17. The screech owl, and the cormorant, and the ibis,
18. And the swan, and the bittern, and the porphyrion,
19. The heron, and the charadrion according to its kind, the houp also, and the bat.
20. Of things that fly, whatsoever goeth upon four feet, shall be abominable to you.
21. But whatsoever walketh upon four feet, but hath the legs behind longer, wherewith it hoppeth upon the earth,
22. That you shall eat, as the bruchus in its kind, the attacus, and ophiomachus, and the locust, every one according to their kind.
23. But of dying things whatsoever hath four feet only, shall be an abomination to you:
24. And whosoever shall touch the carcasses of them, shall be defiled, and shall be unclean until the evening:
25. And if it be necessary that he carry any of these things when they are dead, he shall wash his clothes, and shall be unclean until the sun set.
26. Every beast that hath a hoof, but divideth it not, nor cheweth the cud, shall be unclean: and he that toucheth it, shall be defiled.
27. That which walketh upon hands of all animals which go on all four, shall be unclean: he that shall touch their carcasses shall be defiled until evening.
