Leviticus 11:2–23

²“Say to the Israelites, ‘Of all the beasts of the earth, these ones you may eat: ³You may eat any animal that has a split hoof completely divided and that chews the cud.

⁴But of those that only chew the cud or only have a divided hoof, you are not to eat the following:^a

The camel, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.

⁵The rock badger,^b though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.

⁶The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you.

⁷And the pig, though it has a split hoof completely divided, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you.

⁸You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.

⁹Of all the creatures that live in the water, whether in the seas or in the streams, you may eat anything with fins and scales.

¹⁰But the following among all the teeming life and creatures in the water are detestable to you: everything in the seas or streams that does not have fins and scales. ¹¹They shall be an abomination to you; you must not eat their meat, and you must detest their carcasses. ¹²Everything in the water that does not have fins and scales shall be detestable to you.

¹³Additionally, you are to detest the following birds, and they must not be eaten because they are detestable:

the eagle, the bearded vulture, the black vulture,

¹⁴the kite, any kind of falcon,

¹⁵any kind of raven,

¹⁶the ostrich,^c the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,

¹⁷the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,

¹⁸the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,

¹⁹the stork, any kind of heron,

the hoopoe, and the bat.

²⁰All flying insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you. ²¹However, you may eat the following kinds of flying insects that walk on all fours: those having jointed legs above their feet for hopping on the ground. ²²Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket, or grasshopper. ²³All other flying insects that have four legs are detestable to you.
