12. Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that is an abomination unto you.

14. and the kite, and the falcon after its kind;

15. every raven after its kind;

16. and the ostrich, and the night hawk, and the seamew, and the hawk after its kind;

17. and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl;

20. All winged creeping things that go upon all four are an abomination unto you.

21. Yet these may ye eat of all winged creeping things that go upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;

22. even these of them ye may eat; the locust after its kind, and the bald locust after its kind, and the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.

25. And whosoever beareth aught of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
