Leviticus 11:45

⁴⁵Ego enim sum Dominus, qui eduxi vos de terra Aegypti, ut essem vobis in Deum: sancti eritis, quia et ego sanctus sum.b

Leviticus 11 lays out detailed dietary laws for the Israelites, distinguishing between clean and unclean animals. These regulations, often called “kosher laws,” dictated what could and could not be eaten, covering land animals, sea creatures, and birds. Beyond food, the chapter also addresses ritual impurity caused by contact with unclean carcasses, emphasizing the profound connection between diet, holiness, and the covenant relationship with God. The underlying tension is the call to be holy as God is holy, which permeated every aspect of Israelite life.
