Leviticus 20:26
"“‘You shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean. You shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean for you."
Key Reflection
This passage underscores God's command to maintain a boundary between what is clean and unclean, both in animals and birds, reflecting the importance of purity within the covenant community. By adhering to these distinctions, Israel was to remain set apart as God’s holy people, distinguishing themselves from other nations through adherence to divine standards of holiness.
