Leviticus 11:9-25 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

9. “From all that are in the waters, you may eat whatever has fins and scales, within the waters, in the seas and in the rivers. Those you may eat.

10. But any that do not have fins and scales in the seas or the rivers, among those that swarm on the waters, or among any of the living creatures that are in the waters, they are loathsome to you.

11. They are to be detestable to you. You should not eat meat from them and you should detest their carcasses.

12. Whatever has neither fins nor scales in the waters, that is a detestable thing to you.

13. “Among the birds you should detest the following—they are not to be eaten—they are loathsome: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture,

14. the red kite, any kind of black kite,

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,

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

20. “All flying insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you.

21. Yet you may eat from all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to hop on the earth.

22. You may eat from any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket and any kind of grasshopper.

23. But all winged creeping things that have four feet are loathsome to you.

24. “Moreover, by these also you will become unclean: whoever touches their carcasses should be unclean until the evening.

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