Leviticus 11:44-45
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
44 For I, the Lord, am your God. You shall make and keep yourselves holy,[a] because I am holy.(A) You shall not make yourselves unclean, then, by any swarming creature that crawls on the ground. 45 Since I, the Lord, am the one who brought you up from the land of Egypt that I might be your God, you shall be holy, because I am holy.
