Leviticus 11:9-21 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

9. 'These you may eat, whatever is in the water: all that have fins and scales, those in the water, in the seas or in the rivers, you may eat.

10. But whatever is in the seas and in the rivers that does not have fins and scales among all the teeming life of the water, and among all the living creatures that are in the water, they are detestable things to you,

11. and they shall be abhorrent to you; you may not eat of their flesh, and their carcasses you shall detest.

12. Whatever in the water does not have fins and scales is abhorrent to you.

13. 'These, moreover, you shall detest among the birds; they are abhorrent, not to be eaten: the eagle and the vulture and the buzzard,

14. and the kite and the falcon in its kind,

15. every raven in its kind,

16. and the ostrich and the owl and the sea gull and the hawk in 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 in its kinds, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

20. 'All the winged insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you.

21. Yet these you may eat among all the winged insects which walk on all fours: those which have above their feet jointed legs with which to jump on the earth.
