24. But I said to you, ‘You will possess their land; I will give it to you as an inheritance, a land flowing with milk and honey.’ I am the Lord your God, who has set you apart from the nations.
25. ‘ “You must therefore make a distinction between clean and unclean animals and between unclean and clean birds. Do not defile yourselves by any animal or bird or anything that moves along the ground – those that I have set apart as unclean for you.
26. You are to be holy to me because I, the Lord, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be my own.
27. ‘ “A man or woman who is a medium or spiritist among you must be put to death. You are to stone them; their blood will be on their own heads.” ’
