41.「『凡地上的爬物是可憎的,都不可吃。
「『Every creature that moves along the ground is to be regarded as unclean; it is not to be eaten.
42.凡用肚子行走的和用四足行走的,或是有許多足的,就是一切爬在地上的,你們都不可吃,因為是可憎的。
You are not to eat any creature that moves along the ground, whether it moves on its belly or walks on all fours or on many feet; it is unclean.
43.你們不可因甚麼爬物使自己成為可憎的,也不可因這些使自己不潔淨,以致染了污穢。
Do not defile yourselves by any of these creatures. Do not make yourselves unclean by means of them or be made unclean by them.
44.我是耶和華你們的 神;所以你們要成為聖潔,因為我是聖潔的。你們也不可在地上的爬物污穢自己。
I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. Do not make yourselves unclean by any creature that moves along the ground.
45.我是把你們從埃及地領出來的耶和華,要作你們的 神;所以你們要聖潔,因為我是聖潔的。』」
I am the LORD, who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy.
46.這是走獸、飛鳥,和水中游動的活物,並地上爬物的條例。
「『These are the regulations concerning animals, birds, every living thing that moves about in the water and every creature that moves along the ground.
47.要把潔淨的和不潔淨的,可吃的與不可吃的活物,都分別出來。
You must distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between living creatures that may be eaten and those that may not be eaten.』」
