Leviticus 11:8-10

International Children’s Bible

⁸ You must not eat the meat from these animals. Don’t even touch their dead bodies. They are unclean for you.

⁹ “‘Some animals live in the sea or in a river. If the animal has fins and scales, you may eat it. ¹⁰ But some animals live in the sea or in a river and do not have fins and scales. This includes the things that fill the water. And it includes all other things that live in the water. You should hate them.
