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

18. and the horned owl, and the pelican, and the vulture;

19. and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

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.

23. But all winged creeping things, which have four feet, are an abomination unto you.

24. And by these ye shall become unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even:

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

26. Every beast which parteth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, is unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.

27. And whatsoever goeth upon its paws, among all beasts that go on all four, they are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.

28. And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.

29. And these are they which are unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard after its kind,

30. and the gecko, and the land-crocodile, and the lizard, and the sand-lizard, and the chameleon.

31. These are they which are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they are dead, shall be unclean until the even.

32. And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherewith any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; then shall it be clean.
