination. It shall not be eaten.  
42 Whatever crawls on its belly, whatever goes on all fours, or whatever has many feet among all creeping things that creep on the earth—these you shall not eat, for they are an abomination.
43 aYou shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creeps; nor shall you make yourselves unclean with them, lest you be defiled by them.  
44 For I am the Lord your aGod. You shall therefore consecrate yourselves, and byou shall be holy; for I am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves with any creeping thing that creeps on the earth.  
45 aFor I am the Lord who brings you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. bYou shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.  
46 ‘This is the law1 of the animals and the birds and every living creature that moves in the waters, and of every creature that creeps on the earth,  
47 ato distinguish between the unclean and the clean, and between the animal that may be eaten and the animal that may not be eaten.’ ”

Leviticus

LEVITICUS. So called from its treating of the laws relating to the ritual, the services, and sacrifices of the Jewish religion, the superintendence of which was entrusted to the Levitical priesthood. It is chiefly, however, the duties of the priests, "the sons of Aaron," which this book describes; and its claim to be the work of Moses is established by the following passages:— II Chronicles 30:16; Nehemiah 8:14; Jeremiah 7:22-23; Ezekiel 20:11 Matthew 8:4; Luke 2:22; John 8:5; Romans 10:4; Romans 13:9; II Corinthians 6:16; Galatians 3:12; I Peter 1:16.
