1The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them,
2 the carrion vulture,
19the stork, the heron of any kind, the hoopoe, and the bat.
20“All winged insects that walk upon all fours are detestable to you.
21But among the winged insects that walk on all fours you may eat those that have jointed legs above their feet, with which to leap on the ground.
22Mt 3.4; Mk 1.6Of them you may eat: locusts of every kind, bald locusts of every kind, crickets of every kind, and grasshoppers of every kind.
23But all other winged insects that have four feet are detestable to you.

25v 40and whoever carries any part of the carcass of any of them shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening.
26Every animal that has divided hoofs but is not cleft-footed or does not chew the cud is unclean for you; everyone who touches one of them shall be unclean.
27All that walk on their paws, among the animals that walk on all fours, are unclean for you; whoever touches the carcass of any of them shall be unclean until the evening,
28and the one who carries the carcass shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening; they are unclean for you.
29 Isa 66.17 “These are unclean for you among the creatures that swarm upon the earth: the weasel, the mouse, lizards of every kind,
30the gecko, the land crocodile, the lizard, the sand lizard, and the chameleon.
31These are unclean for you among all that swarm; whoever touches one of them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening.
32Lev 15.12And anything upon which any of them falls when they are dead shall be unclean, whether an article of wood or cloth or leather or sackcloth, any article that is used for any purpose; it shall be dipped in water, and it shall be unclean until the evening, and then it shall be clean.
33Lev 6.28; 15.12And if any of them falls into any clay vessel, all that is in it shall be unclean, and you shall break the vessel.
34Any food that could be eaten shall be unclean if water from any such vessel comes upon it, and any liquid that could be drunk shall be unclean if it was in any such vessel.
35Everything on which any part of the carcass falls shall be unclean; whether an oven or stove, it shall be broken in pieces; they are unclean and shall remain unclean for you.
36But a spring or a cistern holding water shall be clean, while whatever touches the carcass in it shall be unclean.
37If any part of their carcass falls upon any seed set aside for sowing, it is clean,
38but if water is put on the seed and any part of their carcass falls on it, it is unclean for you.
39“If an animal of which you may eat dies, anyone who touches its carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

41 v 29 “All creatures that swarm upon the earth are detestable; they shall not be eaten.
42Whatever moves on its belly and whatever moves on all fours or whatever has many feet, all the creatures that swarm upon the earth you shall not eat, for they are detestable.
43Lev 20.25You shall not make yourselves detestable with any creature that swarms; you shall not defile yourselves with them and so become unclean.
44Ex 6.7; 19.6; Lev 19.2; 1 Pet 1.15, 16For I am the Lord your God; sanctify yourselves, therefore, and be holy, for I am holy. You shall not defile yourselves with any swarming creature that moves on the earth.
45Ex 6.7For I am the Lord who brought you up from the land of Egypt, to be your God; you shall be holy, for I am holy.
46“This is the law pertaining to land animal and bird and every living creature that moves through the waters and every creature that swarms upon the earth,
47Lev 10.10to make a distinction between the unclean and the clean and between the living creature that may be eaten and the living creature that may not be eaten.”
