7. The pig, because it has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but doesn’t chew the cud, is unclean to you.

8. You shall not eat their meat. You shall not touch their carcasses. They are unclean to you.

9. “‘These you may eat of all that are in the waters: whatever has fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, that you may eat.

10. All that don’t have fins and scales in the seas and rivers, all that move in the waters, and all the living creatures that are in the waters, they are an abomination to you,

11. and you shall detest them. You shall not eat of their meat, and you shall detest their carcasses.

12. Whatever has no fins nor scales in the waters is an abomination to you.

15. any kind of raven,

16. the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,

17. the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,

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

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.
