21 Only this may you eat from any of the winged insects[a] that walk on all fours—that which has jointed legs above its feet for leaping upon the land. 22 From these[b] you may eat the locust according to its kind and the bald locust according to its kind and the cricket according to its kind and the grasshopper according to its kind. 23 But[c] any other[d] winged insect[e] that has four legs is detestable to you.
