Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.

Verse 25 is found in chapter 20 of Leviticus. The conclusion again unites obedience, separation from the nations, and purity. Israel must distinguish between clean and unclean because it has been set apart to belong to God, while prohibited practices can bring communal defilement.

Compare Leviticus 20:25 in different Bible versions and see how its wording varies between translations. These differences can help you better understand the meaning and context of the passage.
daß ihr auch absondern sollt das reine Vieh vom unreinen und unreine Vögel von den reinen, und eure Seelen nicht verunreinigt am Vieh, an Vögeln und an allem, was auf Erden kriecht, das ich euch abgesondert habe, daß es euch unrein sei.
Por tanto, vosotros haréis diferencia entre animal limpio e inmundo, y entre ave inmunda y limpia: y no ensuciéis vuestras personas en los animales, ni en las aves, ni en ninguna cosa que va arrastrando por la tierra, las cuales os he apartado por inmundas.
Distinguirán entre el animal puro y el impuro, y entre el ave impura y la pura. No se harán detestables con los animales, las aves ni con ninguna criatura que se arrastre por el suelo, que he apartado para ustedes como impuros.
Vous observerez la distinction entre les animaux purs et impurs, entre les oiseaux purs et impurs, afin de ne pas rendre vos personnes abominables par des animaux, par des oiseaux, par tous les reptiles de la terre, que je vous ai appris à distinguer comme impurs.
E però mettete differenza fra la bestia monda e l’immonda, e fra l’uccello mondo e l’immondo; e non rendete le vostre persone abbominevoli per quelle bestie, o per quegli uccelli, o per alcun rettile che serpe sopra la terra, i quali io vi ho separati per averli per immondi.
Fareis, pois, diferença entre os animais limpos e imundos, e entre as aves imundas e as limpas; e as vossas almas não fareis abomináveis por causa dos animais, ou das aves, ou de tudo o que se arrasta sobre a terra; as quais coisas apartei de vós, para tê-las por imundas.
你們要分辨潔淨和不潔淨的飛禽走獸;不可因我定為不潔淨的飛禽走獸,或爬行在土地上的任何生物,使自己成為可憎惡的。
