Deuteronomy 14:2

14:2 For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. He has chosen you to be his people, prized above all others on the face of the earth.

Deuteronomy 14:21

14:21 You may not eat any corpse, though you may give it to the resident foreigner who is living in your villages and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. You are a people holy to the Lord your God. Do not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.
