Leviticus 11:17-29 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

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.

27. And whatsoever goes upon its paws, among all manner of animals that go on all fours, those are unclean unto you: whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

28. And he that bears the carcass of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: they are unclean unto you.

29. These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the great lizard after its kind,
