19storks, any kind of heron, hoopoes, and bats.

20“All winged insects that walk on all fours are to be abhorrent to you.

21But you may eat these kinds of all the winged insects that walk on all fours: those that have jointed legs above their feet for hopping on the ground.

22You may eat these: any kind of locust, katydid, cricket, and grasshopper.

23All other winged insects that have four feet are to be abhorrent to you.
