Leviticus 11:10-26 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

10. And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:

11. They shall be even an abomination unto you;

12. Whatsoever has no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

13. And these are they which you shall hold in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the osprey,

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

15. Every raven after its kind;

16. And the ostrich, and the nighthawk, and the sea gull, and the hawk after its kind,

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

18. And the white owl, and the pelican, and the carrion vulture,

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

20. All winged insects that creep, going upon all fours, shall be an abomination unto you.

21. Yet these may you eat of every winged insect that goes upon all fours, which have legs above their feet, to leap with upon the earth;

22. Even these of them you 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 other winged insects, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.

24. And for these you shall be unclean: whosoever touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening.

25. And whosoever bears any part of the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

26. The carcasses of every animal which divides the hoof, and is not cloven footed, nor chews the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that touches them shall be unclean.
