Leviticus 11:15-26 Amplified Bible (AMP)

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.

24. And by [contact with] these you shall become unclean; whoever touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening,

25. And whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.

26. Every beast which parts the hoof but is not cloven-footed or does not chew the cud is unclean to you; everyone who touches them shall be unclean.
