^45 (A)For I am the Lord who brings you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. ^(B)You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.

⁴⁶ ‘This is the law ^[a]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 (C)to distinguish between the unclean and the clean, and between the animal that may be eaten and the animal that may not be eaten.’ ”
