Leviticus 11:20-23 New English Translation
Clean and Unclean Insects
20 “‘Every winged swarming thing that walks on all fours[a] is detestable to you. 21 However, this you may eat from all the winged swarming things that walk on all fours, which have jointed legs[b] to hop with on the land. 22 These you may eat from them:[c] the locust of any kind, the bald locust of any kind, the cricket of any kind, the grasshopper of any kind. 23 But any other winged swarming thing that has four legs is detestable to you.
