Leviticus 11:21-28 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

21. Only this may you eat from any of the winged insects that walk on all fours—that which has jointed legs above its feet for leaping upon the land.

22. From these you may eat the locust according to its kind and the bald locust according to its kind and the cricket according to its kind and the grasshopper according to its kind.

23. But any other winged insect that has four legs is detestable to you.

24. And by these you shall become unclean—anyone who touches their dead body shall become unclean until the evening,

25. and anyone who carries their dead body must wash his garments, and he shall be unclean until the evening.

26. “ ‘With regard to any animal that has a divided hoof but does not split the hoof, or does not have a cud for chewing—they are unclean for you; anyone who touches them shall become unclean.

27. And anything that walks upon its paws among any of the animals that walks on all fours—they are unclean for you; anyone who touches their dead body shall become unclean until the evening,

28. and the one who carries their dead body must wash his garments, and he shall be unclean until the evening—they are unclean for you.
