11:46 This is the law 1 of the land animals, the birds, all the living creatures that move in the water, and all the creatures 2 that swarm on the land,
11:47 to distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between the living creatures that may be eaten and the living creatures that must not be eaten.’”
