And now if you will indeed hear My voice, and keep My covenant, you shall be to Me a peculiar people above all nations; for the whole earth is Mine.

And you shall be to Me a royal priesthood and a holy nation. These words shall you speak to the children of Israel.

For I am the Lord who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God; and you shall be holy, for I the Lord am holy.

Speak to the congregation of the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God [am] holy.

You shall eat nothing that dies of itself; it shall be given to the sojourner in your cities and he shall eat it, or you shall sell it to a stranger, because you are a holy people unto the Lord your God. You shall not boil a lamb in his mother's milk.

but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all manner of life,

because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."

And every soul which eats that which has died of itself, or is taken of beasts, either among the natives or among the strangers, shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean until evening: then shall he be clean.

But if he does not wash his garments, and does not bathe his body in water, then shall he bear his iniquity.

And you shall make a distinction between the clean and the unclean cattle, and between clean and unclean birds; and you shall not defile your souls with cattle, or with birds, or with any creeping things of the earth, which I have separated for you by reason of uncleanness.

He shall not eat that which dies of itself, or is taken of beasts, so that he should be polluted by them: I [am] the Lord.

You shall eat nothing that dies of itself; it shall be given to the sojourner in your cities and he shall eat it, or you shall sell it to a stranger, because you are a holy people unto the Lord your God. You shall not boil a lamb in his mother's milk.

Then I said, By no means, Lord God of Israel! Surely my soul has not been defiled with uncleanness, nor have I eaten that which has died of itself, or was torn by beasts from my birth until now; neither has any corrupt flesh entered into my mouth.

And the priests shall eat no bird or beast that dies of itself, or is taken of wild beasts.

But Peter said, "By no means, Lord! For never did I eat anything common or unclean."

but that we write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, and from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and [from] blood.
