Leviticus 11:13-23

13‘These, moreover, 1you shall detest among the birds; they are 2abhorrent, not to be eaten: the 3eagle and the vulture and the 4buzzard, 14and the kite and the falcon in its kind, 15every raven in its kind, 16and the ostrich and the owl and the sea gull and the hawk in its kind, 17and the little owl and the cormorant and the 5great owl, 18and the white owl and the 6pelican and the carrion vulture, 19and the stork, the heron in its kinds, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

20‘All the 7winged insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you. 21Yet these you may eat among all the 8winged insects which walk on all fours: those which have above their feet jointed legs with which to jump on the earth. 22These of them you may eat: the locust in its kinds, and the devastating locust in its kinds, and the cricket in its kinds, and the grasshopper in its kinds. 23But all other 9winged insects which are four-footed are detestable to you.
