Leviticus 11:13-23

13‘And these you shall regard as an abomination among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, the vulture, the buzzard,

14the kite, and the falcon after its kind;

15every raven after its kind,

16the ostrich, the short-eared owl, the sea gull, and the hawk after its kind;

17the little owl, the fisher owl, and the screech owl;

18the white owl, the jackdaw, and the carrion vulture;

19the stork, the heron after its kind, the hoopoe, and the bat.

20‘All flying insects that creep on all fours shall be an abomination to you.

21Yet these you may eat of every flying insect that creeps on all fours: those which have jointed legs above their feet with which to leap on the earth.

22These you may eat: the locust after its kind, the destroying locust after its kind, the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.

23But all other flying insects which have four feet shall be an abomination to you.
