12. Everything in the waters that has not fins or scales shall be abhorrent and detestable to you.

13. These you shall have in abomination among the birds; they shall not be eaten, for they are detestable: the eagle, the ossifrage, the ospray,

14. The kite, the whole species of falcon,

15. Every kind of raven,

16. The ostrich, the nighthawk, the sea gull, every species of hawk,

17. The owl, the cormorant, the ibis,

18. The swan, the pelican, the vulture,

19. The stork, all kinds of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.

20. All winged insects that go upon all fours are to be an abomination to you;

21. Yet of all winged insects that go upon all fours you may eat those which have legs above their feet with which to leap on the ground.

22. Of these you may eat: the whole species of locust, of bald locust, of cricket, and of grasshopper. [Matt. 3:4.]

23. But all other winged insects which have four feet shall be detestable to you.
