Leviticus 11:11-26
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 11
11and they shall be detestable to you; you may not eat any of their flesh, and you shall detest their carcasses. 12Whatever in the water does not have fins and scales is detestable to you.
13‘Moreover, these you shall detest among the birds; they are detestable, not to be eaten: the eagle, the vulture, and the buzzard,
14the red kite, the falcon in its kind,
15every raven in its kind,
16the ostrich, the owl, the seagull, and the hawk in its kind,
17the little owl, the cormorant, and the great owl,
18the white owl, the pelican, and the carrion vulture,
19the stork, the heron in its kinds, the hoopoe, and the bat.
20‘All the winged insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you.
21Yet these you may eat among all the winged insects that walk on all fours: those which have jointed legs above their feet with which to jump on the earth.
22These of them you may eat: the locust in its kinds, the devastating locust in its kinds, the cricket in its kinds, and the grasshopper in its kinds.
23But all other winged insects which are four-footed are detestable to you.
24‘By these, moreover, you will be made unclean; whoever touches their carcasses becomes unclean until evening,
25and whoever picks up any of their carcasses shall wash his clothes and be unclean until evening.
26As for all the animals which have a divided hoof but do not show a split hoof, or do not chew the cud, they are unclean to you; whoever touches them becomes unclean.
King James Version
Chapter 11
11They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination. 12Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you. 13And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray, 14And the vulture, and the kite after his kind; 15Every raven after his kind; 16And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, 17And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, 18And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, 19And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
20All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.
21Yet 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;
22Even 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.
23But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.
24And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.
25And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
26The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.

Chapter 11
11They are to remain abhorrent to you; you must not eat any of their meat, and you must abhor their carcasses. 12Everything in the water that does not have fins and scales will be abhorrent to you.
20"All winged insects that walk on all fours are to be abhorrent to you.
21But you may eat these kinds of all the winged insects that walk on all fours: those that have jointed legs above their feet for hopping on the ground.
24"These will make you unclean. Whoever touches their carcasses will be unclean until evening,
25and whoever carries any of their carcasses is to wash his clothes and will be unclean until evening.
26All animals that have hooves but do not have a divided hoof and do not chew the cud are unclean for you. Whoever touches them becomes unclean.
New Living Translation
Chapter 11
11They will always be detestable to you. You must never eat their meat or even touch their dead bodies. 12Any marine animal that does not have both fins and scales is detestable to you.
13These are the birds that are detestable to you. You must never eat them: the griffon vulture, the bearded vulture, the black vulture,
14the kite, falcons of all kinds,
15ravens of all kinds,
16the eagle owl, the short-eared owl, the seagull, hawks of all kinds,
17the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,
18the barn owl, the desert owl, the Egyptian vulture,
19the stork, herons of all kinds, the hoopoe, and the bat.
20You must not eat winged insects that walk along the ground; they are detestable to you.
21You may, however, eat winged insects that walk along the ground and have jointed legs so they can jump.
22The insects you are permitted to eat include all kinds of locusts, bald locusts, crickets, and grasshoppers.
23All other winged insects that walk along the ground are detestable to you.
