The King James Version Bible

Leviticus 11:16-24

  1. And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,

  2. And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,

  3. And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,

  4. And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

  5. All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.

  6. Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;

  7. Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.

  8. But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.

  9. And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.
