Leviticus 11:17-24 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

17. the owl, and the sea bird, and the ibis,

18. and the swan, and the pelican, and the marsh hen,

19. the heron, and the plover according to its kind, the crested hoopoe, and also the bat.

20. Of all that flies, whatever steps upon four feet shall be abominable to you.

21. But whatever certainly walks upon four feet, and also has longer legs behind, with which it hops upon the earth,

22. you shall eat, such as the beetle in its kind, and the cricket, and grasshopper, and the locust, each one according to its kind.

23. But among flying things, whatever has only four feet shall be detestable to you.

24. And whoever will have touched their carcasses shall be defiled, and he shall be unclean until evening.
