Leviticus 11:23

“But all winged creeping things which have four feet, are an abomination to you.”

Verse in context — Leviticus 11

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.

Even of these you may eat: any kind of locust, any kind of katydid, any kind of cricket, and any kind of grasshopper.

But all winged creeping things which have four feet, are an abomination to you.

By these you will become unclean: whoever touches the carcass of them shall be unclean until the evening.

Whoever carries any part of their carcass shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening.

Laws for holiness, worship, and sacrifice, showing God’s standard of purity for His people.
