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.’ ”
