This is the law pertaining to land animal and bird and every living creature that moves through the waters and every creature that swarms upon the earth,

New American Bible
This is the instruction for land animals, birds, and all the creatures that move about in the water, as well as any animal that swarms on the ground,

Douay-Rheims Bible
You shall be holy, because I am holy. This is the law of beasts and fowls, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and creepeth on the earth:

You shall be holy, because I am holy. This is the law of beasts and fowls, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and creepeth on the earth:

1. As a test of obedience, and to teach the Israelites habits of self-denial, and the government of their appetites.

2. To keep them distinct from other nations, and consequently from their idolatrous usages, by throwing hindrances in the way of their social intercourse; for these distinctions were applicable both to persons and things. The Canaanites not only ate the animals prohibited by Moses, which we usually eat, but others also, among which dogs were one. Besides, many of those declared unclean were sacred among the heathen, and sacrificed to their gods.

3. Because those prohibited were innutritive and unwholesome; as the swine, the flesh of which being strong and difficult to digest, affords a very gross aliment, and produces, especially in hot climates, cutaneous, scrophulous, and scorbutic disorders, as the itch, leprosy, etc.

Leviticus 7:37 This is the law of holocaust, and of the sacrifice for sin, and for trespass, and for consecration, and the victims of peace offerings:

Leviticus 14:54 This is the law of every kind of leprosy and stroke.

Leviticus 15:32 This is the law of him that hath the issue of seed, and that is defiled by copulation.

Ezekiel 43:12 This is the law of the house upon the top of the mountain: All its border round about; most holy: this then is the law of the house.
