New Testament

Leviticus 11:10-23 Modern English Version (MEV)

10. all that do not have fins and scales in the seas and in the rivers, from all that move in the waters and from any living thing that is in the waters, they are detestable to you;

11. they shall be detestable to you. You shall not eat of their flesh, and you shall detest their carcasses.

12. Whatever has no fins or scales in the waters is detestable to you.

13. These you shall detest among the birds; they shall not be eaten; they are detestable: the griffon vulture, the bearded vulture, and the black vulture,

14. the kite, and buzzard of any kind,

15. the raven of any kind,

16. and the eagle owl, the short-eared and long-eared owls, and the hawk of any kind,

17. and the little owl, the cormorant, and the screech owl,

18. and the white owl, the scops owl, and the osprey,

19. and the stork, the heron of any kind, the hoopoe, and the bat.

20. All flying insects that walk, moving on all fours, shall be detestable to you.

21. Yet these you may eat of every flying insect that creeps on all fours: those that have jointed legs above their feet with which to hop on the ground.

22. Even of these you may eat: the locust of any kind, the bald locust of any kind, the cricket of any kind, and the grasshopper of any kind.

23. But all other flying insects that have four feet shall be detestable to you.
