Leviticus 11:2-23
2“Tell the Israelites: You may eat all these kinds of land animals.
3You may eat any animal with divided hooves and that chews the cud.
4But among the ones that chew the cud or have divided hooves you are not to eat these: camels, though they chew the cud, do not have divided hooves — they are unclean for you;
5hyraxes, though they chew the cud, do not have hooves — they are unclean for you;
6hares, though they chew the cud, do not have hooves — they are unclean for you;
7pigs, though they have divided hooves, do not chew the cud — they are unclean for you.
8Do not eat any of their meat or touch their carcasses — they are unclean for you.
9“This is what you may eat from all that is in the water: You may eat everything in the water that has fins and scales, whether in the seas or streams.
10But these are to be abhorrent to you: everything in the seas or streams that does not have fins and scales among all the swarming things and other living creatures in the water.
11They are to remain abhorrent to you; you must not eat any of their meat, and you must abhor their carcasses.
12Everything in the water that does not have fins and scales will be abhorrent to you.
13“You are to abhor these birds. They must not be eaten because they are abhorrent: eagles, bearded vultures, Egyptian vultures,
14kites, any kind of falcon,
15every kind of raven,
16ostriches, short-eared owls, gulls, any kind of hawk,
17little owls, cormorants, long-eared owls,
18barn owls, eagle owls, ospreys,
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.
