the ostrich, the short-eared owl, the sea gull, and the hawk after its kind;
17
the little owl, the fisher owl, and the screech owl;
18
the white owl, the jackdaw, and the carrion vulture;
19
the stork, the heron after its kind, the hoopoe, and the bat.

'All flying insects that creep on all fours shall be an abomination to you.
21
Yet these you may eat of every flying insect that creeps on all fours: those which have jointed legs above their feet with which to leap on the earth.
22
These you may eat: the locust after its kind, the destroying locust after its kind, the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.
23
But all other flying insects which have four feet shall be an abomination to you.
24
'By these you shall become unclean; whoever touches the carcass of any of them shall be unclean until evening;
25
whoever carries part of the carcass of any of them shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening:
26
The carcass of any animal which divides the foot, but is not cloven-hoofed or does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches it shall be unclean.
