Leviticus 11:19-21
Evangelical Heritage Version

19 the stork and all species of herons, the hoopoe, and the bat.[a]

20 All winged swarming insects that walk on all fours[b] are detestable for you. 21 But among all the winged swarming insects that walk on all fours you may eat those that have jointed legs above their feet, with which they leap off the ground.

Footnotes

  1. Leviticus 11:19 The precise identity of some of the birds is uncertain. The list is really a list of creatures that fly since it includes the bat.
  2. Leviticus 11:20 The meaning is that they walk or crawl rather than hop. The issue is not the number of legs but the manner of locomotion.
