Levítico 11:20 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 11:20

All fowls that creep
Or rather "every creeping thing that flies"; for what are designed are not properly fowls, but, as the Jewish writers interpret them, flies, fleas, bees, wasps, hornets, locusts so the Targum of Jonathan, Jarchi, Ben Gersom, and Maimonides F25:

going upon [all] four;
that is, upon their four feet, when they walk or creep:

[these shall be] an abomination to you;
not used as food, but detested as such.

F25 Maacolot Asurot, c. 2. l. 5.

18 la lechuza nocturna, el pelícano, el buitre,
19 la cigüeña, toda clase de garzas, la abubilla y el murciélago.
20 »A todo insecto alado que camina en cuatro patas lo considerarán ustedes un animal inmundo.
21 Hay, sin embargo, algunos insectos alados que caminan en cuatro patas y que ustedes podrán comer: los que además de sus patas tienen zancas para saltar,
