Leviticus 11:20
Compare all
18 the white owl, the jackdaw, and the carrion vulture;
19 the stork, the heron after its kind, the hoopoe, and the bat.
20 ‘All flying insects that creep on all fours shall be an abomination to you.
21 Yet these you may eat of every flying insect that creeps on all fours: those which have jointed legs above their feet with which to leap on the earth.
22 These you may eat: athe locust after its kind, the destroying locust after its kind, the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.  
23 But all other flying insects which have four feet shall be an abomination to you.
