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

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

20. “‘All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you.

21. Yet you may eat these: of all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have long, jointed legs for hopping on the earth.

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

23. But all winged creeping things which have four feet are an abomination to you.

24. “‘By these you will become unclean: whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

25. Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

26. “‘Every animal which has a split hoof that isn’t completely divided, or doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you. Everyone who touches them shall be unclean.

27. Whatever goes on its paws, amongst all animals that go on all fours, they are unclean to you. Whoever touches their carcass shall be unclean until the evening.

28. He who carries their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening. They are unclean to you.

29. “‘These are they which are unclean to you amongst the creeping things that creep on the earth: the weasel, the rat, any kind of great lizard,

30. the gecko, and the monitor lizard, the wall lizard, the skink, and the chameleon.

31. These are they which are unclean to you amongst all that creep. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until the evening.

32. Anything they fall on when they are dead shall be unclean; whether it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or sack, whatever vessel it is, with which any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the evening. Then it will be clean.
