"But whatever certainly walks upon four feet, and also has longer legs behind, with which it hops upon the earth,"
— Leviticus 11:21, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Yet 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;”
“Yet these may ye eat of all winged creeping things that go upon all fours, which have legs above their feet, wherewith to leap upon the earth; ”
“Yet you may eat these: of all winged creeping things that go on all fours, which have legs above their feet, with which to hop on the earth.”
“However, this you may eat from all the winged swarming things that walk on all fours, which have jointed legs to hop with on the land.”
“But whatsoever walketh upon four feet, but hath the legs behind longer, wherewith it hoppeth upon the earth,”
“But of the winged four-footed things, those which have long legs for jumping on the earth you may have for food;”
“Yet 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;”
and the swan, and the pelican, and the marsh hen,
the heron, and the plover according to its kind, the crested hoopoe, and also the bat.
Of all that flies, whatever steps upon four feet shall be abominable to you.
But whatever certainly walks upon four feet, and also has longer legs behind, with which it hops upon the earth,
you shall eat, such as the beetle in its kind, and the cricket, and grasshopper, and the locust, each one according to its kind.
But among flying things, whatever has only four feet shall be detestable to you.
And whoever will have touched their carcasses shall be defiled, and he shall be unclean until evening.
