13“‘You shall detest these among the birds; they shall not be eaten because they are an abomination: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture,

14the red kite, any kind of black kite,

15any kind of raven,

16the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk,

17the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl,

18the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey,

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

20“‘All flying insects that walk on all fours are an abomination to you.

21Yet you may eat these: of all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have long, jointed legs for hopping on the earth.
