Macht eure Seelen nicht zum Scheusal und verunreinigt euch nicht an ihnen, daß ihr euch besudelt.
No ensuciéis vuestras personas con ningún reptil que anda arrastrando, ni os contaminéis con ellos, ni seáis inmundos por ellos.
No se hagan detestables con ninguno de los seres que pululan, ni se contaminen con ellos y queden impuros por su causa.
Ne rendez point vos personnes abominables par tous ces reptiles qui rampent; ne vous rendez point impurs par eux, ne vous souillez point par eux.
Non rendete abbominevoli le vostre persone per niun rettile che serpe; e non vi contaminate con essi, onde siate immondi per essi.
Não vos façais abomináveis, por nenhum réptil que se arrasta, nem neles vos contamineis, para não serdes imundos por eles;
你們不可因任何群聚的動物使自己成為可憎的,也不可因牠們成為不潔淨,染了污穢。
