And God said, “Let the waters teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.”

And every living thing that moved upon the earth perished—birds, livestock, animals, every creature that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind.

Or if a person touches anything unclean—whether the carcass of any unclean wild animal or livestock or crawling creature—even if he is unaware of it, he is unclean and guilty.

But the following among all the teeming life and creatures in the water are detestable to you: everything in the seas or streams that does not have fins and scales.

All flying insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you.

However, you may eat the following kinds of flying insects that walk on all fours: those having jointed legs above their feet for hopping on the ground.

All other flying insects that have four legs are detestable to you.

The following creatures that move along the ground are unclean for you: the mole, the mouse, any kind of great lizard,

These animals are unclean for you among all the crawling creatures. Whoever touches them when they are dead shall be unclean until evening.

Every creature that moves along the ground is detestable; it must not be eaten.

Do not eat any creature that moves along the ground, whether it crawls on its belly or walks on four or more feet; for such creatures are detestable.

Do not defile yourselves by any crawling creature; do not become unclean or defiled by them.

For I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, because I am holy. You must not defile yourselves by any creature that crawls along the ground.

…or whoever touches a crawling creature or a person that makes him unclean, whatever the uncleanness may be—

All flying insects are unclean for you; they may not be eaten.
